Henry Cavill’s departure from DC and The Witcher has left a deep wound that would otherwise only be possible with a 32 ACP. Speaking of which, this deep wound will only heal if it were the British actor holding the iconic James Bond 32 ACP gun. The past year has been a whirlwind of countless speculations, especially in the case of Henry Cavill. Fans were at first intrigued with a possible Marvel debut when there was no sign of him in Black Adam.

Then came Daniel Craig’s retirement from the James Bond franchise, and fans KNEW that the mantle should go to Henry Cavill. His ties to the role do not start with him confessing that he would love to play the role, but long back in 2005, when he was actually all set to appear in Casino Royale.

Craig was selected at the end as they preferred someone older. However, Martin Campbell really wanted Henry Cavill back then. And fans are wholeheartedly hoping that the love has only grown over the years.

Will Henry Cavill be the next James Bond?

Given the recent turn of events, there is a pang in the heart every time Henry Cavill and a big movie franchise are in a sentence that ends with a question mark. At first, it was the news of him quitting The Witcher. And then came the announcement of his return to DC, which within a month was rebutted with another announcement of him leaving Superman for good.

Both roles have been pivotal not just in Cavill’s career but in their own cinematic universes. Henry Cavill brought life, vulnerability, and struggle to both the characters, which will now remain iconic, thanks to him.

With both The Witcher and Superman out of his way, fans need him to be cast as James Bond. However, it is not just a mindless plea. Cavill with his blue eyes, British accent, class, and physique is as close as it gets to the real James Bond, who may as well have been an ancestor.

The James Bond franchise, as well as Cavill, are the perfect match for each other. Cavill has recently left DC and James Bond has separated from Daniel Craig.

Therefore, we believe the two should be swiping right on each other instantly. Cavill may be meant for James Bond. But he is not the only one. From Idris Elba to Harry Styles, the list goes long. But Cavill and his fans really need this one ‘James Bond’ sized win.
