With a muscular physique, deep, poignant voice, and a profile history of some back-to-back hits! Henry Cavill might as well be a perfect fit for playing the next 007 role. However, the odds are becoming less than expected as other actors give tough competition to the 39-year-old British actor. James Bond has become a household name in Hollywood ever since its first movie became a breakout hit.

However, with Daniel Craig stepping down the role after fifteen glorious years of playing James Bond, who is the best suitor to carry the legacy forward is a hot topic in the entertainment media right now. Several actors have been shortlisted for the same. And fascinatingly, the fan-favorite Geralt of Rivia is among the top-listed candid ates. And until now, only the English actor Idris Elba surpassed Cavill in the list of candidates. However, we now have another fascinating actor, Tom Hardy to replace him.
