One iconic character has influenced many lives for years and that is none other than James Bond. However, Daniel Craig will not come back to the franchise, and the search for the next Bond is on the move. While fans were aware of Henry Cavill wanting to play the character, is it still going to happen? While Cavill returned to the DC Universe as Superman, will it affect the casting director’s choice?

Well, portraying a character for more than a decade sets the bar pretty much higher for any other actor. Craig has justified the character with his charm and skills for more than we can even think of. Therefore, it might be a little tough job for the franchise to find the perfect match as well. Although Cavill expressed his desire to be James Bond, will his decision to wear the cape back on affect his place in the selection process?
