The question of who will play James Bond is back in the spotlight after Amazon MGM acquired the franchise. Jeff Bezos, the company's founder, decided to ask fans on social media.
The responses were immediate, ranging from humorous suggestions like Melania Trump and Bezos himself to serious candidates like Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Tom Hardy. But Henry Cavill was the clear winner.
Fans have long considered Cavill the perfect candidate for the role of Agent 007. His charisma and acting experience have won the hearts of viewers more than once. The DC Universe star as Superman and Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher are roles that have made Cavill a worldwide favorite.
In addition, he has already tried himself in the role of a spy in such films as Argyle: Superspy, Mission: Impossible and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. by Guy Ritchie. Add to this the role of Sherlock Holmes in the Enola Holmes duology, and it becomes obvious that the actor has everything to worthily continue the legendary Bond series.
Given the close cooperation with Amazon, Cavill's chances for the role of Bond look higher than ever. At the end of last year, the company announced a series based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe with Henry in the lead role and as a producer. In addition, filming has begun on a film based on the animated series Voltron: Defender of the Universe, where Cavill will again appear in the lead role.
Given the people's love, rich acting experience and a successful partnership with Amazon, Henry Cavill seems like an ideal candidate for the role of the new James Bond. Now all that remains is to wait for the official decision and find out whether the fans' hopes will come true.
