In statements collected by TMZ, the filmmaker mentions: “He looked great at the audition. His performance was tremendous. And he looks, if Daniel didn’t exist, Henry would have made an excellent Bond. He was in excellent physical shape, very handsome, very chiseled. He just looked a bit young at the time.”

Unfortunately for Henry Cavill, he appeared Daniel Craig and he stayed with the role for more than a decade, although neither the film director nor the actor ruled out that he could take the role in the next productions of James Bond.

Among the names that sounded in recent months are Idris Elbe and Aaron Taylor-Johnsonbut the one that is most exciting is that of Henry, who could assume the role for which he auditioned years ago.

“Henry is 40 years old, so when he finishes the third he will be 50 years old and anything beyond that is two, three years for Bond. He’s in good shape, Henry, he’s a good guy,” Campbell added.

Henry Cavill is one of the most recognized actors of the time, because in addition to Superman He also gave life to Sherlock Holmes and Geralt de Rivia, the latter the star of The Witcher.

The search for a new James Bond has been in the works for months, but the producers and filmmakers of the new agent 007 stories are still looking for the ideal actor to put themselves in the shoes of the most important spy in the United Kingdom.
