Henry Cavill is going through a rough patch, of sorts. Despite fans finding him to be great as Geralt of Rivia in the Witcher live adaptation series, Cavill has been let go by Netflix for the next Season. To make matters worse, film producers Warner Bros. also announced that they will be actively looking for a new face in the next Superman movie. This also came as shocking news as Cavill did a pretty good job as Clark Kent in Zack Snyder’s Superman and Justice League movies.
In such times, Cavill has at least been blessed by mass support from the community. Fans have criticized the decisions of both Netflix and WB explicitly, assuring Cavill he is indeed The Man of Steel who can withstand such blows with ease. Cavill also kept to himself, making videos of him building his own gaming PCs. While the fans were coming to terms with the situation, James Bond director Campbell made ripples with new palpable new revelations.
“James Bond” was there for the taking
IGN’s Twitter post quoted Campbell saying, “If Daniel [Craig] didn’t exist Henry [Cavill] would have made an excellent Bond.” Campbell also said Cavill’s audition for the role of deadly spy was “tremendous” and he also had the perfect body shape required for the role. The only thing that stood in Superman’s way was his age.
“He just looked a little young at that time“, Campbell revealed. The news has made fans’ hearts break a little more as undoubtedly many would’ve loved to witness Cavill’s depiction as the seductive spy, working tirelessly to save the planet one more time.
With the role eventually going to the very capable Daniel Craig, Fans now wait to see which path Geralt embarks on for his new journey.
