James Bond is a cultural icon because he has been around for 70 years. During that time, many actors played the iconic part, and each actor brought something different to the character. Since Daniel Craig left the part in 2021 after No Time to Die, the search is on for a new actor to play the iconic character, and it looks like Henry Cavill is one of the top candidates.
The star from “Man of Steel” has said he wants to play James Bond, and he is now closer than ever to getting the part. However, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is standing in the way of Henry Cavill getting his dream part.
Can Henry Cavill finally get the part he’s always wanted?
There has been much talk about who would be the next 007, and Henry Cavill has been mentioned a lot as a likely choice. The actor has great looks and a body that would go well with the famous role.
But that’s not all. The actor from Immortals had said before that he tried out for the part of James Bond in the 2006 movie Casino Royale before he became Superman. The actor says he was very close to getting the region, but Daniel Craig got it instead because the writers wanted an actor in their early 40s, and Cavill was only 23 then.
Since then, the actor has been in many action movies like Mission: Impossible: Fallout, The Witcher, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and many more. These movies have helped him get closer to playing his dream part.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson might be able to be the next James Bond.
When Daniel Craig played James Bond for the fifth and last time in No Time to Die in 2021, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson did not make any official decisions, but they did say that a younger version of the famous character would work. Agent 007 is a complicated person who is always up for an adventure and willing to take risks. The character would go to exotic places and try to get women to fall in love with him, all while completing his task. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a great choice for the part because of this.
When he was in Kick-Ass, he got a lot of attention. That got him a job with Marvel, where he played Pietro Maxiemoff/Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Even though the actor doesn’t have as many movies under his belt as Henry Cavill does for the same part, Bullet Train showed that he has a charming and great personality.
