“I’m quite busy now. I love those guys, Barbara [Broccoli] and Mike [G. Wilson]… Whether I’m considered for the role or not, I don’t know. But it’d be fun to have the conversation, for sure.
And if I’m not, then I just want to see what they do with it next, because I think they’re amazing.”

The Contract of James Bond Is In Henry Cavill’s Favor
Henry Cavill recently left The Witcher franchise (2019-).
It was recently announced that the contract to portray the role of James Bond is a 10-year contract.
Henry Cavill had been rejected before from playing Bond in Casino Royale since they wanted an elder actor to portray the role. The Man of Steel actor, now in his late 30s, is the perfect age to take on the role of the 007 agent.
The contract was also one of the factors for Idris Elba to get out of the James Bond race since he was also considered heavily for the role.
Although Cavill has admitted interest in the franchise, there has been no official statement from Barbara Brocolli or Mike G. Wilson regarding their consideration for Henry Cavill.
The actor has most recently starred as Superman in Black Adam (2022) and as Sherlock Holmes in Enola Homes 2 (2022).
