"There are no conversations just yet, but we'll see what happens. And if it is indeed his last one, then the playing field is open. "I think Daniel – sorry, Mr Craig – has done an incredible job of being Bond. "With the whole Bond process, I screen-tested many, many moons ago and it was, as far as I know, down to Daniel and myself," Henry Cavill tells Men's Health. By now, you're hopefully aware that the role eventually went to Daniel Craig who has been using the alias 007, sometimes through gritted teeth it seems, ever since, but the next Bond film, No Time to Die, is almost certainly going to be Craig's last, and the man who lost out to Craig all those years ago is finally ready to take his drinks shaken, not stirred. Reintroducing Ian Fleming’s literary superspy to the world twice, and with impressive results each time, has only proven that very few know Bond better than Campbell himself.The story goes that the last time James Bond's Aston Martin was left without a driver, producers were left with two options to take the keys. In recent remarks it sounds like that search isn’t as near as we previously thought, thanks to Barbara Broccoli stating that “it’s going to take some time.” While there’s always a chance he might return in the director’s chair, Martin Campbell might be the person to consult on who should be the next Bond. The world of 007 fans are currently in the dark as to when and where James Bond will return, and who will be playing the part. He was excellent at all of that, and he gave a very good performance too. I remember on the test being very impressed with his ripping out phones and belting people. He’s always good with the physical stuff too. I loved him in, I thought he worked great with Tom Cruise. He’s better, with age and his experience. Martin Campbell’s further praise of Cavill, both in his audition and his current career, might just boost those odds even more, as he said the following: Though the search for the new James Bond happening in its own time, the actor continues to show a strong presence in the betting odds. Even with initial reticence, Casino Royale’s helmer saw the sense, and Craig’s era had officially began with the bang it needed.Īdmittedly with Casino Royale celebrating its 15th anniversary last year, some time has passed between Henry Cavill’s fateful audition among seven other hopefuls. The producers at EON Productions who oversee the Bond legacy, their thoughts were that Daniel Craig was a leading man just waiting for the right opportunity. Wilson when it came to casting the sixth James Bond. Reading what Martin Campbell said above, it sounds like he was on the same wavelength as producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. He did a very good test, he was too young, and also he wasn’t as experienced as Daniel … Daniel just fitted the part from being a superb actor, and probably the best actor amongst them all. During our interview on the press day for Memory, Martin Campbell told CinemaBlend a different story, which started with the reason why Henry Cavill apparently didn’t make the cut: While there was no mention of that incident in particular, I did ask Campbell what he’s though of Henry as an actor after their previous meeting. Previously, an infamous story about how Cavill was told he was apparently too chubby to play James Bond had made the rounds.
