James Bond is an icon who has been performed by nice actors corresponding to Sean Connery, Roger Moor, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Craig has lastly hung up his spy devices and referred to as it quits as agent 007.

This implies Henry Cavill might be again within the operating to get the position. He’s been within the headlines lengthy earlier than he departed from The Witcher and located that his alternative to play Superman once more evaporated lengthy earlier than the ink finalizing the deal of his return even dried. Together with his subsequent undertaking being Warhammer 40K, if he turns into the following James Bond – sure, we wish to proceed day-dreaming – he would have his fingers full between bringing to life the world of an impressive recreation and hopping into the footwear of essentially the most badass spy ever.
