“He ticks all the boxes. He’s a super talented actor, he’s extremely handsome, and in the last 18 months he’s gained loads of new fans since joining Emily in Paris,” the sources say.
Henry Cavill’s name has been on the lips of fans around the world reflecting on his recent departure from The Witcher and ditching the Superman suit. Although Cavill has missed out on the most notable roles that redefined his career, good news could be coming soon as his chance at the role of James Bond after the departure of Daniel Craig it seems feasible.
After Daniel Craig’s last entry as the titular character in ‘No Time To Die,’ Henry Cavill was a favorite for the James Bond mantle after the initial exclusion of Edris Elba, but it seems Superman has another outsider.
When Henry was emerging as the favorite to take over from Daniel Craig after his departure, out of nowhere a new rising star, Lucien Laviscount, a much less famous actor, seemed to catch the eye of Bond producer Barbara Broccoli., which owns the rights to the James Bond franchise. The newcomer’s first popular appearance was in a teen drama Grange hill and he got his promotion by starring as Emily’s love interest in Emily in Paris. According to the producer, the actor shares all the essential attributes for the role of James Bond.
“Lucien ticks all the boxes. He’s a super-talented actor, he’s extremely handsome, and in the last 18 months he’s gained loads of new fans since joining Emily in Paris. Bond bosses are already saying how he can be seen with 007’s tuxedo, how stylish and suited he’ll be for the role,” says an Insider.
Aside from all the good qualities that Lucien Laviscount possesses to be the new frontrunner for the role, Henry Cavill might just pass him by as he looks like he the producer is not happy with the previous participation of Lucien Laviscount in the celebrity show Big Brother, where he competed. According to the Bond producers, these are small-time things that don’t suit a Bond actor. Although he’s handsome, fit, effortlessly elegant and has all the right ingredients that make Bond an international heartthrob, this sleazy trait may prevent him from beating early favorite Cavill out of the race.
Henry might still have a chance, considering he nearly snatched the role from Daniel Craig in 2005., but after Daniel Craig, he has been on the front lines for a while. The recent news may make fans lose hope, but Henry Cavill can still play the next 007 on the big screen, as he also has all the attributes, as well as the fact that the sense of maturity and confidence that Henry Cavill brings to his characters, which makes him an incredible choice to continue the six-decade legacy of James Bond. Given a lower point from his opponent, Henry can get the pass.
