The next Bond movie is said to be a “complete reinvention” of the series and it’s reported that producers are looking for someone younger, ideally in their 30s. He did very well in the audition, but ironically, he was too young.” He’s in good shape Henry, he’s a good guy. Anything beyond that’s two, three years per Bond. “Henry’s 40, so by the time he’s done the third one he’s going to be 50.

And the next guy’s going to have to do that.

So, that’s going to take, what, six years of your life maybe? I suspect Daniel the same deal. I know with Pierce he had to sign on to three when we did him. “I think they sign on for three Bonds, I’m not absolutely 100% certain of that. Could Cavill now play Bond? “By the time Daniel got to really he was at an age where one more would have been too old for him,” said Campbell. It’s no secret that 007 producers are now on the lookout for the next James Bond after Daniel Craig left the franchise behind with No Time to Die. I probably wasn’t ready at the time and I think Daniel did an incredible job over the past movies, so I’m happy they made that choice.” “They obviously went with Daniel and I think it was an amazing choice to go with Daniel. “It was ultimately down to, and this is what I’ve been told, it was just down to me and Daniel, and I was the younger option,” said Cavill in an interview with Josh Horowitz. At the time, Cavill was only 23, so his casting would have made him the youngest Bond yet. However, Campbell thinks Cavill simply missed his time to play the iconic British superspy. The role, of course, went to Daniel Craig. Famously, Cavill just missed out on the role of 007 back when casting for the 2006 hit, Casino Royale, took place.
