Henry Cavill Still Wants to Play James Bond After Previous Screen Test Didn't Land Him Role

Henry Cavill still wants to be considered for the role of James Bond after Daniel Craig.

Daniel Craig‘s last Bond film, No Time to Die, will hit theaters in November, and at that point, there will be a search for the next 007.

“If Barbara [Bond producer Barbara Broccoli] and Mike [co-producer Michael G. Wilson] were interested in that, I would absolutely jump at the opportunity,” Henry told British GQ. “At this stage, it’s all up in the air. We’ll see what happens. But yes, I would love to play Bond, it would be very, very exciting.”

He then recalled his previous screen test for the role in the past, which he lost to Daniel.

“I probably could have prepared better,” Henry added. “I remember the director, Martin Campbell, saying, ‘Looking a little chubby there, Henry.’ I didn’t know how to train or diet. And I’m glad Martin said something, because I respond well to truth. It helps me get better.”

There is a rumor about who will be taking over for the role of James Bond.
