Henry Cavill may still have not received an update on playing James Bond but a look at his similarities with the spy makes him a perfect fit

Henry Cavill as James Bond? Actor’s Favorite Drink Adds Another Similarity With the Super Spy

In 2021, No Time to Die made its way to the theaters and closed the chapter of
Daniel Craig’s take on the super spy. Essaying the role for more than a decade,
the actor’s role had come across as the first 21st-century iteration of the 007
agent and after his exit, swift talks circled on his possible successors. Among
the crowd of massive talents, one name echoed far ahead of others to take over
the mantle. A bevy of fans and cinema enthusiasts pictured Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as the next James Bond and,
despite no progress as of yet, he remains an ideal suitor.

Interestingly, one acute observation brought about another striking similarity
between the actor and the fictional character far beneath the surface.


HENRY CAVILL AND JAMES BOND HAVE ONE COINCIDENTAL CHOICE IN COMMON

The world of James Bond is far deeper than the intrigues and thrill of spy
action. Luxe, suits, cars, classy aesthetics, and fancy armory mark the
continued interest in the franchise. In several of his books, Ian Fleming has
mentioned a shaken martini as James Bond’s drink of choice, which coincidentally
also happens to be Henry Cavill’s go-to. A fansite, Mr. Cavill, had mentioned

way back in 2009 that a dirty martini with olive brines sits well with the
British actor.



The choice of drinks marks a complex connection between the two personas that
fans can hardly categorize separately in their minds. Additionally, his physical
stature, keen sense of action, fighting skills, and dedication to the craft make
the ex-Superman actor a perfect fit for the next 007. However, despite numerous
fan requests and campaigns, the production company behind the franchise has yet
to revamp its slate for a reboot,

prolonging the anticipation.

Remarkably, back in 2006, Henry Cavill had almost cast himself as James Bond,
but fate had other plans in mind.


DANIEL CRAIG AND A TWIST OF FATE KEPT AND STILL KEEP THE ACTOR AWAY FROM HELMING
007

Auditioning for James Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale, Henry Cavill made his way
alongside Daniel Craig as one of the finalists. However, his then-young age of
the 20s made the producers opt for his senior and more experienced co-finalist.
Unfortunately, close to two decades later, and now in his 40s, the Justice
League actor’s age has once again made him an outcast for the role.



Starring as Bond would bind Cavill to play him for at least a decade. Yet, with
the studio looking for a younger option, fate may not be by his side.
Regardless, he has found his saving grace in Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/argylle/]. The upcoming February 2 spy
thriller will take on a meta-universal approach and come in as a mind-bending
yet similar flick to the 007 franchise flicks.
