When the fate of Henry Cavill as James Bond is stuck on a call Greta Gerwig opens up about her idea of directing the film.

While Henry Cavill Waits on a Call, Barbie Director Greta Gerwig Voices Her Thought on Directing James Bond

Last month, Casino Royale director Martin Campbell revealed that Henry Cavill
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] auditioned for James Bond.
Fans have long been wanting that the actor gets this role as he has both caliber
and experience. And the other reason is that the British superstar lost his
previous roles, so it would be great if he got something iconic like it.
However, fans have received no update on the matter since then and he is waiting
for a callback. In the midst of this hope for his future, Greta Gerwig has
talked about her prospect to direct the same project.

The American director has been making waves in the industry since she announced
her highly acclaimed movie Barbie. The live-action adaptation of the doll world
recently turned the internet upside down with its amazing story and stellar
cast. For the promotions of the same, Greta Gerwig appeared on the Inside Total
Film [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3T1RhHTXOFy231xlujKSJL] podcast.

In this interview, she talked about her new endeavors and if she is interested
in James Bond. In her response, the Oscar-nominated director stated that she
never really considered it. At this time, Gerwig wants to stick with her
upcoming project Narnia
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-barbie-director-greta-gerwig-on-why-shes-terrified-of-directing-the-narnia-movies-for-netflix/]
that Netflix offered her. However, she has expressed her admiration for the 007
producer Barbara Broccoli.

So there is a possibility the 39-year-old might join hands with this franchise
if the opportunity comes to her. Meanwhile, the chances of Henry Cavill taking
the lead might have some problems that he faced 20 years ago.


HENRY CAVILL DOES NOT FIT THE AGE CRITERIA FOR THE NEW JAMES BOND 

Henry Cavill fans might know that the actor auditioned for Casino Royale at the
beginning of his career. However, the Enola Holmes star lost that chance because
he was too young. And now when he is considered again the British superstar is
once again facing a similar kind of situation except he is too old now.

This is indeed a cruel and ironic twist that when this face of talent has the
opportunity, it might just slip from his hand as he has entered his forties. So
if he takes the role of 007, he would end up like Daniel Craig and might
approach his sixties doing the last film.
