Henry Cavill would “love” James Bond role – but not the one you think

by

For a long time, people have speculated that Henry Cavill could be the next James Bond, given his experience playing secret agents in other films. However, in a recent interview, Cavill clarified that while he’s interested in being part of the James Bond series, he doesn’t necessarily want to be James Bond.

In a recent interview with Heat magazine, the actor who played Superman clarified that he didn’t reject the role, but simply wasn’t available at that moment.

Every actor dreams of playing James Bond. However, at my age – 42 – I think I’ve probably missed the chance to start a run as 007.

Instead, he’s got his eye on a different type of Bond character.

He admitted he’d love to play a Bond villain, adding that the right role would be a really interesting challenge.

I remember he played the bad guy in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. His character, August Walker, was this super imposing CIA assassin who really gave Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt a run for his money – it was a tough fight!

During filming, two amusing incidents involving facial hair occurred. First, the famous mustache that had to be digitally removed from the Justice League movie. Second, a visual mistake where a beard and shirt pocket briefly appeared whenever the actor ‘reloaded’ his punches.

I heard something really interesting from Henry Cavill! Apparently, the people in charge of the Fallout movie, and even Tom Cruise himself, wouldn’t let him do one of the coolest, most challenging stunts in the whole film. It’s crazy to think they held him back from doing it!

He explained that he was able to handle everything himself except for one thing. He was particularly upset that he couldn’t do a HALO jump – a jump that starts at a high altitude and opens the parachute at a low altitude.

For me, parachuting out of a C17 aircraft at twilight felt like a dream come true, and I was desperately hoping they’d allow it. I pleaded with Tom, and he finally told me he understood my desire, but warned that if I went through with it, I’d likely endanger everyone on board, including himself.
