Henry Cavill has suggested he may be “too old now” to play James Bond, despite the persistent rumours linking him to the role.The Argylle actor made the admission during a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show while promoting his new Guy Ritchie film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.Asked if he had any Bond casting updates, Cavill replied: “I have no idea. All I have to go off of is the rumours.
I have the same information you have. “Maybe I’m too old now or maybe I’m not.
We’ll see what the [producers’] plans are.”Speculation about Cavill’s casting was recently reignited due to a fake viral trailer, partially created by AI, that reimagined the former Superman actor as 007 and Margot Robbie as his Bond Girl.The AI-generated trailer garnered over 2.5 million views on YouTube and further stoked fan interest in Cavill being named as the new Bond following Daniel Craig’s departure.Cavill’s history with the 007 franchise dates back to Casino Royale, where he auditioned for the role but lost out to Craig.Back in February, during a joint interview, Argylle director Matthew Vaughn revealed to Cavill that he almost beat Craig to the role, but was ultimately deemed “too young” by the producers.“It got down to the last two for Bond… And I know that the director preferred your audition. But [producer] Barbara [Broccoli] preferred [Craig],” Vaughn told Cavill.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Henry Cavill nodded to his tumultuous history with post-credits scenes during a recent screening of his new Guy Ritchie-directed movie “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” As reported by Insider, Cavill made some introductory remarks before the film and references his other Ritchie films, including his leading turn in the 2015 spy film “The Man from U.N.C.L.E” and his appearance “in a post-credits scene” for the director’s 2017 box office disappointment “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” “Turns out, I don’t have much luck with post-credit scenes,” Cavill then wisecracked to much audience laughter. “So, I may give up on those.” Cavill is likely referring to how “King Arthur” did not get a sequel because it flopped at the box, but also a debacle ensued years later when he showed up as Superman in the post-credits scene of the 2022 comic book tentpole “Black Adam,” headlined by Dwayne Johnson. The moment heralded the return of his iteration of the Man of Steel and set up a future in the DC Universe where he’d go toe-to-toe with Johnson’s Black Adam.
