Henry Cavill Fuels James Bond Casting Demand With New Video
Henry Cavill fuels James Bond casting demand with his appearance in a new advertisement. After taking over from Pierce Brosnan before him, Daniel Craig took up the role of 007 for five films, ultimately bidding farewell to the franchise with last year's No Time To Die. The film was a hit with both audiences and critics, and sees Craig's Bond killed off during its climactic final act — a first for the long-running spy franchise. With Craig's tenure as James Bond now officially at an end, 007's future remains up in the air, and many are wondering who will be next to take over the iconic role.
Even before Craig officially announced that No Time To Die would be his last Bond film, audiences have been touting a handful of British actors as his possible replacement. Cavill is one name that appears regularly, with others including Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Richard Madden, Idris Elba, and Tom Hiddleston. James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson previously stated that they wanted to give Craig's last film time to breathe before undertaking the search for a new 007. Nine months removed from the release of No Time To Die, however, many are clamoring for an update.

In the ad, as he walks past the car and glances back at it, Cavill says, "Life will always have its sweet temptations."
