Who Should Replace James Bond? Amazon's CEO Weighs In

Following Amazon's acquisition of full creative control over the James Bond franchise, replacing long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the question of the next 007 is paramount. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos even posed this question to his X/Twitter followers, revealing a clear frontrunner.

While contenders like Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have been suggested, Henry Cavill emerges as the overwhelming fan favorite.

Who'd You Pick as the Next Bond?

Cavill's surge in popularity following Bezos' tweet is undeniable, fueled by fervent Bond fans advocating for the Superman and Witcher actor to succeed Daniel Craig. His involvement in Amazon's Warhammer 40,000 project further fuels speculation.

Interestingly, Cavill previously auditioned for Casino Royale (2006), an audition deemed "tremendous" by director Martin Campbell. However, at 23, he was considered too young. Campbell later stated that Cavill would have made an excellent Bond had Daniel Craig not been cast. Cavill himself acknowledged he likely wasn't ready at the time and praised Craig's performance.

With Craig's departure after No Time to Die, the search for his successor is underway. Campbell's comments suggest a three-film commitment for the next Bond, a timeframe that could potentially work for the now 40-year-old Cavill. While previously deemed too young, his current age and experience could make him a strong contender.
