That's the thing with Henry Cavill. On the one hand, there are numerous promising projects coming up in the future. So he will slip into the sword-wielding role in the reboot of a brilliant fantasy epic from the 1980s. He is also working with Amazon (Fallout) on the realization of a monumental science fiction saga.
On the other hand, he lost in the frame his career already two iconic roles that half of Hollywood would fight for. A new Geralt of Rivia has already been found for The Witcher. And the new Superman is now also making a name for himself. What's next for Henry Cavill?

The rumor mill has currently zeroed in on Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The 33-year-old Brit is a double Marvel hero and could be in Sony's Spider-Man Universe for the worry about the next brutal flop and has already impressed alongside Hollywood megastar Brad Pitt.

Will Henry Cavill be the next James Bond?
The reason why he will almost certainly never play the iconic role of James Bond 007 is obvious to the British actor. In an interview about his new film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare he realizes that he is simply too old. But one thing cannot go unmentioned at this point.
In The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the new film by Guy Ritchie (Disney's Aladdin, Sherlock Holmes), Henry Cavill plays a very special role.
