Meh. Could have been worse, but Cavil is still my first choice.
Looks scrawny.
I mean, it could have DEFINITELY been worse, but I don't really like the idea at this moment. He seems too boyish and his voice is too high pitched. I'd like a more masculine Bond. Not someone that looks like they could still pass for a high school student.
Dammit, I was holding out hope for Henry Cavill. Looking at the field today, it doesn't get more perfect than him for Bond.
But alas, if this is who we get, I won't complain too hard. I was worried for a sec they were going to do something really stupid. Luckily it seems like they won't. Good on them.
Kick-ass pick
Cavill to me just seems a bit too like Brosnan, a safe obvious idea of what Bond should be like. I think that worked for Goldeneye because the film actually played against that persona, played against eh fact he was a bit of a cliched mix of previous Bonds and became about the actual man behind that but the sequels just when with the standard persona and became very bland IMHO.
What I'd suggest watching is Nocturnal Animals to see him play menacing.
I could see him playing Bond almost as a mix of Hardy and Hiddlestone, a bit thugish but also maybe a bit more slippery. CRaig did the former well but his Bond was always clearly an assassin with a heart of gold so having Bond were theres a bit more question as to how good he is could be something interesting.
Only movie I saw him in was Godzilla--a movie I liked but most hated.
Henry Cavil is too pretty in my opinion.
Tom Hardy has been a name that's been tossed around as the next 007.
I think Chris Hemsworth could pull it off.
And if he can act retired soccer player David Beckham actually has a good Bond look.
If it was we never would have had Moore, Dalton, Brosnan or Lazenby or Niven.Thank fuck it’s not up to you, is all I can say.

Rumors have exploded all over the internet that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is going to be the next James Bond. Apparently he had a secret audition with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and they loved him so much that now they're dead set on making him the next 007. If the rumors are true, expect the official announcement no later than mid-2023.
Here's just a few of the many articles reporting on it:
