After the absolute mess of his Superman reintroduction and then axing, there's a big franchise-shaped hole in Cavill's life waiting to be filled.
Sixteen years later, matured as an actor and a man, surely he could go one better? He's got the gap in his schedule, at least. Auditioning for the role, aged 22, in 2005, Cavill reached the final two before Craig edged him out (apparently it was a virtual toss-up). Classically handsome, but could clearly take you in a fight. Square-jawed, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, blue-eyed. Why: Draw a picture of Bond and the result would be Henry Cavill.
