It\u2019s been 18 years since Daniel Craig bagged the role of James Bond, beating a 22-year-old Henry Cavill to the role in the 2005 auditions for Casino Royale.<\/p>\n

Of course, the young hunk went on to be cast as Superman but now that the 007 part is vacant again, might he take it up?<\/p>\n

After all, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were all considered for Bond before they were cast.<\/p>\n

As it stands Cavill is 11-2 to be cast as Ian Fleming\u2019s spy next, in joint third with Reg\u00e9-Jean Page.<\/p>\n

According to Oddschecker, the second most likely is James Norton on 5-1 and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the favourite on 3-1. Yet news out of Hollywood today could well dash Cavill\u2019s chances entirely.<\/p>\n

Deadline report today that the rumoured Highlander reboot starring Cavill is going ahead at Lionsgate, helmed by John Wick quadrilogy director Chad Stahelski.<\/p>\n

The fantasy epic about an immortal Scottish swordsman is set to shoot in 2024, which will probably be when the next Bond is finally announced for a 2025 release (that’s our best guess anyway).<\/p>\n

Now if Cavill\u2019s taking on a new franchise it will be harder for him to be available to become the new 007.<\/p>\n

On top of Highlander, there are other things against The Witcher star’s chances of being the next Bond, despite being the runner-up last time around.<\/p>\n
