Casino Royale Director Explains Why Henry Cavill’s Had Really Tough Luck With Landing The James Bond Role

Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo in The Man From UNCLE

The history of the James Bond movies has been both a past and present concern for Henry Cavill, as he’s been one of the hottest tipped candidates for the role for two cycles now. Casino Royale director Martin Campbell’s reason for not casting Cavill was simply that the Witcher star just looked too young for the part. In revisiting that story for a recent event, Campbell has now expanded upon it to explain why one of the most popular potential 007s has had really tough luck when trying to land the role.
