Henry Cavill has dropped a hint that he could be the next James Bond.

The former Superman actor is currently starring as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher.  

During an interview with the Sunday Times, the 38-year-old was asked whether he would take on the iconic role after Daniel Craig.

He said: “Time will tell. 

“You don’t know which direction they want to take Bond in and so I like to say that everything’s always on the table.” 

He added that he hasn’t watched the most recent movie because he’s ‘had no time’. 

According to The Times, Cavill was up for the role back in 2006, but was ‘told he should lose weight after a test scene in which he walked out of a shower’.

It comes as Ben Whishaw, who plays ‘Q’ in No Time To Die, revealed he thinks Daniel Craig’s replacement should be a gay actor.

The 40-year-old told Attitude magazine that he would love to see ‘real progress’ when it comes to the next casting.

He said: “God, can you imagine? I mean, it would be quite an extraordinary thing [if a gay actor was cast]. Of course, I would like to see that.

“I really believe that we should be working towards a world where anyone can play anything and it would be really thrilling if it didn’t matter about someone’s sexuality to take on a role like this.

“I think that would be real progress. But we’ll see, we’ll see where we’re at.

“I’m amazed by how much has changed just in the last five or six years, so we’ll see.”
