As rumors of who will be the nextJames Bondcontinue to circulate,The Ministry of Ungentlemanly WarfarestarEiza Gonzálezbelieves there is only one right choice: her co-starHenry Cavill. Speaking withEW, González is rooting for Cavill to become the new 007 following the departure of Daniel Craig and says it’s hard not to look at theMan of Steelstar and just see the iconic spy.
“It’s hard not to look at Henry Cavill and think of James Bond, to be really honest. Obviously, I’m part of the group of people that are rooting for him to get it hopefully, if that was a possibility.”
Henry Cavill has been a favorite for the role of James Bond for some time, with the actorcoming close to winning the rolefor the reboot,Casino Royale, back in 2006. No doubt many will agree with González’s feeling about Cavill and the role of Bond, but at present it’s looking like he will lose the part toKick-AssandBullet Trainstar Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
The most recent reports regarding the next 007 claim that Taylor-Johnsonhas now been offered the role, with the actor also now having the blessing of not one, but two former James Bond actorsin Pierce Brosnanand George Lazenby.
“Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back,” the mysterious sources claim. “As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”
Could The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Be Henry Cavill’s James Bond?
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a World War II film following a top-secret combat unit who were formed by Winston Churchill to hunt down Nazis. The film is directed by Guy Ritchie and based on the book The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops by Damien Lewis.
While he may not be the next James Bond, Cavill will next star as a secret agent of sorts inThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Continuing, González likened the Guy Ritchie action flick to a 007 adventure, saying it was “really not so hard” to imagine they were filming a Bond movie.
“You’re on a set staring at Henry Cavill, and you have Ian Fleming [played by Freddie Fox] sitting there in that opening scene that we have. There’s nothing cooler when you’re watching a movie and worlds collide, like you see Ian Fleming there and seeing him part of a mission, how that really transformed into what we know now as James Bond, and what came out of it, and him becoming a writer. I love that about the film.”

The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques.
