Just one guy's opinion but I think there is a question mark over Cavill's ability to be suitably charismatic on screen. On the other hand, Daniel Craig is more of a blunt Bond than a charismatic one and the audience accept that approach. I don't think future Bond actors have to be overtly charismatic.
I disagree and not only as the fangirl I am. I believe, DC is known as being very charismatic with a huge on screen presense. So I doubt, you can compare those two.
Cavill is in the league of Sam Worthington and Kitsch.
Craig is extremely charismatic? That's one of his key strengths. Cavill isn't as talented as Craig in the the acting department. But charisma is again one of his strengths. His turn as Napolean Solo is all about charisma! He made made it to the final 2 for the Bond role in 2005 based on.......charisma within the screen tests, I would imagine.
I'm pretty sure that the film studios and producers who made him a millionaire count. They obviously see this in him.
But its ok, if you see it in him, thats fine.

Hiddleston is a stand out contender for the Bond role and has everything required to make 007 much more Flemingesque.
He can even wear a suit without looking like he's going to burst a button!
She was a Bond girl in BvS and Batfleck was Bond, including tuxedo and Aston Martin. It's that simple!
'And then there were none' is the go to series for every aspiring 'Aiden Turner for Bond' advocate :)
It's a 3 hour bbc series, 3 episodes, which are also self contained. So its more like a tv movie in three parts
Are you serious? You rate Cavill as a better ACTOR than Reeve? Or did you mean you prefer 'his' Superman to Reeve's...
Christopher Reeve deliberately UNDERplayed (more tricky than it looks, ie. often the mark of a good actor when it's done right without being wooden) the part of Superman - whilst 'over'playing Clark Kent - which was a purely creative decision on his part, to highlight the duality of the character.
Trust me, Reeve could act alright - even if you didn't see it :>
After BvS it's clear that Supes should stay dead.
At least after this fiasco, Cavill is definitely out of the race for possible Bond.
Both. Yes, I rate Cavill as a better ACTOR than Reeve.
He's definitely a contender.
Horses for courses, I guess... d'you rate Kilmer's Bat' above Bale's as well then? :D
It's a similar kind of chasm in acting ability.
I personally rate George Reeves above them all. The first season from 1951, IMO is THE way you do a dark Superman. Those half hour episodes are like mini film noir B-movies. All done with a low budget, solid writing and great actors who had worked for years in those kind of noir movies. The animated Batman episodes from the '90s had that noir feel as well.
George was tough -the Connery of Superman. Case in point: classic moment in Superman II when Chris Reeve gives up his powers to be with Lois, goes to a diner and picks a fight with, and then gets slaughtered by the local truck driver bully. MoS had an homage to that scene. In the film noir 1951 season, had George been in the same situation-his powerless Superman would have whipped the guy, but maybe got a few scrapes in the process. The diner would have looked like the one Humphrey Bogart gets harrassed by the cop in DARK PASSAGE, and the powerless Superman would come off like Robert Mitchum in OUT OF THE PAST. George Reeves was that kind of actor.
Getting back to Bond- I wouldn't be completely against Cavill, but he's still far from convincing me he'd be a great 007. I don't really want the next Bond to be quite that beefy.
Fine if you like your 007's tepid and bland, but I don't, thanks v much.
Rating him above someone like Reeve who could actually act and had Juilliard stagecraft sensibilities just reeks of poor judgement, I'm afraid.
This is the old 'Beatles vs Coldplay' debate - just because you like Coldplay more does not mean their craft is better.
