He may already have one of the most sought-after parts in Hollywood playing Superman, but it seems Henry Cavill has got his eye on another iconic film role.
The actor has thrown his hat in the ring to take over as James Bond, as rumours continue to swirl that Daniel Craig will not return for a fifth outing as the British spy.

Speaking on 'The Graham Norton Show', Henry said that if there was any possibility he could be 007, he would take it, having lost out the first time round when Daniel landed the part in 2005.
“Obviously I’m very busy with the Superman stuff but if there were any windows and they wanted me to do that kind of role it would be great and I would love to do it,” he said.
Asked if it seems greedy to be both Superman and James Bond, he joked: “Greedy or awesome?”

However, Henry may have a problem juggling his schedule, as he's already signed up to reprise his role as Superman in the forthcoming 'Justice League' films.
He also revealed that he has been training even harder to get in shape for the next two instalments in the DC comics universe.

Speaking about current film 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice', he said: “Getting fit for the movie has set me my goals for 'Justice League' – I need to get to that look or better for the new movie. It’s a lot of work!”
Asked if he keeps in condition between films, he added: “No. Absolutely not!
"There is so much that goes into it that if I didn’t have my off season moments and relax I’d be a crazy person come the next movie.”
Aiden Turner, Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston have all been linked to the role of James Bond, after Daniel Craig previously said he'd "rather slash his wrists" than play him again.
'The Graham Norton Show' airs on Friday (25 March) at 10.35pm on BBC One.

The first red-headed James Bond?

So many people have asked him about it, Idris will no longer discuss the subject. But while Pierce Brosnan remarked Bond boss Barbara Broccoli wouldn't be happy with a Black Bond, she told HuffPostUK, "I don't know what Pierce is talking about."
Tom Hardy(03 of14)

Arguably too rugged for the corridors of Westminster where James Bond has to defend his actions, but very, very popular.
Chiwetel Ejiofor(04 of14)

Another actor who's been asked so many times, now he just smiles when asked.
Tom Hiddleston(05 of14)

If pouting were all that is required, Tom Hiddleston would go straight to Vauxhall Bridge.
Clive Owen(06 of14)

Has proved he has the required steeliness in any number of big screen roles, but success Stateside might make him no longer willing to commit.
Douglas Booth(07 of14)

No gun or martial arts skills required, he can just look at them, and wait for submission.
John Boyega(08 of14)

What the 'Star Wars' star may lack in stature, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm and appeal. Although the Bond villains might just want to cuddle him.
Taron Egerton(09 of14)

Proved his action hero chops in 'Kingsman: Secret Service' and signing him now would mean Barbara Broccoli and co wouldn't have to worry again for at least a decade.
Michael Fassbender(10 of14)

Like Pierce Brosnan, Irish charm could help the 'Steve Jobs' star int the role.

Who, you ask? Set to play Prince Albert against Jenna Coleman in the forthcoming 'Victoria' TV series, Tom has already proven himself a master of espionage in 'The Game' and 'Page Eight', both on TV. When not if he gets the call, don't say we didn't give you the heads up...
