We have updated James Bond news for the diehard fans…There have been a lot of names thrown around for the next James Bond, but there’s still no word when the choice will be announced. One thing we now know, however, is that it probably won’t be a young guy.

We have been seeing some posts on social media hinting at maybe Henry Cavill.
