Henry Cavill has been officially announced as the next James Bond. He will star in the upcoming ‘007’ film directed by Denis Villeneuve.<\/p>\n
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:<\/p>\n

The account that posted the claim about the Superman actor stepping into the 007 role is clearly a parody account. This is what the post looked like at the time of writing, with the red circle added by Lead Stories showing the parody flag:<\/p>\n

Several social media accounts reposted the news without noting that it was from a parody account. One example is @MusicBaseAfrica<\/a> on Facebook (archived here<\/a>), as this screenshot taken at the time of writing shows:<\/p>\n Image source: post by @MusicBaseAfrica on Facebook.<\/p>\n Cavill’s IMDb page<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) does not list him as slated to appear in an upcoming James Bond movie, which had not been updated to reflect any such announcement as of publication time.<\/p>\n The last James Bond movie was the 2021 “No Time to Die” with Daniel Craig.<\/p>\n News of Cavill as the next James Bond would be widely reported. Lead Stories searched Google News<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) and Yahoo News<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) and did not find any credible reports of the announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Has “Superman” actor Henry Cavill been announced as the next James Bond?
