Henry Cavill's 'Tremendous' Bond Audition Leaked Online

In a fascinating glimpse into alternate casting history, audition tapes from 2005 featuring Henry Cavill's take on James Bond have surfaced online. These previously unseen auditions, which appeared on the Ron South YouTube channel, have reignited discussions about who could have been the iconic 007. The channel, run by an avid filmmaker with 1,890 subscribers, also showcased auditions from other notable actors such as Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr.

Among these, Henry Cavill's performance has drawn significant attention over the years. Many fans and industry insiders, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, have expressed their belief that Cavill would have been an excellent James Bond. Campbell himself praised Cavill's audition as "tremendous" and reportedly favored him for the role. However, the decision ultimately went in favor of Daniel Craig, as preferred by other key decision-makers.

Despite missing out on the 007 role, Cavill has not been far from the world of espionage. He recently starred as the lead in the film Argylle, alongside a talented ensemble cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O'Hara. Unfortunately, Argylle did not fare well with critics, receiving a disappointing 4/10 from IGN despite its star-studded lineup.

Henry Cavill's career remains diverse and robust, with notable roles such as Superman in the DC universe, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and many other acclaimed performances. His journey in the film industry continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
