Henry Cavill's 'Tremendous' James Bond Audition Seemingly Appears Online

Newly surfaced 2005 James Bond audition tapes showcase Henry Cavill's impressive take on 007, predating Daniel Craig's casting.

Games Radar reports that several audition tapes, including those of Cavill, Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr, were uploaded to the Ron South YouTube channel, maintained by a filmmaker with a modest subscriber base.

Cavill's audition has garnered significant attention, with many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising his performance. Campbell reportedly favored Cavill but ultimately, the decision makers opted for Craig.

Cavill later fulfilled his spy aspirations in "Argylle," a film featuring a star-studded cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite the impressive cast, the film received unfavorable reviews, scoring a mere 4/10 on IGN.

Cavill's career continues to thrive, with notable roles as Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's "The Witcher," and numerous other projects.
