Henry Cavill's 'Tremendous' Bond Audition Leaks Online

Recently surfaced James Bond audition tapes from 2005 have captured the internet's attention, showcasing Henry Cavill's take on the iconic 007 character before he was ultimately outshone by Daniel Craig. These intriguing clips were shared on the Ron South YouTube channel, run by an enthusiastic filmmaker with a modest following of 1,890 subscribers. The channel also featured auditions from other notable actors such as Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr.

Among these, Henry Cavill's performance has garnered significant interest over the years. Many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, have praised Cavill's audition, describing it as "tremendous." Campbell even admitted to favoring Cavill for the role, but the final decision favored Daniel Craig due to preferences from other key decision-makers.

Despite missing out on the Bond role, Cavill has since embraced the spy genre in the film Argylle, where he starred alongside a talented ensemble including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Unfortunately, Argylle did not meet critical expectations, receiving a disappointing 4/10 from IGN despite its impressive cast.

Henry Cavill's career remains diverse and robust, with standout roles such as Superman in the DC universe, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and numerous other acclaimed performances.
