Leaked 2005 James Bond audition tapes featuring Henry Cavill have surfaced online. The footage, appearing on the Ron South YouTube channel, also includes auditions from Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr.
Games Radar reports that Cavill's audition has garnered significant attention, with many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising his performance. Campbell reportedly considered Cavill "tremendous" and his preferred choice, but the final decision went to Daniel Craig.
While Cavill missed out on Bond, he later starred in the spy thriller Argylle, alongside a star-studded cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara. Despite the impressive cast, the film received poor critical reception, scoring only a 4/10 on IGN.
Cavill's career continues to thrive, encompassing iconic roles such as Superman for DC and Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher.
