Henry Cavill's 'Tremendous' Bond Audition Leaks Online

In a fascinating turn of events, audition tapes from 2005 for the iconic role of James Bond have surfaced online, showcasing Henry Cavill's take on 007. These clips, which appeared on the Ron South YouTube channel, run by an avid filmmaker with 1,890 subscribers, have reignited discussions about Cavill's potential as the suave spy. Alongside Cavill, auditions from Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr were also shared.

Henry Cavill's audition tapes have garnered significant attention over the years, with many fans and industry insiders, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising his performance. Campbell went as far as to call Cavill's audition "tremendous" and even expressed a preference for him over the eventual choice, Daniel Craig. However, the decision ultimately went against Cavill due to the preferences of other key decision-makers.

Despite missing out on the Bond role, Cavill has not been far from the world of espionage. He starred as the lead in the film Argylle, sharing the screen with a notable 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 impressive lineup.

Henry Cavill's career remains robust and diverse. He has taken on significant roles such as Superman in the DC universe, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher, and numerous other characters, showcasing his versatility and enduring appeal in the entertainment industry.
