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

Henry Cavill's 2005 James Bond audition tapes have surfaced online, offering a glimpse into what could have been. The footage, appearing on the Ron South YouTube channel—belonging to a filmmaker with 1,890 subscribers—also includes auditions from Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr. While all are interesting, Cavill's audition has garnered significant attention over the years, with many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising his performance as "tremendous." Campbell reportedly favored Cavill, but ultimately, other producers chose Daniel Craig. Cavill later fulfilled his spy ambitions in Argylle, though the film, despite a star-studded cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara, received a lukewarm reception (4/10 from IGN). Cavill continues to enjoy a successful and diverse career, notably portraying Superman for DC and Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher.
