Cavill's Bond Audition Surfaces Online

Leaked 2005 James Bond audition tapes surface online, showcasing Henry Cavill's impressive performance. The footage, discovered on the Ron South YouTube channel, also features 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 "tremendous" performance. Campbell reportedly favored Cavill, but ultimately, other producers opted for Daniel Craig.

While Cavill missed out on the iconic Bond role, 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 ensemble, the film received mixed reviews, scoring a mere 4/10 on IGN.

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