Henry Cavill's 2005 James Bond audition tapes have surfaced online, offering a glimpse into what could have been. Shared by the Ron South YouTube channel, an avid filmmaker with 1,890 subscribers, the tapes also feature auditions from Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend, and Anthony Starr. Cavill's audition, however, has garnered significant attention over the years, with many, including Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, praising its quality. Campbell reportedly considered Cavill "tremendous," but ultimately, other decision-makers favored Daniel Craig for the role. 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, Argylle received mixed reviews. Cavill's career continues to thrive, with notable roles as Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and numerous other projects.
