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's channel 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 "tremendous" quality. Campbell reportedly favored Cavill, but ultimately, other decision-makers opted for Daniel Craig. While Cavill didn't secure the Bond role, he later starred in the spy thriller Argylle, though the film received mixed reviews. His career continues to flourish with notable roles as Superman for DC, Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher, and various other projects.
