Why Henry Cavill's James Bond Audition Impressed 'Casino Royale' Director

Martin Campbell, the director of Casino Royale, revealed that Henry Cavill auditioned for the role of James Bond in the 2006 franchise reboot but was considered too young at the time. Campbell praised Cavill's acting and physical appearance, saying he would have made an excellent Bond if Daniel Craig hadn't been chosen. However, at 40 years old, Cavill is now considered too old for the role. Craig starred in four Bond films, including the upcoming No Time to Die. Cavill went on to play Superman in Man of Steel and other DC films.

Former 007 Director Praises Henry Cavill's Bond Audition Despite Not Landing Role

Martin Campbell, the director of Casino Royale, has revealed that Henry Cavill's audition for James Bond was "tremendous" but he looked too young at the time. Campbell thinks Cavill missed his chance to play the iconic British superspy, but could potentially play the role now that Daniel Craig has left the franchise. However, producers are reportedly looking for someone younger, ideally in their 30s, for the next Bond movie, which is said to be a "complete reinvention" of the series.
