Henry Cavill’s Near Miss as James Bond Revealed by Director Matthew Vaughn

Renowned actor Henry Cavill, best known for portraying Superman in “Man of Steel,” was on the brink of becoming the iconic James Bond in the early 2000s, according to recent revelations by director Matthew Vaughn.

In a candid interview on SiriusXM, Vaughn, the creative mind behind “Argylle,” shared intriguing insights into the audition process that unfolded at Pinewood Studios. Cavill, a rising star, was a strong contender for the coveted Bond role, which eventually went to Daniel Craig.

Vaughn recounted the moment, stating, “While Henry was auditioning for Bond, I was at Pinewood, right? And Daniel was as well at the same time. I’d go off and meet with Daniel and [I’d] say what’s going on, and he said there’s this young guy, Henry Cavill, I think they’re seeing as well [for the auditions].”

The suspense escalated as Vaughn revealed, “It got down to the last two for Bond… And I know that the director preferred your audition. But [producer] Barbara [Broccoli] preferred [Craig]. So, just so you know, and they decided you were too young.”

While Henry Cavill didn’t delve extensively into the topic, he graciously acknowledged Daniel Craig’s success in the iconic role. “He and everyone else involved breathed new life into the franchise, which did wonders,” Cavill admitted.

This revelation adds a fascinating chapter to the behind-the-scenes stories of the James Bond franchise, highlighting the close call Henry Cavill had with taking on the mantle of 007.
