Henry Cavill opened up about almost beating out Daniel Craig for the role of James Bond. 'I probably wasn't ready at the time and I think Daniel did an incredible job over the past movies, so I'm happy they made that choice.'
Henry Cavill reveals that he was almost cast as James Bond, recalling how the auditions came down to just him and Daniel Craig. Last year, audiences bid goodbye to Craig's Bond after 15 years and five stand-out appearances under his belt. From his debut in 2006's Casino Royale, Craig quickly became a fan-favorite Bond for many, though No Time To Die quashed any hopes of a future reprisal of the role as Craig's final performance concluded with the first ever on-screen Bond death.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Securing the role of the suave and sophisticated 007 agent has become one of Hollywood's most-coveted achievements, and recently conversations surrounding just who will take over the role from Craig have been rife with rumor-fueled speculation.
They told me I was close. They told me it was ultimately down to, and this is what I've been told, it was just down to me and Daniel [Craig], and I was the younger option. They obviously went with Daniel and I think it was an amazing choice to go with Daniel. I probably wasn't ready at the time and I think Daniel did an incredible job over the past movies, so I'm happy they made that choice. It was a fun adventure at the time, and definitely gave me a boost to my career.
Why Henry Cavill Will Likely Not Play James Bond Cavill did not shut down speculation entirely though, as the actor continued that it would be "fun to have the conversation" about playing Bond this time. However, despite campaigns from audiences to see Cavill take over the role as Craig's successor, it's fair to say that Cavill is not likely to take on the mantle of 007 this time around either.
It's interesting to hear that Cavill came so close to playing such an iconic role, though it's undoubtedly even more interesting to hear him reflect on the entire experience now. No doubt losing the role of Bond would have been rather frustrating, though it's fair to say that it ultimately paid off for Cavill as the actor has since gone on to become a household name as the lead of another major franchise with the DCEU.
