Michael Fassbender Auditioned for James Bond but Suggested Daniel Craig to Producers: ‘I Don’t Know Why I Was Promoting Him. I Should’ve Promoted Myself’(...)
One of the biggest contenders to emerge during the audition process was Henry Cavill, although he ended up being too young for the producers’ liking. “Casino Royale” director Martin Campbell told Express UK last year that Cavill’s audition was incredible. “He looked great in the audition. His acting was tremendous,” Campbell said. “And look, if Daniel didn’t exist, Henry would have made an excellent Bond. He looked terrific, he was in great physical shape… Very handsome, very chiseled. He just looked a little young at that time back then.” https://variety.com/2025/film/news/mich ... 236336704/
