The year is 2005 . Pierce Brosnanhangs up James Bond ’s revolverand manufacturer are on the lookout station for the next 007 . Twenty years later , we sleep with that Daniel Craig was picked and it went very , very well . He made five movies , they were all very successful , and now in 2025we’re back in the same boat . Soon , producers will be on the huntfor a newfangled James Bond .
The search for a new Bondis always a point of interestand what in reality bump behind the tantrum is rarely revealed . Or , in this case , maybe it takes 20 class . Games Radardiscovered that a YouTuber describe Ron South late upload four telecasting that very much look and sound like James Bond hearing tapes from 2005 . It ’s unclear how South grow the video so watching them does feel a little wrong but , when you do view them , one thing very much stand out . That ’s Henry Cavill .
Cavill , of course , is best do it for playingZack Snyder ’s Superman for the better part of a tenner . But , he did n’t get that function until several years after this James Bond tryout . At the meter , he was just an up - and - come doer , probably well known for 2002’sThe Count of Monte Cristoremake . And yet he , along withAvatar’sSam Worthington , HomelandandObi - Wan Kenobi’sRupert Friend , andThe Boys’Antony Starr , all tried to be James Bond at the clip , which you’re able to now see online . Here ’s a link to South ’s pagewhich , as of publication , still had the four sense of hearing on it . Below is Cavill and , after the video , we ’re gon na go into the multiverse .

Okay so , imagine for a 2nd Henry Cavill is throw away as James Bond for 2006’sCasino Royale . First of all , he does n’t encounter Zack Snyder ’s Superman so maybe someone like Charlie Cox gets that role ( which would starts a whole other set of dominos ) . Cavill is then much more noted much sooner and maybe the loveable geek that Cavill is later revealed to be — The Witcher / Warhammerguy — never comes out . But , he pose other theatrical role too , ones that elevate him beyond just James Bond because , permit ’s face it , Bond is the rarified franchise role most actors are able to break away from . Unlike , say , Superman .
But then what happen to Daniel Craig ? We ’d imagine that his career may have mirror Cavill ’s a bit more . Maybe he does n’t become a megastar for a few more years but , eventually , he would . He ’s too full not to . And after a few blockbusters , he certainly could slip into the smaller roles that he really seems to love . Or , maybe he does n’t , because he does n’t have that James Bond money to fall back on .
All in all , it ’s fascinating things to cerebrate about , especially because Cavill ’s hearing is quite unspoiled . ( We especially like the subtle eye campaign . ) What are your thoughts on this alternating reality ?
