Henry Cavill’s 2005 James Bond Audition Goes Viral Online
Can you imagine Henry Cavill as James Bond? He’s certainly handsome enough for it, and it sounds like it almost happened!
Daniel Craig was a terrific James Bond. Honestly, probably my favorite. He brought something different to the role that was refreshing and bad ass. However, it sounds like the role could have gone to Henry Cavill who definitely looks the part. Now, thanks to the audition tape that’s going viral online we can all see that he doesn’t just look the part–he would have been an excellent 007. In fact, it sounds like Casino Royale direct Martin Campbell may have even favored Cavill for the role but was out-voted by the top brass. In a way, it’s good because we got Daniel Craig as our James Bond, but now we’re all left wondering what could have been if Henry Cavill was in the role. Check out the viral audition that’s making waves online below.
Henry Cavill James Bond Audition Tape Goes Viral
Well, pretty cool, eh? He could have been excellent in the role playing James Bond. According to the caption on the YouTube video, this tape was from a VHS found in a recycling bin at a movie studio. How crazy is that? You’re telling me we were still using VHS tapes when Daniel Craig took over as James Bond? What?! I guess Casino Royale did come out in 2006, I would have guessed a few years later. Now I’m feeling old!
It’s currently been rumored that Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be the next James Bond but a few other names have been floating out there as well. Who would you like to see play 007?
5 Highly Anticipated Movies Coming Out In 2025
There are some big movies coming out in 2025! Which ones are you most excited about?
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to start looking ahead. Some big movies came out in 2024 including Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, Wicked, and Gladiator II. Those are probably some of the most memorable movies to come out this year and might be what the year is remembered for as far as blockbusters are concerned. Movies coming out in 2025 might be even bigger and more anticipated than the ones that came out in 2024–and that’s really saying something.
What Are The Big Movies Coming Out In 2025?
In 2025, we’ll see some outstanding originals, sequels, live-action remakes, animated movies, and more! There are some big things coming to the big screen–not to mention all the excitement coming to TV and streaming. The 5th and final season of Stranger Things is going to have us all on Netflix, but we’ll have to make sure to find some time to go to the movie theater as well because you don’t want to miss out on these movies. They’ll certainly be the talk at the watercooler and it’s important you stay in the know.
With only 5 to discuss below I’ll have to name some Honorable Mentions because there are too many great movies coming out in 2025 and I’d hate to leave any unmentioned. A Minecraft Movie will be interesting to see how it can compare to Barbie and if these movies based on toys will continue to be a hit or if it was a one-time fluke. With Jason Momoa and Jack Black it’s sure to bring in some money in the box office.
Thunderbolts is one of the many superhero movies coming out in 2025. Marvel has been in a bit of a dry spell lately, will this be enough to bring them out of a slump? Only time will tell. There’s another superhero movie that seems to be getting more attention and we’ll get to that later. There will be a new Karate Kid with Karate Kid: Legends coming out in 2025. There’s also Ballerina from the world of John Wick and stars Ana de Armas and I will certainly be seeing that.
Additionally, in 2025, we’re going to get a live action version of How to Train Your Dragon and those animated films are all great so I expect big things from this. There will also be a new Jurassic World movie with Jurassic World Rebirth, hopefully that can bring some juice back into the franchise. The last movie wasn’t great so a good rebound is in order here for the sake of the franchise. We’ll also be getting a new I Know What You Did Last Summer and Freakier Friday, too! Then, you can’t forget Wicked Part 2 with Wicked: For Good coming out in November of 2025.
However, the movies I think will be biggest can be found below. Are you excited to see these movies coming out in 2025?
Disney's Snow White
It will be interesting to see the live action remake of Snow White. I’ve been iffy on a lot of the Disney live action remakes with seemingly none of them being better than the original. Could this finally be the one? We’ll have to wait and see but I think we’ll be hearing a lot about it in the new year. It hits theaters March 21st.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
Regardless of how you feel about Tom Cruise, you have to admit these movies are always good. It’s not even about him doing his own stunts, which is cool, but they’re consistently quality films. I hope they bring it to a close in a good way. I was disappointed with how the recent James Bond movies ended and would hate to see this go a similar way. The movie comes out in May.
28 Years Later
You’re going to see a lot of Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the future. Not only is he Kraven The Hunter but he’s also set to be the next James Bond. He’ll also be starring in 28 Years Later the sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Those were some good movies and I expect this to be great. The movie comes out June 20th.
Superman
I’ve never been that impressed by Superman movies. In fact, I usually feel pretty let down. It’s a bit of a bummer especially when you compare it to Batman and Spider-Man which both have plenty of excellent movies made recently. Could James Gunn turn things around? I feel like Superman needs it and maybe we’ll get new life into the Man Of Steel with this new movie. I certainly hope so. It comes out July 11th.
Avatar: Fire and Ash
Finally, Avatar 3 will come out in 2025. I feel like we’re always waiting forever for these sequels but you can’t say it’s not worth the wait. Who knows what kind of visual craziness we will experience in Avatar: Fire and Ash but I’m sure it will be great. Now it’s just a matter of waiting. It comes out December 19th of 2025.
