Henry Cavill was just 22 when he tried out for the iconic film role of James Bond, ultimately losing out to the latest Bond actor Daniel Craig

Bond 26's potential future could be a bit brighter with Henry Cavill as a potential face.

Henry Cavill auditioned for James Bond 20 years ago and lost the role to Daniel Craig due to his young age. The director reportedly preferred Cavill's audition, but the producer, Barbara Broccoli, preferred Craig. Cavill could be the next James Bond; he fits the requirements and is already in his 40s.
