Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill continues to be linked to 007, but he's already been rejected once.

After Pierce Brosnan's exit following 2002's Die Another Day, producers were on the hunt for the next James Bond, and the Man of Steel star was in the running.

He actually got down to the final two with Daniel Craig, who made his debut as the super spy in 2006's Casino Royale after bosses decided to cast a more experienced actor.

Cavill previously told the Happy Sad Confused podcast: "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, and I was the younger option."
