Kraven the Hunter Star Aaron Taylor-Johnson: From MCU and Spider-Verse to 007? Rumor Gains Traction of Him Signing Up as Next James Bond.
As the search for the next James Bond intensifies, speculation mounts over potential candidates. With actors like Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Jamie Dornan seemingly aging out of contention due to the prolonged selection process, attention turns to finding a successor to Daniel Craig who can commit to the role long-term.
In 2022, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson expressed the need for an actor willing to embody the iconic spy for a decade or more. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his roles in Kick-Ass, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, emerges as a fitting choice. Reports suggest he has engaged in discussions with Broccoli and Wilson about taking on the role.
Now, fresh reports from The Sun (via ActioNewz.com) suggest that Taylor-Johnson has been formally offered the coveted role. If confirmed, he is expected to join the franchise imminently, with production on the new James Bond movie slated to commence later this year.
“Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it,” a source tells the tabloid. “The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back. As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”
With production set to unfold at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, details emerge about the upcoming James Bond film. However, while the script is reportedly in development, there’s a notable absence of information regarding the writer or director.
Despite previous interest expressed by Christopher Nolan, it appears unlikely that the acclaimed filmmaker will be steering the next installment. Nolan’s packed schedule likely precludes his involvement in the project.
Another source adds, “Aaron may not be the best known in his field but he is an incredibly talented actor. His role in Nocturnal Animals showed his depth as an actor. He is the perfect person to play Bond and will pick up well from where Daniel left off.”
Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s potential as the new James Bond continues to generate buzz, particularly with his starring role in “Bullet Train.” Addressing the swirling rumours last year, Taylor-Johnson confronted speculation head-on.
“It’s flattering. You can have something really positive [written about you], but you can also have something really negative that can circulate.”
“You just want to stay in your lane, stay grounded, stay around the people that you love and love you back, and stay in that world. Because the moment you start believing the sh*t people say about you, you’ve lost your f***ing mind. You’ve lost it.”
Should the report hold any validity, an official announcement is likely imminent. While it’s wise to approach this news with a degree of scepticism, numerous reputable sources, including industry trades, are echoing the story. The accumulation of credible reports suggests there may indeed be substance to this speculation.
