The new James Bond role has reportedly been offered to British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, is rumored to have received an opportunity to play James Bond, the most renowned spy in MI6. According to tabloids, Taylor-Johnson has not yet officially accepted the part. Should he do so, he will become the seventh actor to play this legendary character since the start of the film series in 1962.
Prior to this, Taylor-Johnson starred in the Marvel movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015) and the dark comedic superhero movie “Kick-Ass” (2010). Daniel Craig, who has played the role five times since the 2006 Bond movie “Casino Royale,” will be replaced by him.
In the past, this position has been thought of as a means of turning unknown performers into well-known movie stars. The first Bond actor, Sean Connery, had only made a few short TV appearances prior to accepting this role and becoming well-known throughout the world.
It has been suggested that a number of well-known actors, including Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and Idris Elba, could play James Bond in the future.
Fans ranked Idris Elba as their favorite in a study by Lottoland, an online gaming company. But when this role was previously brought up, the actor seemed uninterested, especially in light of the criticism and debate surrounding his casting.
It’s intriguing that there is still discussion regarding James Bond. In my view, that stands as the predominant factor. In 2017, he stated to The New York Times, “We just want Idris Elba to play James Bond, not a black James Bond.” “That’s the part that I’m like, ‘Ugh.'”
Given that white men have historically played this role, many fans expect to see more diverse candidates. In the Lottoland poll, some people have even cast ballots for well-known actresses like Emily Blunt and Emilia Clarke.
The company behind the Bond movies, Eon Productions, is apparently working on a screenplay and getting ready to start production on a new movie.
Based on the latest updates, “Eon’s anticipation is that Aaron will finalize his contract within the imminent days, paving the way for them to commence arrangements toward a significant revelation.
