Speculation about the next James Bond continues, but there is still no official announcement about who will take over the role from Daniel Craig. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for movies like Kick-Ass and Bullet Train, remains a top contender.
When asked about his next project after finishing the horror sequel 28 Years Later, Taylor-Johnson answered, “I can’t talk about it,” and was quickly moved along. That short response has fans guessing that he might be the next Bond. Some even point to his recent partnership with Omega, the official Bond watchmaker, as a possible sign.
This only added to the rumors, especially since he has support from former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan. Even though nothing has been confirmed, Amazon now controls the 007 series and is said to be moving fast with plans to start filming next year. It looks like the wait to find out who will play Bond may finally be coming to an end.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is not the only name in the mix. Aaron Pierre, a Black actor who is slated to star in the series Lanterns, is also rumored to be under consideration for the role. The franchise, now under Amazon’s creative control, is reportedly moving quickly with the next film, but nothing has been confirmed.
While fans wait for news, Taylor-Johnson is starring in 28 Years Later, a new horror film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. The movie follows a group of survivors nearly three decades after the rage virus outbreak, with Taylor-Johnson joined by Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes, and others. The film has received strong reviews, with one critic calling it “a Horror Masterpiece that Shatters Already High Expectations.” Our reviewer was not that impressed.
For now, the future of James Bond remains a guessing game.
