Ever since the exit of Daniel Craig from his superhit series, James Bond, there has been a single question in everyone’s head who will replace Craig to be the new 007 agent? The names of several celebrities have come forward but it looks like there is a clear winner and that is Aaron Taylor-Johnson. After severe competition with superhit actors, it appears as the Bullet Train star might soon play the character of the most famous detective across the globe.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson Was Rumored To Be Out Of James Bond’s Race
Though there have been reports that the Nowhere Boy star might possibly take the role of James Bond. There have been some shocking recent updates claiming that Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s name has already been dropped for the possible representation of James Bond. In a recent podcast that featured John Rocha and Jack Sneider, Sneider presented some strong arguments which hinted at the departure of the Outlaw King star from the race for Daniel Craig’s replacement.
“Here’s the one I heard today that was interesting. Less of a scoop other than just a ray of hope, maybe. I’ve heard Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s not a lock for Bond. I don’t think it’s right for him. It’s not that I don’t think he’d make a good Bond, but I don’t know if he needs it”
Aaron Taylor-Johnson Might Soon Replace Daniel Craig
With the recent updates claiming the exit of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the name of Henry Cavill resurfaced as the next James Bond. Cavill has already been struggling in his professional life as he continues to lose hit roles in DCU and The Witcher. Thus it is even more important for Cavill to grab the role of James Bond, in an effort to save his drowning career. Apart from Henry Cavill, names of other prominent celebrities such as Tom Hardy have also appeared in the news.
The latest updates though have denied the exit of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and contrary to the prior report it claims that The King’s Man actor is speculated to be fit for the role as he meets all the requirements of the makers. Hinting at the reason, the report claimed that the makers were looking for someone below the age of 40, to carry the franchise in the long run. Tom Hardy has already crossed the age of 40 whereas the Man of Steel star is currently 39 and will soon turn 40. Aaron Taylor-Johnson on the other hand will take his sweet time to enter his forties.
It looks like Aaron Taylor-Johnson may soon appear in the shoes of James Bond. The Bullet Train star has already been delivering commercial hits at the box office in recent times and has proven himself as a talented actor. Keeping in mind the rumored requirements of the makers for the James Bond show, fans believe that there can be no perfect fit other than Aaron Taylor-Johnson to play the role of James Bond.
