Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Bullet Train”) is the new favorite candidate for the next James Bond

Neither Idris Elba, nor Tom Holland, nor Sam Heughan: there are already many signings that have been ruled out to succeed Daniel Craig as 007 superagent, but speculations remain pending. Now, manufacturers would a new favorite candidate who surprised everyone, although in all honesty it shouldn’t surprise us all that much: Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The actor reportedly had a secret test last September, which producers, including Barbara Broccoli, particularly liked, a source told The Sun. “He’s Now a Favorite”, says the publication. Taylor-Johnson already has a wealth of experience in action films, with notable titles like “Kick-Ass.” Ready to dunk’, ‘Tenet’ and ‘Bullet Train’, as well as his next foray into superhero cinema with Sony and Marvel’s ‘Kraven the Hunter’.

One thing is clear: Taylor-Johnson and his thirty-two years old meet the age requirement they had set, which would exclude Holland as anyone under and over thirty. Plus, the actor has proven in all of his headlines that he definitely is “Bold”, an intrinsic quality to be a renowned agent. However, nothing is definitive. It is said that to get the role she would have to “kick ass” actors like Henry Cavill and Regé-Jean Page, names that have been circulating since June.

What will the new Bond be like?

The producers have emphasized that, after the triumphant and iconic passage of Daniel Craig through the saga, they intend to renew the image of James Bond: “We are reinventing who he is and that takes time”Broccoli she said. However, its most intrinsic characteristics must remain: must be male, British (not necessarily white), willing to commit to ten years and roll out the classic ‘From Russia with Love’ scene in which Bond suspects an intruder has chased him into his hotel room, only to find out in following which it is Tatiana Romanova who tries to charm him. “Whoever can get that scene done is right to play Bond” says Wilson. “It’s a Difficult Scene to Do”.
