Speculations about Daniel Craig’s successor have been rife for three years now. In “No Time To Die” he was seen for the last time as James Bond. Now it seems a favorite is emerging for the role of MI6 agent. If a British tabloid has its way, Aaron Taylor-Johnson currently has the best chance of playing the world-famous secret agent in the service of Her Majesty in the next 007 film.
“He’s one of the front runners now”
The 32-year-old actor is said to have convinced Bond producer Barbara Broccoli in particular during a secret audition at Pinewood Studios. “Aaron did a screen test in September to become the next Bond, and the producers and Barbara loved him,” quotes the “Sun” as an anonymous source: “He’s now one of the frontrunners.” This has not yet been officially confirmed. The only thing that is certain is that those responsible have not yet made a decision. If you take a look at the rumor mill, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has some notable competition. Among others, Tom Hardy, James Norton and Idris Elba are said to be in the running for the iconic role; Henry Cavill and Regé Jean-Page are also repeatedly mentioned as possible actors.
