According to recent reports, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is THE front-runner to succeed Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond. The star of “Bullet Train” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” according to insiders who talked with The Sun, allegedly had a private audition at Pinewood Studios and “impressed” Barbara Broccoli, who is in charge of running the series.

“In September, Aaron auditioned for the role of the new James Bond, and both the producers and Barbara fell in love with him “one source stated. “He is now considered to be a leading contender.

Many people, including Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and James Norton, have thrown their names into the hat for the role of the next James Bond. There has been a great deal of conjecture about this. Also, in 2021, Page Six reported that Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page was the frontrunner to succeed Daniel Craig as James Bond. A source was quoted in the article as saying, “They are talking about Regé, but Bond producers are not making any choices until after the release of No Time to D.i.e.” They are concentrating on the climactic scene involving Daniel Craig. But Henry Cavill is also still in the race; he has gained a great deal of notoriety since the time that his name was originally mentioned.

When asked about the rumors surrounding James Bond in the past, Regé-Jean responded by telling the Hollywood Reporter, “It’s got nothing to do with me—nothing to do with anything that has transpired in any rooms or any meetings.” It’s nothing more than a topic for folks to chat about in general. To put it another way, it’s flattering, but ultimately it’s just a game.
