Speculation has been rife for some time about the next incarnation of James Bond. At the top of the list? Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Recently, fans have spotted a new clue that suggests the actor who played Kraven could also take on the role of Agent 007.
Who will be the next James Bond?
In 2021, No Time To Die concluded the James Bond saga led by Daniel Craig. A final, exciting run directed by filmmaker Cary Joji Fukunaga. Since then, the license has been on hold. Especially since it was at the heart of significant administrative changes when Amazon Prime bought MGM, the iconic studio that has distributed the James Bond saga since the very beginning. Today, agent 007 is at the heart of a legal and administrative battle between several parties, including Barbara Broccoli, Amazon, and a wealthy Dubai developer named Josef Kleindienst, who recently claimed the licensing rights.
And in the midst of all this, it is still unclear who will take over the role of James Bond. It is rumored that actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is in pole position to inherit the English secret agent's costume. Now 34 years old, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the new Hollywood darling and is very present on screen. He was recently seen in Bullet Train (2022), Kraven the Hunter (2024), Nosferatu (2024), and The Fall Guy (2024). This year, he will be headlining the highly anticipated 28 Years Later
Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the new 007?
In any case, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has the build to land this coveted role. He is handsome, muscular, dark, brunette, and obviously British. He ticks all the boxes to succeed the immense Daniel Craig. Recently, a new clue has led some fans to believe that Aaron Taylor-Johnson will indeed be Daniel Craig's heir.
Indeed, Aaron Taylor-Johnson recently partnered with an iconic luxury watch brand. The brand Omega took to its Instagram account to announce its partnership with actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Since 1995, Omega has been the official brand of James Bond. Agent 007 has been wearing Omega watches in the various films of the franchise for 30 years now.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Or perhaps Omega is having fun playing with the rumors surrounding Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Bond. But that's all it took to send fans wild.
