The search for the next actor to play James Bond may have come to a close. Rumors suggest Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his love of intense fight scenes, has been offered the iconic role. This news sparked excitement on March 19, just before the release of Taylor-Johnson's upcoming film Kraven. The British spy agency has been searching for a successor to Daniel Craig, who played the role from 2006 to 2021. Idris Elba, Regé-Jean Page, and Tom Hardy were other actors considered for the part, but Elba withdrew after facing racist backlash. When asked about the James Bond role, Taylor-Johnson did not provide a clear answer, but instead spoke about his upcoming projects. He has a lot on his plate.
