Aaron Taylor Johnson Responds To Next James Bond Actor Frontrunner Rumors

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT James Bond frontunner Aaron Taylor-Johnson dances around the 007 conversation in a new interview, and it's still entirely unclear whether he will be playing the role or not. After first joining the franchise in 2006 with Casino Royale, Daniel Craig bid farewell to Bond in 2021's No Time To Die.

In a recent interview with Esquire, Taylor-Johnson very indirectly discusses his James Bond odds and neither confirms nor denies anything regarding his possible involvement in the casting process. Instead, he expresses that his sole focus right now is on his Kraven the Hunter film. "It's not really for me to say anything," Taylor-Johnson says when pressed about Bond.

Will Aaron Taylor-Johnson Be The Next James Bond? While Taylor-Johnson's latest comments do little to clear up his ongoing Bond casting rumors, the actor, notably, doesn't deny them outright. His somewhat vague answers and repeated statements regarding focusing only on what is right in front of him could suggest, simply, that conversations regarding 007 are ongoing for him. If no decision has been made regarding the role yet by Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.

Taylor-Johnson's comment about Cavill is also very interesting. Cavill was, at one point, considered for Casino Royale but was deemed too young, but, since Craig's farewell, the Man of Steel actor has once again become a popular choice. Taylor-Johnson could have simply been trying to evade the issue entirely and divert attention elsewhere, but he may also know more than he's letting on about Cavill's chances and discussions that are possibly going on behind the scenes.

Ultimately, however, nothing is official regarding the next James Bond and Taylor-Johnson's comments only create more questions. Even the rumor that started it all, that Taylor-Johnson had a productive meeting with Broccoli about the role earlier this year, has not been confirmed, with James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams saying back in April that serious talks about Craig's replacement hadn't even started.
