Whoever is playing the new James Bond certainly has a huge hole to fill. In recent months, rumors have emerged about the actors who could play the new version of 007; was mentioned to Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill and many others, even the producers of the saga affirmed that it would not be a young actor. Now it is reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the leading candidate to play the iconic James Bond in the coming years. How did everything happen?
according to some insiders, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, producers of the saga, have held some auditions to find the new 007. According to what is known, Taylor-Johnson went to Pinewood Studios in September to film a secret camera test. The results were spectacular. And it is that according to the words of the insiders (via the sun):
“The producers and Barbara loved it. He is now one of the leading candidates.”
Fortunately, fans of the character don’t have much to worry about. Taylor-Johnson already has an interesting track record in several action movies. At the beginning of the last decade he drew public attention for his appearances in kick ass and its sequel. In 2014 she starred in the reboot of Godzilla alongside Elizabeth Olsen, while the following year he joined the MCU as Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron. We recently saw it on Tenet, and like the violent “Mandarina” in Bullet train. For many, their participation was the best in that film.
Age is another aspect that could help you play Bond. His 32 years position him as an ideal option if we take into account that each installment in the saga takes at least 3 years to be released. A few months ago, producer Michael G. Wilson clarified for Deadline why it is better to have an actor of that age to bring the character to life.
“Bond is already a veteran. He has had some experience. He is a person who has been through several wars, so to speak. He’s probably been in the SAS (Special Air Service) or something. He’s not some kind of student you can bring in to start over. That’s why it works for someone in their thirties.”.
For now, it’s best not to wait for confirmation on Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the new James Bond. no time to dieDaniel Craig’s last film in the character, hit theaters a year ago, so it’s still early to develop a reboot in the proper way.
