It is not easy to find the ideal actor to play a character as iconic as James Bond. Surely, all 007 fans have an actor in mind, but the work for the producers goes much further. In his hands is to ensure that the new stage of the spy is as successful or more than that of Daniel Craig, so the decision is not easy. During the last months, the name of Aaron Taylor-Johnson has sounded among the rumors as the main candidate to be James Bond. And now, it is the actor who thinks about the possibility of becoming the most famous agent in the cinema.
In interview for Vanity Fair, the Briton was questioned about the rumors involving him with the long-running franchise. According to reports, Taylor-Johnson auditioned a few months ago, and the producers of the saga were delighted with what they saw. Although they have not issued a single statement in this regard, the actor did speak about it.
“It’s flattering. You can have something really positive (written on you), but you can also have something really negative that can circulate. You just want to stay in your lane, stay grounded, be around the people you love and love you, and stay in that world. Because the moment you start believing the crap people say about you, you go crazy. You’ve lost it”.
Basically, the actor neither denies nor confirms having auditioned to play James Bond. What he does let us see is that he is aware of the rumors surrounding the matter and the possible reaction of the public. Although many have expressed their support for Taylor-Johnson on social networks, others say that he has nothing to do with the role, mainly due to his lack of a box office magnet. Although he has participated in successful productions such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla and Bullet train, In no project as a protagonist has he achieved the expected success.
For now, little is known about the actor who will become the new James Bond. After the departure of Daniel Craig, the names of Idris Elba (Beast), Henry Cavill (the man of steel), Richard Madden (Eternals) and Henry Golding (madly millionaires). The only sure thing is that the producers are looking for a younger actor who can distance himself from what Craig did. The reason? They want the chosen performer to grow and mature alongside the character, which he will play for several years.
