Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who is known for his roles in Bullet Train and the MCU, has met with James Bond producer, Barbara Broccoli, for the iconic role.

Be sure to stay tuned to Collider for updates on the James Bond casting. Both movies will be out before the next Bond movie starts filming; Kraven the Hunter is set to release on October 6, 2023, and The Fall Guy is slated for March 1, 2024. Despite the fact Taylor-Johnson checks all the boxes, Puck News explains there is also a risk that the actor might become too famous to play James Bond because of the next two films he is set to topline, Kraven the Hunter and The Fall Guy. Taylor-Johnson's Pietro had an uncredited cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, before moving on to a more significant role in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He’s a person who has been through the wars, so to speak. Following Daniel Craig's exit as the Martini-loving spy, the actor was said to be one of the candidates under consideration to take up the mantle.

Luther star Elba, 50, has long been tipped to replace Daniel Craig, however he has attempted to quash the rumours, saying to Event: “Bond is one of the biggest franchises in the world, and for that reason, whoever ends up playing it, lives it. However, in 2016 he told fans that “your guess is as good as mine, to be honest”. Fassbender, 45, is one of the favourites to play 007, even though he has ruled himself out as he thinks a younger actor or a woman should take on the role. The Outlander star has previously said he would like to bring Bond back to Scotland for the first time since Sean Connery’s stint as 007. Peaky Blinders star Murphy said he is “flattered” by speculation that he could become the next James Bond.
