In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, Tom Hiddleston opened up about saying goodbye to his role as Loki. The series came to an end after two intense seasons and left fans in a daze. During his time on Happy Sad Confused, he was asked how he would feel if he was given the role of James Bond. Much to everyone’s surprise, instead of losing his mind at playing the thrilling spy, the actor said that it would be “terrifying.”
Along with the question of playing the spy, Hiddleston was also asked about the possibility of starring in a Broadway musical. While that seemed to get a laugh out of the actor, he went on to agree that a James Bond musical would “absolutely” be “too terrifying” for him to even think of. Although the host and he were just cracking jokes, the spy world is restless without an actor at the moment.
In fact, there are two actors that the world seems to think deserve the title of OO7. They are Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor Johnson.
Who deserves the James Bond title: Henry Cavill or Aaron Taylor Johnson?

So far, according to reports from The Express, it seems that the top contenders for the role are Henry Cavill and Aaron Taylor Johnson. While they have nothing in common, they bring their own plus points to the table. However, with the Superman actor having prior commitments with Argylle, it could cause a delay in filming.

With Johnson, fans could get a new take on a classic spy. Given the work he has done in Bullet Train and The King’s Man, he could pave the way to a new genre of spy thrillers. However, there has been no confirmation over who has been chosen or will be moving forward as of now. In fact, the actor was even asked about it, but he did not confirm or deny the rumors.
