Aaron Taylor Johnson Emerges as James Bond Frontrunner Leaving Behind Henry Cavill After Meeting With the Producer

The hunt for the next James Bond is still going on. Fans continue pitching their
favorites, like Tom Hardy, Regé-Jean Page, and Henry Cavill
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill]. Aaron Taylor Johnson seems closer
to bagging the role of a lifetime. Until 2021 Daniel Craig played the brilliant
spy 007. After the last entry, No Time to Die, he stepped down from the series.
Since then, several reports and rumors about the next James Bond have made the
news. But the makers have already stated that the next Bond movie will not go
into development for the next two years. Heck, they do not even have a script! 

But if the reports about the Marvel star’s meeting with Bond’s producer is true,
we are inching closer to a new Bond era.


AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON RECENTLY HAD A CHAT WITH BARBARA BROCCOLI

According to Puck News
[https://puck.news/23-semi-surefire-hollywood-predictions-predicaments-and-preoccupations-for-2023/],
the Kick-Ass actor recently had a meeting with the Bond producer, Barbara
Broccoli. And it reportedly went “well”. Aaron Taylor Johnson fits the bill (or
should we rather say the suit?) perfectly. He is British, 32 years old, and has
a resume that boasts some really brilliant work in the industry. The fact that
he is not exactly super famous means the actor will not overshadow the 007
characters.

Johnson is mainly known for starring in Kick-Ass, Anna Karenina, Nocturnals, and
the most recent Bullet Train. He was also part of the Marvel fold playing Pietro
Maximoff, Scarlet Witch’s brother. He has two new projects lined up – Kraven The
Hunter and The Fall Guy. Although he has not attained superstardom yet, his
headlining projects might change that.

Meanwhile, The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] fans are
still manifesting hard for Henry Cavill to play the spy. The last time he
auditioned for the role, the producers had picked Daniel over him because of his
young age. Emily in Paris’ actor Lucien Laviscount has also recently entered the
competition. Nevertheless, nothing is confirmed yet. But the odds for Johnson
have certainly increased.


ODDS ARE IN FAVOR OF AARON FOR CINCHING THE BOND ROLE

If his meeting with Broccoli made him frontrunner for the iconic spy’s role,
then recent news shows his chances of becoming the next James Bond have
increased significantly. As per Express, Johnson allegedly had a screen-testing
for the role recently. This has resulted in the bookies having the Kick-Ass
actor at 4-5 odds, while bringing down Cavill to 7-2.

This news comes in the heel of rumors about The Witcher actor possibly taking up
the role of a Bond villain
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-henry-cavill-might-join-the-james-bond-franchise-but-not-as-the-famous-007-detective/].
While the new isn’t confirmed, it would seem the 39-year-old is losing his
chances at the career-changing role. This will not affect the actor much,
however, who has a couple of spy movies in his kitty.
