A popular British actor has reportedly already been offered the role of being the next James Bond - taking over from Daniel Craig.
None other than Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is said to have been the favourite choice for movie bosses after thousands of avid fans of the 007 franchise had put their money on Idris Elba taking over the iconic role from Craig, who last starred as the iconic spy in 2021's No Time To Die.
Elsewhere, Cillian Murphy insisted last week that he's 'too old' to play the role, shooting down feverish excitement surrounding the Oscar-winning star becoming the next 007. The Irish actor, 47, was reportedly top of film bosses lists after his incredible portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, Oppenheimer.

LOL!!!
He looks like he prefers men....the women scenes may be difficult for him
That’s the one where Blofeld plots destruction of the world beer industry.
From Alfie Solomons to James Bond.
should be Tom hardy...
Yes Cumberbach has played a vast number of roles. He is a veteran theater actor among other things. His list of productions is rather formidable.
He was in Warhorse and 1917 if you want another type of character.
He can certainly do the “brutality” part of Ian Flemings character. And he does look the part, as described by Fleming.
Never heard of him before this.
The one Bond film I loathe. Lazenby was AWFUL. Stiff, awkward, yet somehow smarmy and pretentious. Smooth wasn’t in his repertoire AT ALL.
His voice was also less-than-pleasant.
Yeah, I’ll NOPE RIGHT OUT of Lazenby.
Use an AI Connery fake.
I had only heard of him because he is married to a woman 23 years older than him, and is a director.
I actually hated Bond movies *until* Daniel Craig got the role. They were always way too silly for me. I love all of the Craig movies except the last, but I know he was tired of the role at that point and allowed them to backslide to some of the old silliness. Skyfall is one of my all-time favorite movies.
IT'S ANOTHER BLOODBATH!
It’s certainly a weird fad. Makes me think they’re probably controlled.
No one is. Nor ever will be. The one and only 007.
“Benedict Cumberbatch.”
My choice!!!!
Dwayne ‘the rock’ Johnson would be best.

You're 100% right.
But I can write a script. But it'll never get approved in Hollywood today. James Bond is too much of a womanizer. Way too masculine. Which is unacceptable.
In other words, James Bond does not survive in this world. Our culture that produced James Bond no longer exists today.
They can replace Sean Connery, kinda, but they’ll never find a successor to Honor Blackman.
