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.

Or the one who's played Superman in the last few movies. But they should really shoot for a Brit for the role.
lol
What are you talking about. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is now considered one of the top five Bond films. It’s the closest to the novel. Lazenby is now considered someone who would have gone to be a great Bond if he wouldn’t have listened to his hippie agent talking him out of a 7 film contract.. I thought he did pretty good for someone who never acted before following in Connery’s footsteps.
The Witcher guy is Henry Cavill. Same guy who’s played Superman in recent years. He lost out to Daniel Craig for Casino Royale.
Is this the new gay transgender non binary Bond?
No!
Personal life
After Johnson met filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood in 2009 on the set of their film Nowhere Boy, when he was 18 and she was 42,[30] the two began dating and were married in the chapel at Babington House on 21 June 2012.[31] They subsequently changed their surnames to Taylor-Johnson.[32] They have two daughters, while he is the stepfather of her two daughters from a previous marriage.[33]
Taylor-Johnson was named one of GQ’s 50 best dressed British men in 2015.[34]
I liked him in Bullet Train with Brad Pitt. Grisly fun. Its on Netflix
He is too old now but in his prime I always felt that Sam Neill would have made an excellent Bond
If you haven’t and you can get a copy of the entire series, Sam Neill played Riley Ace of spies. I think it was about eight episodes. Excellent
take it you gotta problem w/ soi
keep those dumbasses far away from firearms
Ponder this: the total badass actor’s High School sport was ... Drama Club
He is wearing 2 earrings.... He does not look tough.
Neither one married for looks...!

Unlike Macron, he does have two daughters with the lady. Got on it right away, so to speak.
You forgot to mention Dr. Strange, who has defeated powerful villains at several previously unknown bus stops on the Multiverse route.
Knew that; was just yanking his chain a little. Note the "lol". And Cavill IS British, just drops the accent so well for his roles.
I’ve seen all the Bond movies except the last one. A new streak is about to begin.
He’s very down to Earth as Dr. Strange, plays the role well without coming off as an autist ghost like he did in Sherlock.
I didn’t see Dr. Strange. I pretty much got tired of super hero movies, wondering if Hollywood could come up with another theme.
