He does nothing for me; he's no Sean Connery.

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.

No confirmation from Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, Alberts daughter.
Who needs James Bond when we’ve got Daryl Dixon.
Wait, what happened to their plans for a black female?
He does nothing for me; he's no Sean Connery.
“Kick Ass!”
Will the next Bond be a full on faggot? A real ‘player’ going from one butt to the next while saving the day...
Wow; another guy whose wife is 24 years older than him, like France’s Macron.
Does Benedict Cumberbatch play any character type besides the insufferable, 500 IQ, solves problems no one else can type characters like he did with Sherlock, Khan, and Alan Turing?
“Who needs James Bond when we’ve got Daryl Dixon.”
Whoa.... different critters. Dixon is a Charles Bronson type of brutish hero. Bond is supposed to be eye candy. Andrew Lincoln would make a better James Bond, I think... as long as he is clean-shaven, that is. I don’t like him with that beard.
Bring back George Lazenby!
Tom Hardy
Better hurry up; he’s currently 84 years old.
I like that chap that plays on The Witcher. Quite believable despite the crazy plots.
Wait until the candidates find out that Dylan Mulvanny has been cast as a “Bond girl”.
Ha! Holy cow, I was just thinking about this last night while watching Skyfall. “Hey when are they getting a new Bond?”
Doesn’t matter one way or another - the Bond franchise has long lost its charm and has run its course. It’s just an endless fireworks of special effects and stunts now. Boring after 5 minutes.
If anything, they should be concentrating on new writing and directing talent.
Oh, and drop the “woke” angles.
Tom Ellis, the Welch actor that played Lucifer is a hottie. I hated Daniel Craig.
