James Bond is an icon who has been performed by nice actors similar to Sean Connery, Roger Moor, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. Craig has lastly hung up his spy devices and referred to as it quits as agent 007. So, that left an enormous hole within the franchise and it was extremely speculated that Taylor-Johnson was going to fill the function. He’s already fashionable for his roles as Kick-Ass in Kick-Ass, Ford Brody in Godzilla, Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Tangerine in Bullet Practice. Nevertheless, everybody is aware of that taking up the function of James Bond catapults an actor’s profession to a completely totally different degree.
All this whereas, the rumor mills have been churning and consistently reporting that Taylor-Johnson is the one favored as the brand new 007 although the actor himself refused to refute or affirm the information. However as he didn’t outright deny them both, his followers held on to hope.
However now, chilly water has been splashed on all these expectations. A bomb has been dropped on this complete parade that he gained’t be enjoying the function in spite of everything.

“Right here’s the one I heard right now that was attention-grabbing. Much less of a scoop aside from only a ray of hope, possibly. I’ve heard Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s not a lock for Bond. I don’t assume it’s proper for him. It’s not that I don’t assume he’d make a very good Bond, however I don’t know if he wants it.”
This implies Henry Cavill could possibly be again within the operating to get the function. He’s been within the headlines lengthy earlier than he departed from The Witcher and located that his alternative to play Superman once more evaporated lengthy earlier than the ink finalizing the deal of his return even dried. Together with his subsequent undertaking being Warhammer 40K, if he turns into the subsequent James Bond – sure, we want to proceed day-dreaming – he would have his palms full between bringing to life the world of an impressive sport and hopping into the sneakers of probably the most badass spy ever.
The likelihood is mind-exploding however Taylor-Johnson’s exit and possibilities of Cavill as Bond as an alternative are all simply rumors at this level and everybody is aware of how credible this stuff are.
