Aaron Taylor-Johnson is allegedly the top choice to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, after taking part in a secret screen test.

The actor, 32, is said to have impressed producer Barbara Broccoli during an audition at Pinewood Studios, where many of the franchise's films have been filmed.

A source told The Sun: 'Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him. He is now one of the front-runners.'

Most certainly not the worst pick if it's him.

I think this would be a solid choice.

The dude is pretty bowed up and has been great in films like Bullet Train, The King's Man, Outlaw King, etc


He is a solid actor but I am not sure I see him as Bond

My pick would have been Hiddleston.

It takes a special screen presence to be Bond.

Cavill is Superman and Bond. But Supes takes precedence over the wokified bond universe, so good luck with this guy

Then 20 yr old 'kid' is now buffed up and in his 30's.

And he's done a few things since...

Godzilla
The Avengers
Tenet


He's every bit as suitable for the part as Daniel Craig, and far better than some race and gender swapped actress.


*But as for playing the character, he's more serious than most think yet I'm skeptical he can play Bond.

Jesus Christ, I’m about the same age as ATJ. Godzilla was 9 years ago. Where did our 20s go?

ATJ is 32 years old and his wife is 55! Nothing to do with James Bond, other than 007 wouldn’t bang a 55 yo. I just think it’s weird.

Kick arse was 2010

Godzilla was 2014


So, yeah. Time flies.

For the small price of having to use a bit of lube more often than not, he gets to be with a woman who (probably) can’t get pregnant anymore and knew a thing or 2 about life in the 80s. I’m sure he’s living better than most men.

ATJ is a weird one. Good enough looking to be mowing down 20 y/o models and doesn’t even choose a Salma-like MILF.

Yeah I was going to say his personal life doesn’t exactly build up the image of Bond as a man who seduces really attractive women through his suave charm.

Doesn't this guy bail out on franchise stuff because he doesn't like being tied into them?
