He was definitely the stand-out in Bullet Train. No clue how he'd be as Bond though.

I tend to agree with Southernfatman when it comes to Bond though. Whoever they cast will probably be fine. It's the writing and theme that will be the difference between an okay action movie and a truly memorable Bond film.

Will there be a rule that his Bond girls need to be old enough to be his mother?

This was the film that convinced me he could be Bond
Me too. I think he's talented and would be a decent James Bond.

And also his former boss who he met when he was in his teens?

I could see him playing Bond with Nolan as the director.

Why can't an American ever play Bond? British characters are never given to American actors. But we constantly let British Actors be American Super Heroes. It's bullshit

I'm just tired of the universe revolving around James Bond. Give us another movie of just him on a mission for crown and country instead of dealing with his or M's deep dark past >_>

I totally agree. I hope the next film(s) go back to the original formula where each film is standalone with the only real link being the MI6 staff. Linking each of Craig's films together was definitely a mistake and it's no coincidence that the two best Craig films (Casino Royale and Skyfall) are the ones lightest on continuity.

As for the Taylor-Johnson news, the BBC have said:
The BBC has approached Taylor-Johnson. Eon Productions which makes the Bond films has said they don't comment on speculation, however a production insider has told BBC News there is "no truth in the rumours".

I just hope these new films are less grounded in reality. Bring back more insane spy gadgets. Make the series light sci-fi again.

Yeah, this is also another reason why I want to go back to the old formula. You can do stuff with Bond's past and his relationship with M, but they went a bit too far with it. Plus they already sort of did that already in the Brosnan films. They also had a similar relationship where's she's part boss and part mum and in The World Is Not Enough, they had a thing where something from M's past comes back.

They should bring back Ralph Fiennes as M. I liked him as a more traditional M. It's not like they have to explain anything because Judi Dench traversed different canons too.

No. Craig had the most with Skyfall followed by a few Connery films and then Spectre. Brosnan doesn't break into the top 10 at all.

I always get suspicious when a tweet sources Variety but doesn't link anything. Sure enough it's more grey than that.

This article was from 10 hours ago. I can't find anything else.

https://variety.com/2024/film/news/aaron-taylor-johnson-james-bond-superhero-movies-challenging-1235947114/

Another potential franchise on the horizon for Taylor-Johnson is James Bond. Hes long been considered a favorite to take over the role from Daniel Craig, with The Sun reporting on March 18 that he was officially offered the role and will sign a contract imminently. Sources close to Taylor-Johnson downplayed the report and said he has not been cast as Bond, but technically anything is possible in the future.

There's also Vanity Fair. I'll just post the screen cap since the article is pay walled.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/56404473.jpg

Kinda seems like him being offered the role isn't true but they're not ruling out that he will.
