Aaron Taylor-Johnson's name bumps up the shortlist of frontrunners to play 007 with endorsement from former James Bond Pierce Brosnan.
The James Bond film franchise remains on indefinite hiatus, but a handful of candidates are already being backed to play the 007 agent last portrayed by Daniel Craig. Seven actors have played the role in 59 years, and it appears the next one will have huge shoes to fill; actors Jeffrey Wright and Henry Cavill, as well as Barbie director Greta Gerwig previously weighed in with casting endorsements. Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson also rose to the ranks of frontrunners for the role, even though many consider him an unlikely pick (considering he's best known for his character in the Kick-Ass films). In an interview on The Ray D'Arcy Show, GoldenEye star Pierce Brosnan bolstered Taylor-Johnson's bid to lead the next James Bond film.

Following Daniel Craig’s final entry in the franchise with “No Time To Die,” James Bond is the latest piece of big Hollywood I.P. in search of a new leading man. This casting gap, of course, has led the British tabloid press to go into overdrive speculating on who might be the new 007, proclaiming a new find one day and then contradicting themselves the next day with a new frontrunner as if nothing happened.

Not long ago, former James Bond actor George Lazenby, who has had the opportunity to star in a sole outing as the agent in the now-appreciated On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, threw his support behind the all-but-confirmed Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the role. Lazenby was reportedly saying to TMZ that Taylor-Johnson would be able to “handle the stunts and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.” However, he also thinks the reason for the delay in any kind of announcement is because “when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.” Though, he still thinks Taylor-Johnson would make a great Bond “as long as they do the character justice.” His advice for the young lad would be “to be true to himself and reinvent the role to fit him.”

Manson and Stefani seemed to be big fans of each other, although their music styles and paths have been slightly different. They both started off in bands, but Stefani famously branched out to explore other forms of music. Her solo career would soon match and possibly even surpass her career with the band No Doubt.

Logan Lerman, best known for the Percy Jackson film series, began acting in commercials when he was young and made his film debut in 2000 with the movie The Patriot. After starring in several movies, he decided he needed a break in the early 2000s and would return to the industry when he was 12. In 2004, he was cast in one of the two titular roles in the TV series Jack & Bobby.

By the time he was cast as the titular character in the 2009 movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, he had appeared in numerous projects and won three Young Artist Awards. The movies have been criticized for deviating from the source material for years. With the release of the new Disney+ series, fans were hoping to have those mistakes corrected.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has gotten support from a former James Bond actor after rumors the Bullet Train star got offered to be the next 007 agent.
George Lazenby, who portrayed Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, gave his seal of approval to Taylor-Johnson following reports he was in contention for the role.
According to a recent TMZ report, Lazenby said Taylor-Johnson would be able to “handle the stunts and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.”
Lazenby noted that he doesn’t think Taylor-Johnson has the role yet because “when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.”

Actor Michael Keaton has spent the last two years reprising his iconic roles from Tim Burton films. The actor will be seen as the beloved ‘bio-exorcist’ Beetlegeuse in the upcoming sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the teaser of which debuted earlier this week. Keaton also starred as Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman in last year’s Dceu film The Flash.
While fans were ecstatic to see Keaton don the cowl again, his casting in the original 1989 Batman did not receive the same fanfare. When he was cast as Wayne in the adaptation, many fans reportedly were outraged at the casting as he was known as a comedic actor. Fans reportedly wrote thousands of letters to Warner Bros. to dissuade them from casting Keaton.

Pierce Brosnan could finally have his big break with spy movie "Black Bag," casting him alongside top actors and directed by Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh's success in the spy genre makes Brosnan's involvement promising, especially after previous unsuccessful attempts to replace James Bond. Despite a previous flop in the spy genre, Brosnan's charm and spy movie experience make him a good fit for a potential James Bond follow-up.
Pierce Brosnan may have just found his James Bond replacement with Black Bag, a whole decade after his last attempt to replace Bond ended in a box office disaster. Brosnan recently joined the cast of Black Bag, directed by Steven Soderbergh and due to begin production in May. After years of failing to secure a suitable replacement for the James Bond series, including a notable $34.8 million flop, this could be the big break Brosnan has been looking for.

If there's one quality that the James Bond series has always been good for, it's camp. Even if it wasn't always intentional, the series has had a healthy dose of sincere absurdity, whether it's the overt machismo of the Sean Connery era or the smoothly streamlined blockbusters of the Pierce Brosnan age. There's something inherently silly about the premise of Bond, and the best films know how to properly intertwine that silliness within actual stakes and well-crafted action sequences. The downside to this is that the silliness can often undermine any sense of real tension, particularly when it comes to the villains. Bond villains might be memorable, with their monologues and penchant for world domination, but they are hardly ever what one would call "scary." So consider how scandalous it felt when Javier Bardem blessed us with Silva, the villain from Danny Boyle's Skyfall, and became not only one...

Many actors would love to portray James Bond, yet there is a specific casting process that must be adhered to and not everybody is willing to play the role. For example, Christian Bale turned down the role of James Bond early in the new millennium.
Ian Fleming created the prominent British secret agent in 1953, and he has since been featured in 12 novels and two collections of short stories. Despite having a readership of their own, James Bond’s cinematic adaptations helped popularize the character on a large scale.
Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises
Following the expiration of Pierce Brosnan’s contract, Bale, the British actor, was deemed one of the best candidates to portray James Bond due to his acclaimed appearance. Unexpectedly, The Dark Knight star rejected the role—which has historically only been given to British actors—because he felt it promoted negative stereotypes about the country.

With Daniel Craig’s exit as James Bond, Eon Productions has been on the lookout for the next British actor to play Agent 007. While the former Superman, Henry Cavill, is a fan favorite, recent reports indicated that Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson was offered the role by the studio and that he was expected to take up the offer and announce soon.
However, the rumor has not been confirmed by the actor or the production house, leading fans to bash the outlet that broke the news. Taylor-Johnson’s apparent confirmation as James Bond led to many fans being dejected by Cavill’s loss, but the campaign seems to be on full steam now that the news has been unconfirmed.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson breaks casting tradition by potentially becoming the youngest James Bond actor since George Lazenby in 1969. Taylor-Johnson's age offers the opportunity for a long tenure as 007, hinting at a slow progression for the character's development. While not the youngest Bond actor ever, Taylor-Johnson could bring a new era of longevity and narrative depth to the franchise.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson's possible casting as the next leading man of the James Bond franchise would mean the end of a casting streak that's been in place since 1969. While the trend seems largely incidental, the choice of Taylor-Johnson to follow Daniel Craig as 007 could arguably make a statement that goes far beyond the former's immense acting talents. When every Aaron Taylor-Johnson movie is taken into account, the actor's first Bond film would arguably be his biggest role yet.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor-Johnson was asked whether reports of him becoming the new leading man in the James Bond film series were true. Reportedly delivering a "wry" stare as he answered, Taylor-Johnson didn't confirm nor deny the 007 rumors, saying, “I can only really talk about the things I’m going to show and tell. So, The Fall Guy, Nosferatu, Kraven the Hunter.” He added, “I don’t feel like I need to have a future drawn out for me. I feel like, whatever’s drawn out for me, I can f**ing do better.”

Think in terms of movies, not eras, Mr. Bond!
If the rumors are correct, James Bond franchise overlord Barbara Broccoli is closing in on a new actor to don 007’s tux. This, however, is an endless vodka martini swirl of rumors — with the main actor in question, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, just as tied to the role a year ago as he is now. Why the delay? It’s been two and a half years since Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, “No Time to Die,” bowed in cinemas.
Part of it seems to be a franchise tradition that, with each new actor in the role, there’s a bit of a rethink of the character: To tailor the role to the actor’s strengths and better fit the sensibilities of the moment. An awareness of the history of the franchise, of what era it’s currently inhabiting, has been part of...

“How can a short, blond actor with the rough face of a professional boxer and a penchant for playing villains, killers, cranks, and cads pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome, and suave secret agent?”
So asks the front page of the website Daniel Craig is Not Bond, one of many fan-sites launched in the wake of the actor getting cast as James Bond for Casino Royale back in 2005. Nearly two decades later, the question seems laughable, as Craig elevated the franchise into something rich and emotionally dense, touching on qualities the series rarely attempted.
The 20/20 hindsight about Craig’s tenure comes in handy with the escalating rumors that Eon Productions have offered Aaron Taylor-Johnson the Bond role. On paper, Taylor-Johnson seems like the safe choice, a conventionally handsome white Englishman, a veteran of big-budget movies such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla, and Tenet.

Ian Fleming’s secret agent with a license to kill, James Bond has been brought to life by seven actors. It began with Sean Connery in 1962 and most recently, Daniel Craig finished his stint as Agent 007.

Craig’s performance as the character is critically acclaimed, and some even call his portrayal the best ever. However, it might surprise one that Craig was initially hesitant to take on the role.

While it may be a tall order to replace Daniel Craig as the new face of James Bond in the 007 franchise, there are capable stars in the industry that might just make it possible. Among them, stars like Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and Cillian Murphy are, at the moment, the top contenders for the role of the British superspy in the coming years.

James Bond star Pierce Brosnan entered a guilty plea on Thursday for walking off the designated path in one of Yellowstone National Park’s thermal areas in November 2023.
Brosnan was issued a violation notice, accompanying another one he received for allegedly violating a closure at Mammoth Hot Springs. He was fined $500 for straying off the trail and ordered to pay $1,000 to the nonprofit organization Yellowstone Forever.
The court dismissed his second violation.
Brosnan and his lawyer appeared virtually at the arrangement. He previously pleaded not guilty to both violations in January.
The actor apologized for the incident on Instagram.
“As an environmentalist, I have the utmost respect for and love of our natural world,” he wrote. “However, I made an impulsive mistake — one that I do not take lightly — when entering a thermal area covered in snow in Yellowstone National Park to take a photograph. I did not see a...

The original comic ending of Kingsman saw Eggsy saving celebrities, which was not adapted in the film. The movie changed the plot to influencers figures instead of celebrities, missing a pivotal final comic scene. Altering the final scene diminished Eggsy's wish-fulfillment moment in the film, contrasted to the comic.
Between Kingsman’s film and comic universes, the series’ main protagonist, Eggsy, is put through the wringer as he tries to stop a threat that could kill millions, ultimately going on to save the world in an expected over-the-top manner. Yet the final scene in the comic was vastly different from what was in the movie, and thanks to Kingsman's overly expensive nature, the scene was instead replaced by a controversial one that didn’t service the story at all.

The abandoned Dalton sequel script provided potential answers to long-standing questions about James Bond's canon and timeline. Every Bond actor brings a new element to the role while respecting the character's legacy, leading to ambiguity in the franchise's continuity. Craig's era reset the Bond canon, separating his movies from the older ones and creating the possibility of each Bond existing in their own universe.
The James Bond movie franchise has long had an esoteric and confusing canon, but an abandoned Timothy Dalton sequel could have settled the debate. Almost every James Bond movie has questions surrounding it regarding where it belongs within the franchise's canon - if it even belongs anywhere at all. James Bond's changing face is the biggest factor that contributes to the uncertainty surrounding the timeline, and while there may never be a satisfying explanation given, Dalton's spell as Bond came very close to clearing up the tangled web of vague continuity.

Pierce Brosnan has pleaded guilty for walking off a trail at Yellowstone National Park and will pay $1,500 for the transgression.
After walking off trail in a thermal area of Yellowstone’s Mammoth Terraces last November, Brosnan posted a picture on Instagram. The photo alerted authorities to the act of trespassing, leading to the court case. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor was in the park for personal reasons, not for any film work.
Prosecutors recommended a $5,000 fine and a two-year probationary sentence, but Brosnan ultimately was fined $500. Additionally, he was ordered to pay $1,000 to the nonprofit organization, Yellowstone Forever. There was an additional petty offense for violating closures and use limits, but it was dismissed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick.

This brisk romp doesn’t outstay its welcome, with Brosnan as a hitman and Godfather star James Caan in his last screen appearance
Back in the early 90s, the emergence of Quentin Tarantino sparked a mini-boom in crime thrillers, some good (Natural Born Killers), some less so (The Boondock Saints). Based on the novel Gun Monkeys, this new Pierce Brosnan vehicle is a throwback to that era in almost every way possible – and that’s largely at the root of what’s both good and bad about it.
We open with a flash-forward to a motor-vehicle graveyard in Florida where Brosnan, Aka hitman Charlie Swift, is hanging about looking shifty. An unseen antagonist orders him to put his hands in the air and take his shirt off. He complies, and then voiceover from Brosnan essentially follows the format of the record scratch meme.

Daisy Ridley, known best as Rey in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, has had a pretty fascinating career outside of a galaxy far, far away. From narrating documentaries to failed YA sci-fi adaptations, she's certainly spread her wings. Later this year, Ridley will get the chance to lead a straight-up action flick called "Cleaner." It sounds like a riff on "Die Hard" from director Martin Campbell, who directed two of the greatest "James Bond" movies ever made. We may not even have a trailer yet, but it sounds very much like the film is going to live up to the promise of the talent involved.
The actor was on hand at this year's SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas, to promote her new movie "Magpie." During a panel, Ridley got to talking about some of her more physically demanding roles as of late, including the upcoming Disney drama "Young Woman and the Sea.
