James Bond favourite drops biggest hint yet he’ll be 007 with 5 words | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, one of the frontrunners rumoured to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, has teased fans with a new project. The 35-year-old insisted that he “can’t talk” about his next film project when he was quizzed on the red carpet of the new zombie flick, 28 Years Later. When he was interviewed by Deadline on Wednesday evening at the movie premiere, he said, “I can’t talk about it.” The actor, from Somerset, was already being led away down the red carpet when the question was asked. Earlier this year, fans were convinced that Aaron was the next 007 after he shared a snap of himself on Instagram wearing Bond’s signature OMEGA wristwatch.

The post’s caption read, “OMEGA welcomes Aaron Taylor-Johnson to our watchmaking home in Bienne. The actor and Golden Globe winner stepped into our watchmaking home for an exclusive tour, meeting the watchmakers behind our timepieces.”

One person who left a comment said, “Bro has to be the new James Bond at this point”, whilst a second also echoed, “Do I hear the 007 theme?”

Almost four years have passed since Daniel Craig‘s final outing as James Bond, and earlier this year, Amazon announced a surprise deal to acquire the film franchise.

The streaming service is said to be taking the popular icon in a new direction following the conclusion of Craig’s time in the legendary role.

There are new reports of what plans Amazon is making toward the movie franchise, including a date when the next movie might be hitting cinema screens. Unfortunately, fans won’t be happy as we will have to wait a little longer than expected.

Amazon MGM is making all future decisions on James Bond – including casting and direction of the series. It is reported that they are pushing for a film to be released in 2027.

The company is also taking a clean break from Daniel’s last appearance in 2021’s No Time To Die. The Sun reported that bosses are keen for a “007 prequel set in the 50s or 60s” which is set during the era when Ian Fleming wrote the books.
