The next actor to play James Bond has reportedly been “chosen” and will sign their contract this week.
Speculation overwho’ll be the next star to don the tuxhas been rampant for years, even before Craig bowed out of the role. Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy have been firm mainstays on bookies’ lists — but there’s one actor who seems to be the best bet:Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson to “sign contract” to play James Bond
Taylor-Johnson has been “formally offered” the James Bond job, as reported byThe Sun.
“Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back,” a source told the tabloid.
“As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”
Most recently, while appearing at the BFI Fellowship Awards, she said: “There’s nothing I can tell you about the next Bond film. There’s nothing. Nothing is happening yet.”
