High Wycombe Actor Fuels Speculation that He Could Be the New James Bond
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson sparked speculation he could be the next James Bond during the June 20 premiere of 28 Years Later in the UK.
- This speculation follows longstanding rumours since 2022, though his official casting was rubbished in March 2024 and he refused comment at the premiere.
- Taylor-Johnson wore Bond's signature Omega watch on Instagram and starred in the experimental film directed by Danny Boyle, which added to the buzz.
- Despite fan conviction, betting odds list Theo James first at 5/2, with Taylor-Johnson slipping to 5/1, while Aaron Pierre emerges as a strong contender alongside others.
- Amazon's recent acquisition of Bond franchise rights and plans for a 2027 release suggest the franchise will take a new direction possibly involving the younger actors now favoured.
