Theo James and Taylor-Johnson Emerge as Bond Candidates

The speculation surrounding the next James Bond is intensifying, with Theo James and Aaron Taylor-Johnson emerging as potential candidates. Theo James, known for his roles in 'The White Lotus' and 'The Gentleman,' has been highlighted by UK betting shops as a frontrunner, although he has expressed reluctance to take on the role due to its life-changing implications. Meanwhile, former Bond actor Pierce Brosnan has endorsed Aaron Taylor-Johnson, praising his passion and energy based on their past collaboration. Brosnan believes Taylor-Johnson would be an excellent fit for the iconic role. Amazon MGM Studios has taken over the Bond franchise, and while the final decision remains unclear, the casting of the next 007 continues to captivate audiences. Other speculated names include Regé-Jean Page and Joe Alwyn, among others.
