At the time (March 2024), the report expected Eon to announce Taylor-Johnson as the next Bond "in the coming days." That news has yet to materialize, and Taylor-Johnson downplayed the idea in a recent Rolling Stone profile.
Fresh-faced newbies like Theo James, Callum Turner and Damson Idris have all stirred interest. (Maybe they'd prefer it shaken.) But if there's one guy with his nose out in front currently, it's Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with tabloid rumours pinning him to a new career in double-O espionage for a couple of years now.
Is there going to be a new James Bond movie in 2024?
Filming for Bond 26 is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2024 with locations spanning the globe from exotic locales to bustling cityscapes. As anticipation mounts for this electrifying installment, fans can expect a cinematic experience that will leave them shaken and stirred.
Since Daniel Craig announced No Time to Die would be his last outing as James Bond, there's been intense speculation on who the next Bond will be. In March 2024, the Sun reported Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been offered the role, but no formal announcement has been made yet.
Since Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond in "No Time to Die", many actors have been touted as the next 007. The latest – and reportedly most likely – is 33-year-old Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Who is replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond?
LONDON (AP) — Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the latest actor reportedly offered a license to kill and succeed Daniel Craig as the new James Bond. The “Kick-Ass” star is no stranger to action movies and at 33 is a good age to join the franchise, as producers likely want a 10 year commitment to the role.
VIDEO: Daniel Craig confirms he will return as James Bond to 'go out on a high note' LONDON — Daniel Craig has delayed the specter of retirement as 007. The British actor has confirmed, as widely expected, that he'll play James Bond in the franchise's next film, due out in 2019.
The bookies have revealed they now have seven names priced 9/1 or shorter to replace Daniel Craig as 007, from Aaron Taylor-Johnson (15/8) to Tom Hardy (9/1), with Henry Cavill (7/2) and Damson Idris (9/2) making up the podium spots.
He's not not the new James Bond either — but his casting remains a rumour for now. It may disappoint you, but that's the truth — and why Hardy or Eon haven't as much as commented on the 'leak'. But don't despair!
Henry Cavill fans can finally see the British actor as James Bond — sorta. A fake Bond movie trailer “starring” the former Witcher star has been racking up millions of views on YouTube despite being a total fake.
The first head of MI6 was a man named Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming. He famously signed all his correspondence in the agency with the letter 'C' in green ink. In the Fleming novels M stands for the character's last name, and I think his whole name is Sir Miles Messervy.
According to the Sun, an inside source said "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." At the time (March 2024), the report expected Eon to announce Taylor-Johnson as the next Bond "in the coming days."
Originally Answered: Are there any actors who have turned down the role of James Bond? Yes. There's actually been quite a few actors who have turned down the role. Adam West, Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood all turned it down as they felt the part should be played by a Brit.
What the director seemed to be explaining was the Bond multiverse theory, that the way to make sense of it is that the new 007 is in a world or reality that's different to the one Craig's incarnation died in. The Casino Royale director also shared his thoughts on No Time To Die and what he thought the movie “missed”.
Wilson have insisted that the search for Bond MK 7 hasn't even started. But a new report suggests that Aaron Taylor-Johnson – following similar reports from early 2023 – has been offered the role. An unnamed source said: “Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it.
Older mums are also being increasingly seen in the celebrity sphere, with everyone from Janet Jackson — who was 50 when she gave birth to her son in 2017 — to Rachel Weisz — who had her first child with husband Daniel Craig aged 48 in 2018 — making headlines.
What's the age difference between Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz?
The couple first crossed paths in the 1990s before later reconnecting on the set of Dream House. Daniel, 55, plays publisher Will Atenton in the psychological thriller, whilst Rachel, 53, stars as Will's wife, Libby. Prior to finding love with Daniel, Rachel split from her ex-Darren Aronofsky after nine years together.
Daniel Craig and his actress wife Rachel Weisz are rumored to have a combined net worth in the region of $190 million but they do not intend to leave their vast fortune to their children. Whilst being interviewed for his most recent film he was asked about leaving his Estate to his children.
Summary. Henry Cavill doesn't rule out playing James Bond and says he's not sure whether he's "too old" now. Cavill had long been considered a top choice for 007, but recent reports suggest another actor may end up getting the role. Cavill's starring role in Argylle may have hurt his chances of becoming Bond.
With Bond 26 not expected on our cinema screens until 2025 at the earliest, the film remains firmly in the pre-pre-production phase. 'We're working out where to go with him, we're talking that through,' said EON producer Barbara Broccoli in June 2022.
