English actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who has previously appeared in several action movies, could become the next James Bond, Puck News reported.
The James Bond franchise has been around since the early 1960s, with many actors portraying the role. The iconic role has previously been played by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and most recently, Daniel Craig in No Time to Die, released in 2021.
Fans are excited about Aaron Taylor-Johnson reportedly getting cast as the iconic secret service agent, with one fan calling him "A Craig-style Bond with a bit more charisma."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson isn't new to the action genre as he has appeared in movies like Tenet, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and most recently, Bullet Train, alongside Brad Pitt. Netizens are confident about this choice and claim that the young actor has the skills and looks to pull off a convincing James Bond.
Fans were pretty impressed with the actor's stunts in Bullet Train. Moreover, he is a good-looking, charismatic fellow with a great physique. Some people wanted Henry Cavill to be the next James Bond, but Aaron Taylor-Johnson isn't underwhelming. Another popular choice for the next 007 was Idris Elba.
One fan jokingly said that he wanted Brian Tyree Henry to star as Q in the next Bond movie, giving a callout to the duo from Bullet Train.
James Bond's role has traditionally been played by an English actor, and Taylor-Johnson definitely fits the bill. There have been 25 James Bond films, and the franchise has grossed well over $7 billion to date, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film series.
