Three years have passed since Daniel Craig took his life final James Bond mission experienced on the big screen. Recently, his farewell performance No Time to Die even celebrated its free TV premiere on German television. What will happen next for the famous secret agent is still unclear.
Eon Productions, the film production company behind the James Bond series, remains silent about the issue Recasting the legendary character. The rumor mill is all the more eager to speculate about Craig’s successor. A name that has been coming up again and again for months: Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Will he be the new Bond?
James Bond 26: Is Aaron Taylor-Johnson getting tired of being asked about his possible 007 casting?
We’ll probably have to wait some time for an official confirmation. On the red carpet, Taylor-Johnson is still regularly asked whether he cast as the new James Bond was, including at the premiere of The Fall Guy in London. You can watch the Associated Press video below.

The AP reporter asks Taylor-Johnson: “Are you tired of it, always after [James] Bond to be asked?” The star, known from films such as Bullet Train, Tenet and the upcoming Marvel blockbuster Kraven the Hunter, then looks briefly at the floor, exhales for a long time and answers with a counter question: “Are you tired of asking this question?” The journalist’s answer is honest and direct: “I want to know, so no.” They both laugh and Taylor-Johnson says goodbye.
The dilemma of every red carpet interview involving rumors summed up in 12 seconds: Yes, we want to know who the next Bond is. And yes, we also totally understand that Taylor-Johnson, for whatever reason cannot or does not want to comment on it. Maybe he was cast. Maybe he was just part of the casting process. Maybe he doesn’t want to mess things up with anyone. Whatever his reasons, his reaction is completely understandable.
When does the next James Bond film start in cinemas?
James Bond #26 has no official theatrical release yet. As already mentioned: Eon Productions remains silent. So far, the star of the new film has not been determined, nor do we know who will hold the creative reins behind the scenes.
