Super Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Christopher Nolan and the big bet on 007

The name Aaron Taylor-Johnson may not have been known to many people until March 19. But the Sun reported that he was offered it To be next James Bondmade his name widely known in the world.

Johnson, 33, has not yet accepted any offer, if he has already made it through production, and some reports even present him as negative about the idea of ​​becoming the next James Bond, given that he has seen the action side of things like Kraven the Hunter in her new film. marvel As he told Rolling Stone, he doesn't see himself moving professionally from one action film to another.

the HOn the productAffairsThe James Bond-themed production company has reportedly acquired it and aims to start filming the next film by the end of the year. This means that there must be an end to selection soon.

Regardless of how things turn out with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, hearing his name came as a surprise after a 3-year absence. Where many strange things were heard For the continuation of 007 and the franchise.

Among the possible options that fell on the table, the names that we liked are Idris Elba, Henry Cavill And Aaron Taylor-Johnson. But Elba is now in his fifties and has action qualities that would change James Bond a lot.

So, in our minds, it all comes down to Cavill and Johnson. The ideal choice for us would definitely be Cavill. But it has become so closely associated with the Witcher and Superman that it will be difficult for the audience to get used to it.

Johnson remains undefined by any of his roles. Kraven the Hunter is a bet on the production, because it has reached it that there is no confusion for the viewer. In any case, it seems that the days of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, etc. have passed and it is unlikely for those who take on such roles in recent years.

Where did we see Aaron Taylor-Johnson?

Johnson has a history of appearing in movies that you've certainly seen, but perhaps don't remember him being there. Having started out in 2006, at the age of 15, as an actor, it was in 2015 when he delivered his strongest role. In fact, as Quicksilver in the MCU, he wasn't special, but it was the first major production he was involved in.

The following year, he appeared in Tom Ford's film Nocturnal Animals, where he managed to excel and win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2017 he starred in the movie The Wall, to come in 2019 the participation in Nolan's Tenet, in the 2021 Kingsman prequel, in 2022 the role in Bullet Train with Brad Pitt and a few weeks later we will see him in Fall Guy with Gosling. -What a shock.

In Nocturnal Animals, he has one of the most famous scenes of his career, where he is seen defecating in a basin outside a house, in a field somewhere in the United States, where he is naked and charms the female population with his athletic body. Overall, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has the element of charm and charm that defines James Bond.

Also noteworthy in his life is that he is married to 57-year-old director Sam Taylor-Johnson, whom they met in 2009 during the filming of Nowhere Boy, when he was 19 and she was 42. “50 Shades of Gray” and the upcoming biopic about the life of Amy Winehouse.

In 2010 and 2012, they had a girl and a boy, so 33-year-old Aaron Taylor-Johnson has children aged 14 and 12 years. This is a very different element from James Bond. Perhaps this is the reason behind Johnson's refusal.

What will he bring to the James Bond franchise?

Taking into consideration What he said from time to time the Daniel Craig As for James Bond, Johnson realizes that he is far from that as a character and that 007 has characteristics that he does not like. That's an actor's job, of course, to play the movie completely out of sorts, but Craig couldn't manage it well several times. Not in the James Bond movies of course, he was flawless.

However, Johnson could take over for Craig and take 007 a few steps further. He's more muscular, tougher in the way he talks, more silent, he doesn't have the theatrics and swagger that Craig had, he has a Scottish edge to his British accent, and he's more work-trained, that is, more physically prepared.

James Bond, of course, only with Craig began to be associated with muscles, physical labor. Connery, Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, introduced 007 with weapon skills and escape skills. Craig brought the muscle.

For James Bond to remain interesting, he has to continue and invest in Craig's path, especially in an age where we have so many action franchises, all with so many muscled heroes, with only Tom Cruise presenting a different image.

Therefore, in the hope that the proposal has been made and that Johnson will accept it, we stand ready to welcome the new era of James Bond, while also awaiting the selection of the next director for the 26th film, in which Christopher Nolan He expressed interest in taking over. Which, if it happens, will be the basis for seeing the best James Bond we've ever seen.
