New James Bond

[Lupo]

The role has been offered to Aaron Taylor-Johnson apparently and just awaiting his agreement

Don't think I've seen him in anything

 

[leedswolf]

He portrayed John Lennon in 'Nowhere Boy'.

 

[Del Woppio]

Never heard of him, but he does look like a Bond. I didn't particularly like Craig when he got the job but he's hands down the goat of Bonds

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

New chap looks very Timothy Dalton.

 

[BillyDee]

Good to see he's not 50+ like some of the names going round...

 

[Langers]

Excellent choice. He had a really good presence in Nowhere Boy and he looks right for the part.

 

[wanderer89]

Was very good in Bullet Train too.

 

[Kenny]

So not this guy then?

 

[The Bear]

How have people never heard of him? He's been in loads of stuff, mainly Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Tenet, Avengers, etc.

 

[Jack Regan]

Because you might never have seen any of the films you've mentioned (I haven't).

Outlaw King is the only film of his I've seen.

I have seen Kick-Ass and KIngsman but his name meant nothing to me. Before googling him I expected to discover the Bruno Lage of the acting world was getting the gig but turned out I had seen him in stuff and I was wrong.

 

[Alan]

He's the ostensible main character in the fairly good Godzilla from 2014.

Didn't realize he's British?

 

[The Bear]

He's 33 and married an older woman, the director Sam Taylor Johnson, 57. They met when he was shooting Nowhere Boy which was her directorial debut.

I reckon if I was on a quiz show where you had to put names to the faces of 200 movie stars I'd get about ten correct

Oh well if that was in the opening post I 100% would have known who he is...

 

[The Bear]

I was just providing some additional interesting info/context.

 

[The Bear]

I'm surprised that Henry Cavill wasn't a shoe in for the next Bond. Obviously they want someone younger. Possibly for an Origin story for Bond and how he became a 00 agent?

I've heard of him but don't think I've seen him in anything, certainly not the films you list as I hate those sort of films

He's busy doing Warhammer stuff, believe it or not.

I've seen Tenet but I mainly remember the headache it gave me with its stupid plot and crap sound mix.
