Aaron Taylor-Johnson Fuels Bond Rumours With This Awkward 28 Years Later Red Carpet Moment

Aaron Taylor-Johnson… will you just spill already?

It’s now been well over a year since speculation went into overdrive about whether the Bullet Train actor would be taking over the role of James Bond in the iconic spy franchise, following Daniel Craig’s final outing in 2021’s No Time To Die.

It seemed we finally had our answer in March 2024 when an unnamed “source” told The Sun that the Tenet star had been offered the gig. However, this was then cast into doubt just one day later, when a “production insider” told BBC News there was “no truth in the rumours”.

Despite the ongoing mystery, Aaron is hardly helping put our racing minds to rest.

Appearing on the red carpet at the world premiere of his new film 28 Years Later in London on Wednesday, the actor was asked by Deadline what he was up to next.

He coyly replied that he “can’t talk about it” before being whisked away by a member of his publicity team.

But while neither party actually mentioned James Bond, Aaron’s response had everyone in agreement that he was only adding more fuel to the speculation fire…

This isn’t the first time Aaron has been faced with questions about the next phase of his career by reporters, after he repeatedly dodged the topic of playing 007 in several interviews. 

Even his red carpet appearance at the Venice Film Festival last September seemed to point to the fact that he was next in line to play Bond.

If he is, indeed, taking the reins in the legendary franchise, he’s already received the seal of approval from two former 007s.

Meanwhile, fans think they spotted a seriously big clue last month about Aaron, that might just be the James Bond confirmation we’ve all been waiting for.

Besides Aaron, there have been numerous other British stars are reported to be in the running for the highly coveted role, from Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Richard Madden and even Harry Styles.
