“Oh My Gosh!” Bond Fans in Shock After Non-Actress Cast as the New Bond Girl

The Bond girl has always been just as iconic as Agent 007 himself. Now, a fiery debate is unfolding online over who will take on this legendary role — with fans ranking their favorites and making bold predictions. In this Bright Side-style breakdown, we’ll reveal the top contenders for the coveted title of the next Bond girl.

Reports suggest that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been selected to be the next James Bond.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has long been rumored to be a leading contender to take over as James Bond following Daniel Craig’s departure. On March 18, The Sun reported that he had been offered the coveted role and was expected to finalize a deal soon. However, sources close to the actor disputed those claims, saying he has not been officially selected to play 007.

When asked about the speculation, Taylor-Johnson avoided confirming or denying the rumors, saying, “I can only really talk about the things I’m going to show and tell. I don’t feel like I need to have a future drawn out for me. I feel like: whatever’s drawn out for me, I can do better.”

Pierce Brosnan, best known for his time as James Bond, believes Aaron Taylor-Johnson would make an excellent successor to the role. In a recent interview, the actor expressed his support for the idea, saying, “I think the man has the chops and the talent and the charisma to play Bond, very much so.”

Brosnan also looked back on their collaboration in the 2009 film The Greatest, which his production company helped bring to life. Remembering Taylor-Johnson’s performance fondly, he said, “One of the first movies we made, one of the earliest movies, was The Greatest. And he was the greatest in it. So, yes, I read the news about his possibilities of being a Bond, so I would definitely tip my hat to the fellow.”
