We still don't have any new information about who will be the next James Bond. Recently, there have been rumors that Aidan Turner could be chosen for the iconic role. The 40-year-old actor, best known for his role in BBC's Poldark, was one of the many names on the list of potential candidates after Daniel Craig's departure following No Time To Die in 2021.
However, there has been a long list of actors who have been linked to the role since Craig's exit. Aidan, who played the lead character in Poldark for three years until 2019, was asked if he would consider taking on the role during an interview on the TV Baftas red carpet. He couldn't believe that it had been almost 15 years since the popular period drama first aired, but he confirmed that he has moved on from the show and is focusing on new projects. He did leave some room for possibility though, saying that you can never say never, especially if there is more story to tell.
When asked about the rumors, Aidan commented that there are many actors being considered for the role, and he hasn't heard much about it in the past few years. As a result, we can probably rule out Aidan Turner as the next James Bond. It was also recently reported that a British actor had been offered the role, causing much speculation. However, these reports were dismissed as false, and it was confirmed that Aaron Taylor-Johnson had not been offered the role, despite previously being evasive about the possibility.
According to a source, Bond is Aaron's job if he wants it, and a formal offer was on the table. However, a BBC source has since denied this claim. The rumors may have stemmed from Aaron's cryptic response in a previous interview when asked about the role. Currently, he is favored to take on the role, but other actors such as Idris Elba and James Norton have also been tipped as potential candidates.
Aside from these names, there are still many actors who have expressed interest in playing James Bond, including Lucien Laviscount, who recently stated that it would be the ultimate role for him. He even mentioned that he would love to take on more action roles, as he enjoyed filming a movie last year that was filled with fight sequences and explosions.
Meanwhile, Aidan is working on a new project titled Rivals, which he stars in alongside David Tennant. The show is based on Jilly Cooper's popular book of the same name. It seems that we will have to wait a little longer to find out who will be the next James Bond, but with so many talented actors interested in the role, we can't wait to see who will be chosen.
