Jacob Elordi, Callum Turner, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are all being considered for the role of the next James Bond. The three actors have recently made appearances at the Venice Film Festival, all looking dapper and ready to take on the iconic role. However, there's one frontrunner who seems to be taking a different approach.
Callum Turner, known for his role in "Masters of the Air," arrived at the festival in a classic white suit and bow tie, earning him third place in the current Bond odds. Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi, hailing from Saltburn, looked every bit the part in his black double-breasted suit and confident red carpet walk. And then there's Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the current favorite for the role according to bookies, who arrived at the festival sporting a rugged beard.
But despite his odds, Aaron's appearance may not quite fit the suave style of 007 just yet. The "Nowhere Boy" actor was hardly recognizable with his white cap, sunglasses, and curly brunette locks, along with his sizable beard. Rumors have it that this new look is for his upcoming role in "Werwulf," a collaboration with "Nosferatu" director Robert Eggers.
Not much is known about the film, except that it's set in 13th century England and will be Eggers' darkest film yet. So it's safe to say that Aaron's new look is not for his potential role as Bond, unless we're seeing the famous spy in a completely new light.
After Daniel Craig's departure following "No Time To Die," Amazon MGM, who now hold creative control over the franchise, have been on the hunt for the next 007. And while they haven't given much away, the odds are certainly in Aaron's favor. Other actors who have been rumored for the role include James Norton, Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, and Tom Holland.
It was reported last year that Aaron had been offered the role, but this was quickly denied by insiders. However, with his recent appearances and enigmatic answers about his next project, it seems like he may be in talks for the role after all. He's also been named a global ambassador for Omega, the go-to watch brand for the Bond franchise since 1995.
Whoever ends up playing the iconic spy, we can't wait to see the next installment in the franchise. Until then, we'll keep our eyes on these three talented actors and their potential to take on the role of James Bond.
