Listening to the radio this morning, there was a report that the next James Bond actor is very likely to be Aaron Taylor Johnson.

Johnson is an English actor best known for playing the title role in Kick Ass (2010). He recently appeared in Bullet Train along with Brad Pitt. Personally I think that he will make a great Bond, and at the tender age of 32, could be holding down the role for many years to come.

Report from The Sun (UK) tabloid.

Hmmm...It IS the Sun. So it could be unlikely.

Personally, I think Henry Cavill would make a good Bond.

"He is now one of the front-runners.”

How many are now one of the front-runners?

Can't stand that guy, that'd mean No Time to Die is the last Bond I see for a while.

I agree that Henry Cavil would have been perfect for the role, but he is coming up to 40 now, and the producers are looking for someone in their early 30's apparently.

The big question is……..

with or without the moustache?

I thought the same thing as you when Daniel Craig got the job. Now, I think that he was an excellent Bond, and I was sorry to hear that he was giving up the role. Age does catch up with everyone, and it seems that someone in their early 30's would be the right call. I don't want to see another George Lazenby (one film wonder) or Timothy Dalton (two films).

I think that was a couple of iterations ago.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

If I am honest, I half expected a black trans woman to be named the next Bond (and no, I don't have anything against Black, Trans, or Women, or any combination of the above).

I think that'll be a separate "00" series, to be honest.

Having read quite a bit about the actors in line for the Bond role, my money is on Aaron Taylor Johnson.

Okay I got off the fence, anyone else brave enough to predict the outcome?

I'll give you a tip. Idris Elba is reportedly out of the running. But you can still pick him, they are only rumours after all.

Bond seems stale to me. A black transwoman in the lead role might be exactly what it needs.
