Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, currently promoting his new film '28 Years Later,' has emerged as a frontrunner and top contender among James Bond fans for the iconic 007 role. Despite his active schedule, fan speculation about his future projects, particularly regarding the 'Bond' franchise, has intensified.

During the official premiere of '28 Years Later,' Johnson was directly asked about his upcoming plans. He skillfully dodged any Bond-related questions, simply stating, "I can't talk about it." While the '007' role was not explicitly named during the brief Q&A, his evasive response has fueled a frenzy among his admirers. Many fans interpret this as a deliberate attempt by the actor to keep a potential Bond casting under wraps, further escalating excitement and speculation.

Fans of both the actor and the long-running spy franchise have consistently expressed their enthusiasm for the idea of Taylor-Johnson taking on the mantle of the next James Bond. A recent viral video featuring the actor has only amplified these discussions, with many speculating about his next major role. While some commenters suggested a return to the 'Avengers' franchise, a significant number pointed to his actions as a strong indication that he is indeed poised to become the next James Bond.

Adding to the conversation, Michael Fassbender, who previously auditioned for the James Bond role in 2006, publicly endorsed Aaron Taylor-Johnson. In an interview segment on 'Happy, Sad, Confused,' Fassbender shared his belief that both Regé-Jean Page and Aaron Taylor-Johnson possess the qualities to effectively portray the 007 character, further solidifying Taylor-Johnson's position as a serious contender in the eyes of many.
