IO Interactive, the developers behind the Hitman series, are creating a new James Bond game titled ‘Project 007’. While details are scarce, we know it will be an origin story, featuring a new depiction of Bond earning his 00 status. Fans are hoping for gameplay reminiscent of the Hitman series, but the developers haven’t revealed specifics about the game’s direction.
The upcoming ’28 Years Later’ has cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, raising speculation about Johnson’s potential to become the next James Bond. The actor, who has a strong filmography and is reunited with ‘The King’s Man’ co-star Ralph Fiennes and former ‘James Bond’ M, could benefit from a long-term contract with Sony Pictures, which would secure his role as Commander Bond and his involvement in the planned ’28 Years Later’ sequels.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, a popular contender for the coveted role of James Bond, has once again refrained from directly addressing the ongoing rumors surrounding his casting. When asked about the speculation at the premiere of his latest film, The Fall Guy, Taylor-Johnson playfully responded to the reporter’s inquiry. He also declined to delve into specifics about his upcoming projects, maintaining that he prefers to keep his focus on the work he can currently share with the public.
Amidst ongoing speculations, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stays tight-lipped about his alleged casting as the next James Bond. Reports emerged earlier this year suggesting that the 33-year-old actor had impressed 007 producer Barbara Broccoli with a secret audition. Bookmakers have since suspended betting on the role, amplifying the intrigue. When asked directly about the rumors at the UK premiere of his new movie, The Fall Guy, Taylor-Johnson evaded the question, leaving fans to eagerly anticipate an official announcement.
