The New James Bond 007, Shakin’ Not Stirred by the news of a new actor, Aaron Perry Taylor-Johnson, to play British Agent 007 James Bond, taking over for Daniel Craig after 15 years. U.K. tabloid The Sun reported Aaron Taylor-Johnson, a former child actor now known for his roles in big-budget films, was formally offered the job. Eon Productions, which makes spy thriller films, will start shooting this year. The next Bond movie had been delayed because of last year’s Hollywood strikes.
Who Is Aaron Taylor Johnson?
Aaron, who is 33, was in the running for the top job alongside actors, including Oscar-winning Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, and James Norton. Aaron Perry Taylor-Johnson is an English actor. He is known for portraying the title character in Kick-Ass and its 2013 sequel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe character Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He also has a supporting role in “The Fall Guy” in theaters May 3 from Warner Bros. Check out his Filmography by clicking here.
When Will We See A New Bond Film In Theaters?
Hope Aaron Perry Taylor isn’t busy for the next 10-12 years. Whoever is chosen for the Bond role would likely be committed for 10 to 12 years. Because of the Hollywood strike, production could start soon. Scripts are ready, but I don’t expect this to hit theaters for a year or two, at my estimation.
What Happened To The Last James Bond 007 Actor?
Daniel Craig as Bond confirmed in 2019 that his final appearance as the spy would be in the 2021 film No Time to Die. Craig played James Bond in five films, from Casino Royale (2006) to No Time to Die (2021).
The Bond Effect Over The Years
Sean Connery will forever be remembered as the original James Bond when he starred in the 1962 classic “Dr. No.” A slew of six Bond films continued after the original. People Magazine also voted it the Sexiest Man Alive in 1999.
The Bond franchise has spanned more than 60 years and six actors with 25 films released. The first Bond film, “Dr. No,” premiered in 1962 and starred Sean Connery as the first actor to portray the spy. Connery and Roger Moore have starred as Bond in seven films, the most of any actor. George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Craig are the other actors who have played the iconic role, with Craig’s tenure—spanning five films from 2006 to 2021—being the most recent. The Bond movies are typically box office smash hits. The Bond films released this century have grossed, according to Forbes.com, at least $400 million worldwide.

Fans can cast their vote once a day at Vote.RockHall.com for who they think should be part of the 2024 Rock Hall induction class. This year, voting was initially announced to last through April 26. However, it abruptly ended on April 15. Even the Instagram post below from the Rock Hall states voting ends on April 26.
However, Future Rock Legends noted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 26, “The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame quietly pushed up the Fan Vote closing date to April 15th. It had previously been set to close on April 26th.”
Unlike in previous years, fans got to vote for up to seven nominees every day. Previously, the choices were capped at five nominees.
The Fan Vote was first launched in 2013. Per the Rock Hall, “There have been over four million fan votes cast over the past 10 years, with 64% of the Fan Vote ballot (35 of 55) earning induction in the same year; and 86% (38 of 44 unique nominations) eventually earning induction. In 2022, the entire Top 5 earned induction – the only time that has happened.”
Once voting closes, the top seven artists in the Fan Vote will create what is called a “Fans’ Ballot.” It will be counted among the other ballots that various artists, historians, and music industry professionals fill out and submit.
