If Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff Kraven the Hunter or Universal’s Ryan Gosling two-hander The Fall Guy works, Taylor-Johnson might end up, ironically, too famous to take on Bond. ♬ Action, Mission Impossible Wind? - Isao Kaneko Since his breakthrough performance as John Lennon in the biopic Nowhere Boy, Taylor-Johson has risen through Hollywood, starring in blockbuster films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla, Tenet, Bullet Train, and Tom Ford’s thriller Nocturnal Animals, for which he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. However, many other actors such as Dan Stevens, Henry Cavill, and most notably Idris Elba, have been associated with the James Bond role, and Taylor-Johnson will be hoping that his upcoming projects won’t turn out to be his downfall in this aspiration. With no details released yet on the next James Bond entry, filming for Bond 26 likely won’t begin until 2024, which means that there’s a lot of time left before the producers settle on the next James Bond actor.
