Taylor-Johnson had a secret screen test with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli at Pinewood studios in November, and it went so well that an announcement of his casting is in the works for the Spring of 2023. Still a rumor, I guess, but who are we kidding here? There’s been no denial from Broccoli and company as word keeps spreading throughout the film world. As far as I’m concerned, it’s probably a done deal. You can read the Bond/Taylor-Johnson stories here, here, here, here and here. Taylor-Johnson would be succeeding Daniel Craig. I had my doubt about Craig’s casting but he surprisingly delivered two of the best movies of this five decade plus franchise: “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall.” I never had high expectations for this franchise to begin with, but those two movies were aces. Some of the actors who had been rumoured for Bond in the last year included Henry Cavill, Regé Jean-Page, Tom Hardy, James Norton and Chiwetel Ejiofor. I would have chosen Idris Elba but last year he walked away from ‘years of talks’ with Broccoli. Contribute Hire me
