“Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him. He is now one of the front-runners.” Supposedly, there will be no “Jane Bond.” He will remain a male spy agent. I had my doubt about Daniel Craig, but he surprisingly delivered in two of the best movies of this five decade plus franchise: “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall.” I don’t ask much from this series but those two movies were aces. Bookmakers William Hill have placed Henry Cavill at the top as their odds-on favourite with 5/2, followed by Regé Jean-Page with odds of 4/1, Tom Hardy and James Norton both with 6/1 and Chiwetel Ejiofor at 7/1. Johnson can probably now be added near the top. This follows reports that Idris Elba walked away from ‘years of talks’ with Broccoli to become the new James Bond. Contribute Hire me
