Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey may become the new James Bond

It was previously thought that Bond franchise would get a new actor, The Avengers and Godzilla star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, but it seems that the decision is still up in the air. Since the creators of the movie franchise have not officially announced the cast for many months, fans suspect that they are considering Jonathan Bailey, who played Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix series of the same name.

The 36-year-old Briton does not comment on the rumors, but his name is already among the top three, Metro.co.uk writes with reference to the Coral bookmaker. Previously, the actor's odds were 10/1, but now they are only 4/1.

Fans suspect that his successful role in Bridgerton was the reason why the producers of James Bond thought about changing the lead actor. There is also a theory that Aaron Taylor-Johnson did not find a common language with the team.

The fact that the announcement of the actor for the lead role was expected back in the spring and the start of filming of the new part of the 007 story was expected in the first half of 2024 is a cause for concern. However, none of this happened.
