As others have asked, why is it safe to assume?
I myself wouldn’t be interested in seeing a Bond film with Page OR ATJ.
Any guesses before you find out ?
Bet it's someone from Australia. Or alternatively Henry Cavill.
Who is it out of interest?
Yes, and, in a roundabout way, yes as well 😅
Think it was Liam Hemsworth.
Why would he suggest a wet paper bag to be the next Bond? Odd choice, that.
Absolutely. If I had to pick a Hemsworth it would be Chris.
He said he was taking time off from actor. Don't know that he would commit to something this long in addition to Thor.
So it was! Not sold on that choice myself.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is close to securing the role of James Bond in the latest iteration of the character after three intense meetings and a successful screen test. According to our trusted and proven sources, the Bullet Train actor is at the penultimate step of becoming the next 007 after months of speculation and increasing reports that he is in high contention for the role.
Is anyone familiar with this site?
Supposedly it tends to be more bs than truth. But every now and then they have a true story. I’m surprised that we don’t know directors or other writers yet.
Those would have to be hired first, before any actors are auditioned. So why is no one dropping "scoops" on them?
Because everyone knows that it will be Purvis and Wade writing. Maybe they’ll direct this time.
To put this "scoop" into context, before Christmas this site released a story to say "The next James Bond will be a person of colour" .

One, if not both, of the stories are wrong I think they've just embellished on the ATJ rumours and there's no merit to their story
Here's a video of him winking when a reporter jokingly calls him Bond:
Right man for the job if they're leaning towards campy.
The Giant Freaking Robot article says ATJ has had 3 meetings which is new info. Claimed to be vetted by their own sources.
Giantfreakinrobot is not reliable at all.
Oh come on that's very vague at best! Certainly not enough to say it's between him and ATJ!
Films like this give crime comedies a bad rep.
Click bait.
I think you're grasping at straws with that one. He's on a red carpet. That's how actors react. In fact, it's quite clever of him. A wink means he's acknowledging the reporter but doesn't have to say anything.
I have serious reservations about choosing a guy who more or less got out of his school uniform to marry a mother of two more than twice his age playing the freewheeling adventurous machismo that is James Bond, writes Nicholas Sheppard.

Aren't most films 'redundant', though? Isn't the film business 1% art and 99% commercial anyway? I don't think Bullet Train is innovative, ground-breaking, or artistically relevant. But it's a perfectly enjoyable film to a lot of people, albeit a film that conflates tons of things we've seen before. I equate this to a sugary soft drink. It's the same mass-produced stuff, lacking the subtlety of exclusive wines, but under a hot son and when craving someting sweet, the 'redundant' stuff can be perfectly satisfying.
The first time I watched Bullet Train i didn't like it but the second time i watched it i liked it.
What a load of old crap. Just because he hasn't lived like 007 he can't play 007? Someone introduce this guy to the concept of 'acting'.
After method acting, biographical acting.
