Aaron Taylor-Johnson breaks silence on James Bond role at 28 Years Later premiere
Aaron Taylor Johnson was asked about his next project at the premiere of his latest film, 28 Years Later Aaron Taylor-Johnson has a lot to live up to as the star of 28 Years Later. He follows on from incredible performances by Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later and Scots actor Robert Carlyle in the sometimes forgotten sequel, 28 Weeks Later. However, no matter how good the Bullet Train star is in the new Danny Boyle-directed zombie film, it's what he's up to next that is on everyone's mind. For years, Taylor-Johnson has been rumoured to be the next James Bond and the actor has now finally broken his silence on whether or not this is actually going to happen. During a brief interview on the red carpet for 28 Years Later, the 35 year old was asked directly by Deadline what his next project is. The actor gave a coy smile and simply replied "I can't talk about it" before turning away from the interviewer. The brief interaction was posted on X, with many social media users claiming that his refusal to speak could mean he has secured the role as the next 007 and is hinting at it by saying he "can't talk about it". One user replied: "He's my number one hope for the next James Bond. Really hoping for a solid 10-15 years of him in that role." Another echoed: "James Bond baby." A third chimed in: "Please let it be Bond." Someone else agreed: "Bond... James Bond #Bond26." Meanwhile, another wrote: "Bond confirmed then." A fifth suggested: "Either Bond or back for Avengers." Another person agreed with this theory, adding: "This will mean he's doing a Marvel thing then." It's plausible the star could be involved in a different franchise, having been the original Quicksilver in the Marvel Universe. Other fan suggestions of his next secret project include a Bullet Train prequel or even Kick Ass 3. However, the idea that's he is the next James Bond is starting to feel a lot more possible. The new 007 film is currently in development by Amazon/MGM. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman are prepping the film in London and while rumours are still flying about who may be the next Bond, Taylor-Johnson remains the favourite. The actor's latest film 28 Years Later sees Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer taking the leading roles as a husband and pregnant wife named Jamie and Isla, alongside their son Spike. The third instalment in the 28 Days Later series is set nearly three decades after the Rage Virus outbreak and follows a group of survivors living on the tidal island of Lindisfarne. Despite not even being released in cinemas yet, the film has already received glowing reviews from critics with an impressive 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This rating surpasses the original 28 Days Later hit film (2002), starring Cillian Murphy, which holds a Certified Fresh score of 87%. Additionally, the movie had a critics' score of 72% and an audience score of 66%. 28 Years Later is in cinemas from June 20

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Fuels Bond Rumours With This Awkward 28 Years Later Red Carpet Moment
Aaron Taylor-Johnson… will you just spill already? It's now been well over a year since speculation went into overdrive about whether the Bullet Train actor would be taking over the role of James Bond in the iconic spy franchise, following Daniel Craig's final outing in 2021's No Time To Die. It seemed we finally had our answer in March 2024 when an unnamed 'source' told The Sun that the Tenet star had been offered the gig. However, this was then cast into doubt just one day later, when a 'production insider' told BBC News there was 'no truth in the rumours'. Despite the ongoing mystery, Aaron is hardly helping put our racing minds to rest. Appearing on the red carpet at the world premiere of his new film 28 Years Later in London on Wednesday, the actor was asked by Deadline what he was up to next. Aaron Taylor-Johnson declined answering a question about what he's doing next during the #28YearsLater world premiere. 'I can't talk about it,' he said as he was being escorted away — Deadline (@DEADLINE) June 18, 2025 He coyly replied that he 'can't talk about it' before being whisked away by a member of his publicity team. But while neither party actually mentioned James Bond, Aaron's response had everyone in agreement that he was only adding more fuel to the speculation fire… it's time — Cinema Tweets (@CinemaTweets1) June 18, 2025 i wonder how he likes his martinis — santeagu 🇧🇷 (@SanteaguArt) June 19, 2025 Oh... — Gaby Rogut 🇲🇽 🏳️🌈🩷💜💙 (@gabyfilmmaker) June 19, 2025 James Bond confirmed — Bobby Dollars (@BLKGLFNKS) June 19, 2025 Its gonna be bond isnt it? — santinerino (@santinorubano) June 19, 2025 — Frankly, my dear ⚜ (@Carenfc) June 19, 2025 he's definitely bond, isn't he? — ellie ﾟ𐦍༘⋆ (@cinebutlers) June 19, 2025 — That Viking Gamer (@VikingGamer_) June 19, 2025 Please God.

2 . Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 5/2 Aaron Taylor-Johnson had previously been favourite to become the next Bond for months, following news reports that he had agreed to play the iconic role. There's been silence since though, and the lack of an official announcement has cast doubt on his involvement - particularly since Amazon took over creative control of the franchaise. Best known for playing the title character in the 'Kick-Ass' films, Taylor-Johnson also starred opposite Brad Pitt in 'Bullet Train' and is soon to be seen in horror sequel '28 Years Later'. He's now back up to second favourite at 5/2 to step into 007's shoes. |

Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project Leaps Ahead With 1,400-Tonne Bridge Installation
Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train Project: India's much-awaited and dream project Bullet Train is now progressing at a rapid pace after delays. Indian Railways on Monday shared that the National High-Speed Rail Corporation, the implementing agency of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, achieved successful installation of 8th out of 28 steel bridges necessary for the completion of the project. This comes at a time when the Indian Railways' infrastructure is undergoing massive transformation across India. Major Leap Sharing details of the bridge, the Indian Railways said, "A 100m long, 1,400-tonne 'Make in India' steel bridge has been launched over DFC tracks near Bharuch for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project. This is the 8th of 17 such bridges in Gujarat marking a major leap in high-speed Rail infrastructure." The bridge is launched using 84 meter-long launching nose, which weighs around 600 metric tons. The NHSRCL said that the fabrication of the bridge was done in Trichy. "As the 8th of 28 'Make in India' steel bridges planned along the bullet train corridor, it reflects precision engineering—from fabrication in Trichy to phased launching over active freight lines," it said. A 100 m long steel bridge, weighing 1,400 tons, has been successfully launched over the DFC tracks near Bharuch, Gujarat. — NHSRCL (@nhsrcl) June 16, 2025 "The fabrication utilized approx. 55,300 Nos. of Tor-Shear Type High Strength (TTHS) bolts with C5 system painting and elastomeric bearings being designed for a 100-year lifespan. The bridge was assembled at the site at a height of 18 m from the ground on temporary trestles and was pulled with automatic mechanism of 2 semi-automatic jacks, each of capacity of 250 tons using mac-alloy bars," said the Ministry of Railways. Station Construction Update Earlier, the NHSRCL shared a video of the construction of the Vapi Bullet Train station. It said that the station features 'bold design' showing 'pulse of the progress'. The Indian Railways also shared a video in April showing progress work - from foundational work to finishing touches - of the Bilimora Bullet Train Station in Gujarat.

Turn up the volume and feel the pulse of progress! — NHSRCL (@nhsrcl) June 12, 2025 From foundational work to finishing touches, Bilimora #BulletTrain Station, Gujarat, is steadily advancing towards a future of turbocharged, high-speed Rail connectivity. — Ministry of Railways (@RailMinIndia) April 17, 2025 Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had earlier said that the work on the BKC station in Mumbai, the origin station for the bullet train, has been progressing rapidly.
