When Daniel Craig stepped down as James Bond after the discharge of the 2021 movie, “No Time to Die,” followers all over the place have been trying to find the subsequent actor worthy to be 007.
The Root even recommended a number of actors who would match the position, together with Damson Idris, Regé-Jean Web page, Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, and Kingsely Ben-Adir.
However after sitting again and paying attention to the actors who’ve separated themselves from the pack, we’re seeing a sample amongst one explicit actor. Is it a coincidence that Aaron Pierre, the British actor, is all over the place proper now and notably in motion pictures that present his particular skills? In different phrases, is Pierre being groomed to be the subsequent undercover agent for the British Secret Service (MI6)?
It’s our principle however please hear us out. In his position as Terry Richmond within the 2024 movie “Insurgent Ridge,” Pierre proved he has the bodily chops to chop it as Bond.
Simply watch this combat scene from the film and picture Pierre in a tux as a substitute of informal clothes. He can squabble with the very best of them.
Moreover, he’s proven that he has the performing chops by means of his number of roles. He’s performed a badass former marine (“Insurgent Ridge”), an enslaved Black man within the 1800s (“The Underground Railroad”), Malcolm X (“Genius: MLK/X”), and even a lion cub (“Mufasa: The Lion King”).
The truth that none of those roles are like the opposite exemplifies his ability set as a film star.
Lastly, (and perhaps most significantly), he’s acquired the appears. Whereas it is probably not crucial a part of being 007, Bond is an notorious girl killer who can have virtually any girl he needs. It’s what makes him a flawed and attention-grabbing character as a result of oftentimes the ladies he falls for get him into a great deal of bother. In case you go on any social media platform, there are literally thousands of girls all the time fawning over the younger man. Simply test TikTok each day and a number of other edits spotlight his appears.
Not that he wanted our assist, since he’s already doing fairly effectively for himself. However we’ve solid our vote. Pierre is the way forward for 007.
