A spanner has been thrown in the works for Aaron Taylor-Johnson as his dreams of becoming the next James Bond seem to be over according to AI.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson's hopes of filling Daniel Craig's James Bond shoes may be no more.

Earlier this year, reports suggested the 34-year-old actor had already been offered the role by writer Barbara Broccoli but these rumours were shut down by Eon Productions.

Despite almost five years passing since Daniel announced he would be leaving Bond's tuxedos behind him, creators are yet to confirm who his successor will be.

Aaron remains a firm favourite for the role but with new data put together with the help of AI, it seems he may have a fight on his hands to properly secure it.

The Bullet Trai star is up against several other big names who have been thrown into the conversation including James Norton, Damson Idris, Rege-Jean Page, Henry Cavill, and Theo James to name a few.

Thanks to the combination of ChatGPT, Gemini, Bing AI, and a prediction from Coin Poker it's Damson who is most likely to take on the mission of being the next Bond.

The 32-year-old actor is best known for his role in the series Snowfall but he is also famous for starring in big hits such as Netflix's Black Mirror, Swarm, Outside the Wire and The Twilight Zone.

Neil Roarty, Content Lead at Coin Poker, commented on the AI prediction and the new data, stating: "It comes as no surprise at all to see AI predict that Damson Idris will be the next James Bond.

"Idris is a renowned British actor who fits the Bond bill perfectly, hence why he has been picked as the next 007."

It's unlikely frontrunner Aaron's odds will be affected by the data, however, as he still remains fans' number one.

The Kick-Ass actor has previously addressed the rumours, telling Numero magazine that he found it "charming and wonderful that people see me in that role".

He also described the swirling speculation as "a great compliment".
