Chris Evans roots for Marvel co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson as next James Bond

Captain America star Chris Evans made his choice clear on who he would like to see stepping into the shoes of James Bond. He named his Marvel co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a suitable pick for the role of the British agent. Evans emphasised that he is a “big Aaron Taylor-Johnson guy.” 

Evans is currently promoting his upcoming film titled Ghosted with his co-star Ana de Armas. The film has released digitally. The co-stars recently did a WIRED interview together, where the guests are asked internet's most searched questions about them. When de Armas was asked if she is a Bond girl, the actress replied, “Yes, I am a Bond girl. I didn’t have a romantic story with Bond, which is usually what happens, but I am a Bond girl in No Time To Die.” 

The duo was further enquired if they have someone who they want to see as the next Bond, to which Evans replied, "I'll do it... I thought you were gonna say the next Bond girl. No, I'm a big Aaron Taylor-Johnson guy." Ana, on the other hand, suggested Normal People fame Paul Mescal as James Bond.
