Aaron Taylor-Johnson Transforms! 'Werwulf' Role Shakes Up Bond Chances?
Colaboradores
Robert Eggers, the director known for atmospheric and unsettling period pieces like 'The Witch' and 'The Northman,' is gearing up for his next project: 'Werwulf.' This medieval werewolf movie, slated for a Christmas Day 2026 release, promises to be Eggers' darkest work yet.
'Nosferatu' Reunion on the Horizon
Excitingly, 'Werwulf' is shaping up to be a reunion of sorts. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who starred in Eggers' recent 'Nosferatu' remake, is confirmed to star. Lily-Rose Depp, also a lead in 'Nosferatu,' is in talks to join the cast as well. This suggests Eggers sees something special in their talent and wants to continue exploring their potential on screen.
Taylor-Johnson's Rising Star
Taylor-Johnson's career is on a roll, with increasingly complex roles like his recent appearance in '28 Years Later.' His collaboration with Eggers on 'Nosferatu' clearly left a positive impression, leading to this new opportunity in 'Werwulf'.
Will 'Werwulf' Impact Bond Aspirations?
However, this role could potentially impact Taylor-Johnson's chances of becoming the next James Bond. He's been a fan favorite and a strong contender for the 007 mantle. The demanding schedule and intensity of filming 'Werwulf' might create scheduling conflicts or alter perceptions of him as a potential Bond. The casting for James Bond is a long and arduous process, and the filming of Werwulf could interfere.
The film is being produced by Focus Features and co-written by Sjón, with whom Eggers previously collaborated on 'The Northman'. The Christmas Day 2026 release date is set for North America.
