This Netflix movie proves Aaron Pierre would be an amazing James Bond

by

According to whispers, Aaron Pierre could be the new James Bond, and a Netflix film seems to support this idea by implying he’d be an ideal fit.

4 years have passed since the release of the last James Bond film “No Time to Die”, and there’s been no news about the production of a new one, not to mention who will take on the role of 007 in the upcoming installment.

Fans adore Idris Elba, there’s been persistent talk about Henry Cavill over time (putting aside his less-than-ideal audition experience from earlier on), and bookmakers are leaning towards Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a top choice.

According to a recent report by Daniel Richtman, Aaron Pierre is another potential candidate under consideration. Furthermore, a 2024 Netflix film implies that he would be an excellent fit for the part.

Aaron Pierre gives true James Bond vibes in Rebel Ridge

In August 2024, the movie “Rebel Ridge” made its debut on Netflix, quickly earning critical praise and a remarkable Rotten Tomatoes rating of 95%.

In the narrative penned and orchestrated by Jeremy Saulnier, the plot revolves around a character named Terry Richmond who intends to free his cousin from prison. However, upon arriving in Shelby Springs, Terry experiences a series of unfortunate events. First, he is forced off the road by the local police force, followed swiftly by being robbed by these same officers, and eventually ends up getting arrested himself.

However, Richmond won’t surrender passively, so when the ex-marine retaliates, it soon becomes evident that Shelby Springs picked a formidable opponent.

The movie “Rebel Ridge” offers an incredibly engaging blend of action and thrill, with a strong influence from “First Blood.” Like the Sylvester Stallone film, its success hinges on the portrayal of the unconventional hero, and Aaron Pierre perfectly embodies Terry Richmond.

In the Rebel Ridge review, we expressed that Pierre’s acting is nothing short of astonishing. His performance carries an air of newfound stardom; massive and imposing yet gracefully charming, similar to Reacher, but with an added level of politeness.

The nature of his work implies that the 31-year-old could indeed be an ideal fit for the role of Bond. He stands tall and possesses an undeniable charm, traits essential for this position. Moreover, he embodies the charisma that the character requires.

In the film, he’s incredibly capable and easily outmatches anyone who challenges him, much like Bond. His intellect shines brightly, making it clear that he’s the sharpest mind in any given room, a trait Bond often possesses. He executes everything smoothly, just as one would expect from a seasoned super-spy.

You don’t need to just believe us. The Guardian also praised his performance, stating that it marks a significant breakthrough for the British actor Pierre. He was exceptional as an influential figure who maintains composure until he has no other choice but to let loose all chaos.

Pierre effectively captures the dual qualities of Terry’s tutelage – the discipline and exactness on one hand, and the underlying tension that adds depth to his character, making him consistently relatable and compassionate.

Although The Observer wasn’t particularly fond of that movie, they did express praise for the actor by saying, “Quickly give this actor an action franchise!

Currently, he holds the role of John Stewart in the upcoming superhero series titled “Lanterns.” This part is expected to lead to movies as well. However, when he’s not using the Green Lantern ring, you might find him wielding James Bond’s Walther PPK. As demonstrated in “Rebel Ridge,” he seems tailor-made for that position.
