It’s Taylor-Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Rumors are swirling that the Bullet Train actor is next in line to become M16’s most iconic spy. Should he accept the offer, Taylor-Johnson will become the eighth actor to take on James Bond after Daniel Craig’s 18-year-long stint as the character. Once officially announced, the casting will silence the fervent speculation of Idris Elba or a gender-swapped Lashana Lynch assuming the 007 moniker. 

A studio on this side of the pond is also on the hunt for a leading man — a leading man with an affinity for spinach and comically bulbous biceps. Chernin Entertainment and King Features are actively developing the first live-action Popeye film since Robin Williams’ take in 1980 — just in time for the iconic character’s 95th anniversary. It’s safe to assume that Anya Taylor-Joy’s phone is ringing off the hook to read for Olive Oyl. 

Meanwhile, the posters on the timeline are reprising their role as some of the funniest comedians out there. Today’s funniest tweets include those about guys who don’t mess around with fire-tending, the logical solution to defenestration and a missed opportunity for Hozier.
