In March, The Sun exclusively reported how Aaron, 34, had been formally offered the 007 role.
But the next Bond movie had been delayed because of last year’s Hollywood strikes.
And fans eager for James Bond to return to screens have been discussing who the next movie villain will be, and have landed on Jason Iaacs.
Isaacs famously played Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films.
And the 61-year-old actor has also starred in the likes of Peter Pan, The Patriot, Hotel Mumbai, A Cure for Wellness, Look Away, and has many more credits to his name.
And now fans are pleading for the star to take on the iconic James Bond villain role.
On social media, one person wrote: “Still hoping for Jason Isaacs. I don’t care how old he is.”
A second person penned: “Not too old to be a Bond villain perhaps…”
And a third wrote: “I’ve always really liked Jason Isaacs, and he plays a brilliant villain – I’d be very happy with him as the bad guy.”
Other 007 fans said Jason would’ve made a great James Bond himself.
There have been some truly memorable baddies over the years, and the bookies have given their tips on who will be the next one.
The part has been played by numerous actors, and is a key part of any 007 film.
Every Bond film sees the famous spy come up against an evil nemesis or two.
Irish star Cillian Murphy was previously being strongly tipped to take the lead role of James Bond.
However, now the bookies are putting the actor as the frontrunner to play the new Bond villain.
The Irishman is no stranger to portraying grisly characters, having played the ruthless Tom Shelby in Peaky Blinders.
The actor is also at the top of his game, having won the Best Actor Oscar for Oppenheimer not too long ago.
Other names in the villainous mix include Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman.
Since the Bond movie franchise kicked off in 1962, there have been some terrifying villains.
Joseph Wiseman’s Dr Julius No is the original Bond baddie, appearing in the first-ever movie apposite Sean Connery‘s 007 debut.
No one will ever forget Javier Bardem as the twisted Silva in Skyfall or Richard Kiel as Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me.
Another one of the earlier villains is Lotte Lenya who played Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love.
Goldeneye is widely regarded as one of the best 007 movies in the famous franchise and Sean Bean’s evil Alec Trevelyan is noted at helping the movie get that recognition.
However, it is Donald Pleasance’s Ernst Stavro Blofeld who is seen as the definitive Bond villain.
The character even inspired Mike Myers‘ Dr Evil character in the Austin Powers movies.
