Aaron Taylor Johnson Offered The Role Of James Bond

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to be the next James Bond, according to reports.



Famous for roles in films such as Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age Of Ultron, the 33-year-old actor is apparently yet to officially accept the iconic part, but a source told The Sun: "Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it."



The source added: "The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back."



Eon Productions, which produces the Bond films, is also said to be preparing to shoot a new 007 movie, with a script now being worked on.



The Sun's source added: "As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement."

Taylor-Johnson is "an incredibly talented actor," the source is also quoted as saying. They called him the "perfect person to play Bond and will pick up well from where Daniel Craig left off".



Taylor-Johnson was asked by Numero magazine last week about rumours linking him with the role. In response, he said: "I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment."

I mean I think he'd be a good fit.

[Kalmia]

I don't know. If you believe the rumors he's been offered the job five times by now. I'll believe it when it's announced.

Is the new requirement of the last 20 years that James Bond has to be under 6 ft?

I'm mostly kidding.

Honestly, after seeing him show some actual personality in Bullet Train I'm down with this, as long as the Bond franchise goes back to being fun rather than continuing the perpetually depressed route its been on for the last 18 years.

But he's gonna be so busy anchoring the Kraven franchise for the next 20 years! SHUT UP, IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!

Hey, at least he can't pull a Dakota Johnson and try to argue he was duped into believing it was a "real" MCU movie.

[Natural Born Farmer]

I'm not thrilled by this choice. Other than Kick Ass, I'm struggling to think of anything he's been in that I really enjoyed, and I don't think Kraven is going to change that.

Rather see Nicolas Hoult or Henry Cavill take the role, or maybe Damson Idris if they really want to take the character a different direction.

EON don't make public offers then wait for an answer. If they want him, it would be done privately. Personally I think he'd be a good choice.

He was my favorite in Bullet Train, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in Fall Guy in a couple months, so I hope this is true.
