Aaron Taylor-Johnson Rumoured to Be next James Bond

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is reportedly in talks to take on the prestigious role of James Bond in future films. Known for his roles in Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Taylor-Johnson, has not officially confirmed his acceptance of the role. But with much speculation in the rumour mill, it seems that the secret will soon be out.

Eon Productions, responsible for the Bond franchise, is rumoured to be awaiting Taylor-Johnson's response. According to a source, '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.'

The source also shared, 'Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it,' and praised Taylor-Johnson as a talented actor who would seamlessly carry on the iconic role, succeeding Daniel Craig.

When previously asked by Numero magazine about the rumours surrounding his potential casting, Taylor-Johnson expressed gratitude, 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.'

It's no secret that the 33-year-old actor has an impressive physique — yes, we're talking about that underwear campaign. However, his trainer recently shared that he trains 'four times a week with a weekly sports massage, bespoke nutrition and the option of clinical metabolic testing.’

If Taylor-Johnson accepts the role, he would follow in the footsteps of Bond hall of fame actors such as Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
