Aaron Taylor-Johnson is being tipped as the next James Bond as he has reportedly filmed a version of the 007 films’ iconic gunshot opening.
The ‘Kick-Ass’ actor, 32, was said on Sunday (11.12.22) by The Sun to have shot the sequence, with Eon Productions set to reveal the spy franchise’s new star in March 2023 after Daniel Craig, 54, quit the Bond role.
It comes after The Sun said Aaron had finished a “top secret screen test” for the part at Pinewood Studios.
A film source told the publication: “Aaron has impressed bosses so much that he has filmed one of the franchise’s famous gun barrel teaser scenes, something all the Bond actors do. That move takes him a step closer to signing a deal.
“Bosses at the brand were really impressed with his unique blend of acting intensity and his impressive back catalogue of action films.”
Aaron, who has starred in ‘Tenet’ and ‘Bullet Train’ is now at 4/5 odds will bookmaker William Hill to be named the next 007.
