Rumors may not be true
James Bond bosses have publicly responded to rumors this week that a British actor has been officially cast in the iconic spy role.
The question of who will be the next James Bond has been swirling around the film industry ever since Daniel Craig fell on his sword in No Time to Die.
The likes of Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Reggie Jean Page, Tom Holland and, most recently, Cillian Murphy have all been linked to the role.
Meanwhile, fans have been calling for Theo James to get a license to kill after his performance in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen.
But, according to new reports, the search for the next Bond is finally over.
Bond bosses are reportedly “officially offering” the role after Aaron Taylor-Johnson impressed producers.
The “Kick-Ass” actor has reportedly been cast in the iconic role by film production company Eon Productions and will take up the role “in the coming days.”
A source told The Sun that this will take place before filming begins on the next film later this year.
They told the publication: “Bond is a job for Aaron if he takes it. Formal offers are on the table and they are awaiting a response.
“As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron will be signing the contract in the next few days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”
However, a production insider from the James Bond team told the BBC that “there is no truth to the rumors”.
Tyler-Johnson has long been considered one of the frontrunners for the role, having previously acted a bit mysterious when asked about rumors linking him to Bond.
Back in August, Esquire asked him if he had been in talks with producers to become the next James Bond.
In this regard, he said: “I only focus on what I can have in my hands now.
“What's in front of me now.”
In addition to his role in “Kick-Ass,” Taylor-Johnson is also known for starring roles in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Angus, G-Strings, and Perfect Kisses,” “Tenet” and “Bullet Train.” famous for movies.
