Aaron Taylor-Johnson is being tipped as the next James Bond

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 32-year-old actor who starrred in Tenet, Kiss Ass and Bullet Train was said to have shot the sequence yesterday with Eon Productions set to reveal the spy franchise’s new star in March 2023 after Daniel Craig, 54, quit the Bond role.

Earlier this year, Idris Elba was said to have walked away from talks to be the next 007 to pursue “his own film franchise”.

With Elba out of the running, Henry Cavill, 39, and Rege-Jean Page, 34, were named as bookies’ favourites for the part.
