Eon Productions has reportedly offered the opportunity to be the next James Bond to British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, according to a publication in the U.K.
The news comes after Daniel Craig starred in the iconic role of 007 for more than a decade, starting with “Casino Royale” in 2006 before making “Quantum of Solace” in 2008, “Skyfall” in 2012, “Spectre” in 2015, and “No Time to Die” in 2021.
“Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back,” a source told The Sun. “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.”
Other top candidates for the role reportedly included Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, and James Norton.
