As per the recent developments in the James Bond hunt, English actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, best known for essaying Marvel\u2019s character Pietro Maximoff in \u2018Avengers\u2019<\/em>, has been formally offered to step into the shoes of Daniel Craig as the British agent in a tuxedo.<\/p>\n

Reportedly, the offer is on the table with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who has not accepted it yet but will sign the contract soon, with the delayed film scheduled to go on the floors later this year.<\/p>\n

Quoting a source close to the production, a British tabloid exclusively reported, \u201cBond is Aaron\u2019s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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,\u201d the person added.<\/p>\n

Notably, Johnson\u2019s name first popped up in May last year as a favourite to replace Craig in the coveted role, when it was reported that he impressed the Bond boss Barbara Broccoli with his screen test at the Pinewood Studios. \u201cAaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him,\u201d an insider had confirmed.<\/p>\n

When asked about the speculations last week, the \u2018Kraven the Hunter\u2019<\/em> star said, \u201cI find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pertinent to mention here that Daniel Craig\u2019s five-film tenure as the 007 agent came to an end with\u00a0\u2018No Time To Die\u2019<\/em> (2021).<\/p>\n
