Aaron Taylor-Johnson may be the next James Bond and the internet was shaken, not stirred – 17 favourite reactions
After five Bond films, Daniel Craig has hung up the tuxedo, sent back the licence to kill, and ordered a pint of mild instead of a Martini. The question of who will fill his stylish and possibly poison-tipped shoes may well have been answered.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has reportedly been offered the role of James Bond.

At the time of writing, we have absolutely no idea whether he’ll be the next Bond, but we can say for certain that the news fired up the internet.

Just got a call with some bad news re: an audition I did a few months ago. Never a failure, always a lesson. Aaron if you see this – well deserved mate, make sure you have fun with it. We’re all rooting for you.

Oh, the new James Bond is that bloke who sneered at me in the kitchen when I went to see Rufus Wainwright at Sam Taylor Johnson's house. I bet he'll be good. Why don't they cast me as a baddie and then we can really fall out! Lol!

I won’t believe any new Bond casting announcement unless it’s at a hastily convened press briefing where the new guy arrives by torpedo launched from a nuclear class submarine. #JamesBond pic.twitter.com/pcfzm3WEA4

“A source” says “He is the perfect person to play Bond and will pick up well from where Daniel left off."
