It seems there’s been some clarification following rumors that emerged this morning about Aaron Taylor-Johnson being offered the role of James Bond.
According to a knowledgeable source that spoke with E! News, Taylor-Johnson has not actually been offered the role of 007 at this time. The outlet then notes that this doesn’t necessarily mean the actor would turn down the role of James Bond if it was offered to him, as he spoke to Esquire last year and neither confirmed or denied the possibility of being in talks for the role.
What was the most recent James Bond movie?
