The Sun is back on its Aaron Taylor-Johnson kick. The tabloid said Monday night that Taylor-Johnson, 33, has been offered the role of James Bond by Eon Productions.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid, citing "insiders," said Eon is waiting to hear back from the actor.
The Sun also said Bond 26 "is on course to start shooting this year" and that "a script was now being worked on."
Over the past two years, the tabloid has gone from saying Idris Elba was being considered (June 2022), to saying Taylor-Johnson was a "surprise frontrunner" to play Bond (November 2022) to saying Cillian Murphy, 47, was "the new favorite" to play Bond (this month). The Monday night article only referenced The Sun's November 2022 story.
Taylor-Johnson's IMDB.COM ENTRY lists 51 acting credits, including Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
There has been little Bond 26 news, with Barbara Broccoli and Gregg Wilson of Eon saying there was no active development occurring. Daniel Craig held the Bond role for five Eon-produced films, ending with 2021's No Time to Die.
