Aaron Taylor-Johnson is being tipped as the next James Bond as he has reportedly filmed a version of the 007 films’ iconic gunshot opening.
The Kick-Ass actor, 32, was said to have shot the sequence on Sunday December 11 by The Sun, with Eon Productions set to reveal the spy franchise’s new star in March 2023 after Daniel Craig, 54, quit the Bond role.

It comes after The Sun said Taylor-Johnson had finished a “top secret screentest” for the part at Pinewood Studios.
A film source told the publication: “Aaron has impressed bosses so much that he has filmed one of the franchise’s famous gun barrel teaser scenes, something all the Bond actors do. That move takes him a step closer to signing a deal.
