Aaron Taylor-Johnson has responded to Bond rumours: “I don’t want my brand to be one action movie after another.”
The famous Hollywood star has been rumoured to play the next 007.
The actor has been “formally offered the opportunity” to play the iconic British spy.

However, the 33-year-old has not officially accepted the role as of yet.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone UK magazine, the actor opened up about his thoughts on the role.
Aaron spoke to the outlet about his previous role in a Marvel movie and his future career: “I don’t necessarily want this to be my brand, doing one action movie after another. But I trained to the point where I was 200 pounds of muscle. I ate so much f**king food. I was so big.”
“I’m doing normal life; dentist appointments. Career doesn’t necessarily take a back seat, but it takes a different thought behind the choices that you make. But you also discover characters you’re drawn to because of that, you’re not just some 20-year-old anymore. You unlock some secret thing… I don’t want a jobbing career.”
“You realise it’s your job to protect the purest, most innocent thing that’s come into the world. And it’s your duty to be their role model,” he explains.
“You are going to be reflected in their choices later on in life, from who their partners are to how they carry themselves in the world.”
If Aaron accepts the opportunity he would be the seventh actor to take on the lead in the Bond franchise.
According to The Sun: “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.”
“As 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.”
