Aaron Taylor-Johnson Cuts Interview Short After Being Asked If He's Playing James Bond

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has starred in numerous high-profile movies, including Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age of Ultron, and has been rumored to play the next James Bond for some time now. But it appears that Taylor-Johnson is becoming more annoyed by people asking him if he'll be the next 007.

In an interview with the Associated Press, the actor was asked if he is getting sick of being asked about the Bond rumors. After being asked, he jokingly responded with, "You sick of asking the question?" This prompted the interviewer to respond by saying, "I want to know. So no." The two then shared a laugh, but once that was over, he cut the interview short, walking away with a simple, "Alright, have a good one."

Taylor-Johnson has been tight-lipped about whether he'll be the next Bond for the last month. In a previous interview, he was asked the same question and responded by saying, "I can only really talk about the other things I'm going to show and tell."

Some fans are excited about Taylor-Johnson potentially playing 007 because of 2022's Bullet Train. In the film, his character carries himself very similarly to how James Bond does in several of the 007 movies.

Daniel Craig was the most recent actor to take on the role of Bond. Throughout his time, he has had five different films, starting in 2006 with Casino Royale and ending in 2021 with No Time To Die. This ended with the death of Craig's Bond, which would naturally set up the next franchise. The 26th James Bond movie has yet to be officially announced, but it's been rumored to enter production sometime this year.
