‘Sun’ notes that Taylor-Johnson, also known for ‘Kick-Ass’ (‘Kick-Ass: Ready to Knock’), to sign a contract in the following days, which would officially make him the eighth James Bond.

This is what a source told the newspaper “Connection “It’s a job for Aaron, in case you want to take it.”

“The official offer is on table and they are waiting for him to respond,” said this source, who added that Eon believes he will soon sign to prepare the announcement.
