Taylor-Johnson's recent comments have sparked increased speculation. In a recent interview with Numero Magazine, he expressed appreciation for the recognition, saying, "I'm truly flattered and thrilled that audiences envision me in that particular role. It's truly an honor."
This isn't the first time Taylor-Johnson's name has been linked to the role. Reports suggest that he has previously impressed producers with secret auditions, following Craig's exit last January. Additionally, there are whispers that he may have filmed the iconic "gun-barrel teaser footage," a move that would signify significant progress in the casting process.
Adding to the intrigue, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has just finished shooting Marvel's Kraven The Hunter, portraying the titular character and iconic Spider-Man adversary. Furthermore, he is set to star in The Fall Guy alongside Ryan Gosling, demonstrating his exceptional range and talent as an actor.
