Aaron Taylor-Johnson reportedly becomes the frontrunner to take over from Daniel Craig as James Bond.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has reportedly emerged as the new frontrunner to become the next James Bond.

Daniel Craig stepped down as 007 in the most recent movie in the franchise, No Time To Die, and the hunt is now on to find his successor.

According to The Sun, 32-year-old Taylor-Johnson - known for the Kick-Ass movies - has been holding talks with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli in recent months as execs look to hone in on a final decision.

A source told the newspaper: "Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him.

"He is now one of the frontrunners."

Other actors linked with the role include Henry Cavill, Rege-Jean Page, James Norton, Tom Hardy and Richard Madden.
