Los Angeles, California - Is Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson the next 007? According to a bombshell new report, the decision on who will take over the James Bond movie series has finally been made!

Per The Sun, the 33-year-old Marvel actor has been offered the role following Daniel Craig's emotional departure.

EON Productions, which makes 007 films, is said to be preparing to start shooting later this year.

"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," the source added.

The chatter surrounding who would portray Agent 007 began after Craig ended his 15-year run with the 2021 flick No Time to Die.

The huge news will come as a disappointment to fans of fellow English star Idris Elba, who was also persistently eyed to take over the Bond franchise.
