The name’s Taylor-Johnson. Aaron Taylor-Johnson. OK, that might be a bit of a mouthful but the Kraven the Hunter actor is being pushed by former 007 Pierce Brosnan to play the next James Bond.

What do you think of Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the next James Bond? Does he have what it takes to usher in the next era?
