The BBC has approached Taylor-Johnson and Eon Productions for comment, and a production insider told BBC News there was "no truth in the rumours".

I believe this is what the tweet was based on.

Not giving credence to this. But if it were true, this has to be the youngest Bond by a large margin, right?
George Lazenby was 29 when OHMSS came out.
Sean Connery was only 32 in Dr. No.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be 33 if cast.
Daniel Craig was 37.
Timothy Dalton was 41.
Pierce Brosnan was 42.
Roger Moore was 45.

Damn, nvm.
29 hit a lot different back thenDefinitely Not A Cop said:

Completely uninspired choice, imo.
Seems very underwhelming on the surface. Granted the Daniel Craig reception wasnt great at the time he was announced, but he at least proved he had the chops with Layer Cake. But I will trust EON.
For me, Daniel Craig was an out of left field choice simply because I hadn't seen much of him.
In this case, I've seen him plenty, and he's never impressed me. He's been kind of bland in every movie I've seen him.

A scene from bullet train.
I'm not familiar with his stuff at all. He's got a David Beckham pitched voice. Eeesh.
Yep. That voice is not at all a Bond voice.
According to Eon, a choice hasn't been made.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I think it'd be a great choice.

"Wasn't great" is an understatement. There was almost a large-scale revolt when Craig was chosen. The site Craignotbond.com was huge, and Craig showing up to the opening presser in a life preserver caused British media to go berserk.
ATJ is underwhelming in a lot of things but he was scary in nocturnal animals, and great in Bullet Train. He's got something, you just don't really see it in Kick-Ass, Age of Ultron or (from what I hear) Godzilla.
Love this for ATJ! He'll be great as Bond.
He is a strong actor in what I have seen him in. I am sure he would do well. His performance in Nocturnal Animals is memorable.
I truly have barely even heard his name before. I saw 20 minutes of Bullet Train and stopped and the same of Tenet and stopped.
I think I mix him and Anya Taylor Joy up

Deadline has cast doubt on the report about Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing the next Bond.

“A source at EON sagely pointed out to Deadline, if it spent its days reacting to reports about who is replacing Daniel Craig as 007, it would have time for little else,”… pic.twitter.com/poMiFgET3f
My guess is we're still a year or two away from anyone being cast. As far as we know, they don't have writers, a script, director, or even a general take/direction yet. And I would think they'd need most of those things before offering the role to anyone, especially a role of this magnitude, requiring a ten-year commitment or so.
As far as the next James Bond is concerned, it seems the name’s Taylor-Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Or at least that’s what British tabloid The Sun would have us believe https://t.co/cYWqOdqrYF

Nope.
EON's non-denial is interesting, and it sounds like there could be some behind-the-scenes developments by now. That said, I would be shocked if creatives have been hired and a direction has been settled without even a morsel of it leaking, but who knows…
I thought it was going to be Idris Elba and so was looking forward to that.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Is this their Mark Stoops moment?
I figure he's too old for the part. I think the bond actor should be around 35, so you can get a few movies out of him before he looks too old (thinking Roger Moore here)bonfarr said:

I think the guy in "The Gentlemen" series (Theo James) would be a good James Bond.
I loved the Roger Moore movies, even though he was on the older end of things as far as Bond goes. Plus, Elba at 51 in today's day and age is essentially the same if not "younger" than Roger Moore at 45.DrEvazanPhD said:I figure he's too old for the part.

MATTHEW VAUGHN is the “top choice” to direct the next JAMES BOND movie, according to @DanielRPK https://t.co/uuWGxSKRwA pic.twitter.com/Fxs56tbusb

Would not be opposed to this.

I agree, that's not inspiring at all. What are your rankings of Bond movie directors (past)? And what's your Top 3 list of who you would like for directing the next movie?
No that's Joseph Gordon Levitt
