Bullet Train actor responds to 007 rumors: I don't want to determine my future

It was recently reported that Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the actor who starred in "Bullet Train", "Kick-Ass" and played Quicksilver in Marvel's "Avengers", has been invited to play the classic spy character James Bond in the next "007" movie.

The 33-year-old British actor recently responded to the reports, but did not confirm or deny them. He told Rolling Stone that he could not discuss the matter: "I can only really talk about what I have coming up and what I will be showing and telling." These projects include "The Fall Guy (starring Gosling)", "Nosferatu" and "Kraven the Hunter".

He also discussed his career, saying, "I don't feel like I need to set a course for myself. I feel like: whatever I set out to do, I can do it better."

He has not confirmed or denied the rumours that he is in talks to play Bond. There really is nothing certain at this stage. The Sun reported earlier that he may have signed a deal to play the role this week. A source told the publication: "Bond will go to Aaron if he is willing to take it. A formal offer has been put on the table and they are waiting for a response."

“As far as (production company) Eon is concerned, Allen will be signing the contract in the coming days and they can already start preparing for the big announcement.”

Another media outlet, Deadline, reported that a source within Eon said: "If the company spends a lot of time responding to reports about who will replace Daniel Craig as 007, then the company will not have time to do anything."
