James Bond producers insist they HAVEN'T cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the new 007 as speculation over who will win the role continues


Insiders have denied reports that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been cast as the new James Bond.

The initial report suggested that the deal was all but done with Aaron who was on the verge of officially accepting the role of a lifetime, which would have made him only the seventh actor to play the iconic British secret agent since the franchise launched in 1962. A recent poll suggested Idris Elba was still the public's number one choice for the role, despite being 51 - old for a Bond candidate - and already ruling himself out of the running in order to focus on his crime drama, Luther (pictured last week) And he will also be appearing in the hotly anticipated remake of 1922 gothic horror Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers and featuring a star-studded cast, including Bill SkarsgÄrd, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe.
