James Bond hopeful drops major clue he could be the next 007
The actor potentially set to become the next 007 may have already blown their cover and revealed they have secured the top gig as the secret agent.
Bond last hit screens in 2021's No Time To Die, a film which saw Daniel Craig play the role of the super agent for the fifth and final time on the silver screen.
With Craig bowing out on top in the role, much of the post-movie discussion centred around who may play Bond in future films. Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die. Pic: MGM/Eon/Danjaq/UPI/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock
And now Godzilla star Aaron Taylor-Johnson could be the chosen one for the role, with a new development catching well-trained eyes. Pic: MGM/Eon/Danjaq/UPI/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock
Rumours persisted prior to Amazon's purchase of the Bond film franchise that 34-year-old Johnson was the preferred choice of ex-Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.
And while the actor himself has previously been coy on speculation, his latest career move could be an indication of a good sign on the Bond end of things. Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Pic:Johnson this week joined the family of global ambassadors of Omega – the luxury watch brand which has appeared on the wrists of 007 actors for decades.
'I have always had an appreciation for timepieces but especially for Omega,' Johnson said via Instagram. 'Now, after visiting the factory, I am in awe of the skill required to manufacture such a luxurious product.' View this post on Instagram

While Johnson has the lead-in with the Bond timepiece manufacturer, perhaps the bookmakers are worth more of a glance to weigh up who else remains in the frame.
Theo James, star of The Divergent, currently heads the betting at 6/4.
Second favourite is Superman star Henry Cavill, with the 42-year-old priced at just 3/1 having been heavily linked with the role for the last number of years. Johnson then comes in at third in the betting at 7/2.
