Former James Bond star George Lazenby (“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”) shared that “Avengers: Age of Ultron” star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has everything he needs to take the 007 mantle. Lazenby told TMZ that Taylor-Johnson will be able to handle all the stunts necessary to shine in the role — and to handle the so-called “Bond girls.”

Rumors that Taylor-Johnson will be the next actor to portray Bond have swirled in recent days. The role was most recently played by Daniel Craig, who ended his run in 2021’s “No Time to Die.”

Producers have not commented on the Taylor-Johnson rumors and Lazenby himself noted that he didn’t think Taylor-Johnson had the part just yet.
