To me Taylor-Johnson isn't a 'big' name. In fact i had no idea what he looked like.

Plus it's still only tabloid rumour that he's even got the part. It wouldn't surprise me if all the final candidates filmed the 'gunshot opening' as part of their audition. I mean, he has to look right moving as Bond as well as dialogue wise.

Daniel Craig was far from a big name when he landed the job either, he was known for some indie UK films and TV, nothing huge, not like Dalton and Brosnan before him.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an interesting choice though, but I will admit that I skim read the beginning of the article and though it said Anya Taylor-Joy and I did a double take, I'm not against a lady 007 at all, but Anya wouldn't be it
