Move over Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy, a new favourite has now become the forerunner in the race to be the next 007 with UK bookies Coral revealing that indie film star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has made a landmark breakthrough as the potential next bond.

The 32-year-old actor from High Wycombe, who is known for a wide range of film genres spanning from action to dark comedy, has mainly starred in arthouse movies such as Anna Karenina but he has also made appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he played Quicksilver in The Age of Ultron.

He also starred alongside Brad Pitt in last year's high-profile blockbuster Bullet Train.
