Taylor-Johnson has experience doing the action role playing Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015), among others.
So far, Bond producers have not commented on the Taylor-Johnson rumors, which were reported by the Associated Press.
Lazenby noted that he doesn't think Taylor-Johnson has the role yet because 'when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a series of various tests and auditions before he won the role.'
The Aussie has the distinction of being the second actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond, though he had the shortest tenure of them, as he only starred in a single Bond film.
