Taylor-Johnson. Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Proving the industry’s significant recognition, the British actor has reportedly received a formal offer to replace Daniel Craig in the franchise and to become the new James Bond. This would be a fair reason to recall his five best works, for which he gained not only popularity and great public love, but also the coveted role of an action hero.
Nowhere Boy (2009)
Where to watch: Amazon and Apple TV+
In this biopic, young Taylor-Johnson took the heavy burden of playing one of the most beloved musicians of the previous century, John Lennon, in his teenage years full of inner conflicts and growing desire to create music to express himself so that he’d heard by his soulmates all around the world, which he succeeded in brilliantly.
Kick-Ass (2010)

Where to watch: Netflix and Prime
Drastically different from the actor’s today’s roles and, especially, from the one of a witty agent, this black comedy, based on Marvel Comics, features a nerdy teenager who sets out to become a real-life superhero, calling himself Kick-Ass, who since then has become an iconic character due to Taylor-Johnson’s appealing acting and humor.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Where to watch: Disney+ and Apple TV+
In the second chapter of the Avengers saga he stars as Pietro Maximoff, more known as Quicksilver, who can move at superhuman speed. The role in the MCU has become an important achievement for the actor and the conclusion of his superhero arc, to which he convincingly proved to belong as quite a catching and charismatic performer.
Nocturnal Animals (2016)

Where to watch: Netflix and Apple TV+
As said in the given Bond franchise’s announcement, it was Taylor-Johnson’s role in Tom Ford’s neo-noir thriller Nocturnal Animals that “showed his depth as an actor”. Indeed, his thrilling portrayal of a psychopathic leader of a criminal gang was so enrapturing that he got not only much public praise, but also won the Golden Globe Award.
Bullet Train (2022)
Where to watch: Netflix and Prime
Another action comedy in the actor’s arsenal featured him in the role of an assassin called Tangerine, where he fitted with great ease and high-class irony, showing his brutality in a mix with awkwardness of a comical fruit-named character.
