Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who recently appeared alongside Brad Pitt in Bullet Train, revealed to Esquire magazine (via Variety ) that he turned down “Big and huge franchisesAfter starting to make a name for himself in Hollywood with roles in blockbusters such as Kick-Ass, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Godzilla. Although these releases made him one of Hollywood’s most famous young actors, he actively turned down franchise offers to spend more time with his family.
There was Kick-Ass, then there was Godzilla and The Avengers, and it was all coming to me. But I really didn’t care… and no one knew about it – there was a huge, huge franchise at stake. I wanted to be with my babies. I didn’t want to take it from them. I struggled with what that would look like.
“I would say that I probably wasn’t ready to be in that position – it was too early“, he continued about his participation in blockbusters. “But yeah, I didn’t care one bit either.“
Aaron Taylor Johnson He also said that he did not like to quickly switch between roles. And yet, so were his recent string of sequels: Kraven the Hunter, Autumn Boy and Nosferatu – three (next) films to go.There are only 24 hours between each “.
“In my opinion, an actor who goes from job to job becomes boring.he said. “You know someone will pick you up, take you to work, do your makeup, tell you, this is your sign. These are your lines. P*****, you’re awesome!’ And we move on to the next job. I’m sure people dream about it. If that’s what you want to do, great. It does not feed my soul. I like the normality of things, everyday life. Getting my kids ready in the morning, taking them to school and their activities, it’s a lot. It feeds my soul.“
Back to basics
However, the actor is returning to the world of big Hollywood productions with a lead role Raven hunter from Sony, set in the studio’s Spider-Man universe.
“To be honest, I thought I was done with movies like this“, he explained. “You can’t slip into that role, you can’t figure out what this franchise is about, “let’s see how it goes” with your ass between two chairs. You need to be mentally prepared for what might come next. I think I’m secure enough in my life now to know that I’m happy to handle it. I don’t think I was ready to invite that into my life then.“
Kraven The Hunter should see the light of day in our French cinemas on August 28, 2024.
