If Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven The Hunter Is Successful, Multiple Sequels Could Follow

Kraven The Hunter Future Explained

First and foremost, Kraven the Hunter is a massive step forward for Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Though the actor previously portrayed Pietro Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kraven the Hunter is Taylor-Johnson's chance to make his mark as a lead actor in the iconic superhero franchise. Luckily, Taylor-Johnson is well-suited for the role. Because of Kick-Ass, the actor has plenty of experience portraying a superhero. On top of that, Kraven is a dark and morally ambiguous character, and Taylor-Johnson has played numerous antiheroes and villains, from Nocturnal Animals to Fall Guy. Ultimately, Taylor-Johnson is set up to succeed.

In this way, if Kraven the Hunter does well, Taylor-Johnson could remain in this role for years to come.

What makes Kraven the Hunter particularly exciting, though, is its potential for future movies. As a Marvel property, Kraven the Hunter comes from a long line of comic books and written stories. Therefore, there are plenty of tales to tell about Kraven beyond just his first movie. In this way, if Kraven the Hunter does well, Taylor-Johnson could remain in this role for years to come. Not only could he make more Kraven movies, but he could also appear in crossovers with other Marvel heroes. This would secure Taylor-Johnson's spot in the limelight for several years into the future.

Kraven the Hunter isn't the only opportunity for Aaron Taylor-Johnson to lead a franchise, either. Taylor-Johnson's role in 28 Years Later means that he could be the face of the revival franchise. At this point, it isn't entirely clear who Taylor-Johnson is playing in the film, but if his name is second only to Cillian Murphy, that is a good sign that the actor is playing an important role in the new movie. Yet again, Taylor-Johnson is well-prepared for a project like 28 Years Later. With plenty of action experience, the actor is sure to do well running from zombies.

28 Years Later's future is not just potential, it is confirmed fact. After Alex Garland and Danny Boyle write and direct 28 Years Later, the franchise will continue with two more movies. Allegedly, Garland will write all three sequels, but it is unclear whether Boyle will return after 28 Years Later. In this way, Taylor-Johnson's future could be perfectly paved for him. If he truly is the star of 28 Years Later, he could have two more sci-fi thrillers lined up for the next few years. Once again, this would keep him relevant and showing off his acting chops.

The best part of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's future is that Kraven the Hunter and 28 Years Later aren't the only exciting films he has coming up. In between the two franchises, Taylor-Johnson will also be Nosferatu.

If it does, this will only add to Taylor-Johnson's resume as he gears up for his big franchises.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is also rumored to be a strong candidate to play James Bond in Bond 26.

Currently, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is filming yet another movie: Fuze. The action crime thriller stars Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, and Sam Worthington. It is being directed by David MacKenzie. The movie follows a bank heist that is being carried out as an undetonated bomb from World War II is carefully being transported out of a London construction site. Overall, Fuze and all his other movies give Aaron Taylor-Johnson a chance at years-long success.
