Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Salary for “Kraven the Hunter” Revealed and It’s Not a Lot
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson will next be seen in the titular role in Kraven the Hunter.
- The actor made $2 million for his work in the movie which does not seem a lot.
- His current net worth is around $20 million.
Besides the 007 role rumors, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been busy with other projects that will keep his fans excited. He will next be seen in Sony-Marvel’s joint project Kraven the Hunter where he plays the iconic Spider-Man villain, with a possibility of him being seen in more projects related to the iconic franchise. The story follows Kraven’s attempts to establish his power and emerge as the greatest hunter in the world.
Johnson will be an amazing James Bond, carrying the baton forward from Daniel Craig. However, no official confirmation has been made for the same. In the meantime, let’s explore how much the British actor is worth and what is he earning from Kraven the Hunter.
How much did Aaron Taylor-Johnson make from Kraven the Hunter?
Playing the titular character Sergei Kravinoff, Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be stepping into the burgeoning world of superheroes and powerful forces after his brief stint as Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron. While his character is a villain in the story, Johnson’s magnetic charm and charisma are sure to sway the audience and make him a likable character.
According to Showbiz Gallore, the actor managed to earn a whopping sum of $2 million for his central role in Kraven the Hunter. As compared to actors featured in Marvel movies who earn worth of $10 million easily, this number does not seem a lot.
Back in the day when Tobey Maguire was Spider-Man, he made $4 million for the first Spider-Man movie and eventually went on to earn $17.4 million for the 2004 sequel along with some residual profits.
In light of these figures, Johnson seems to have earned less than what he could have made. Though it’s unclear whether the Bullet Train actor also made an agreement to share in the profits of the movie, the lower salary might be indicative of how the producers feel about the performance of the movie.
New characters and storylines, whenever introduced into the mix, seldom perform well on the first go. People take time to get accustomed to the world and only then accept the same wholeheartedly.
What made Aaron Taylor-Johnson accept Kraven the Hunter role?
Deciding on taking up such a great comic book character can be difficult since fans are quick to make a judgment and dislike the movie based on minute details. Johnson knew what he was getting into when he signed on to play Kraven in the movie.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, he revealed what made him agree to the movie,
I think there was something unique about this character and something grounded. We’ve all had enough of seeing certain studio films, a certain kind of pop culture… where they’re churning out stuff that dilutes wanting to go to the cinema. I wouldn’t have signed onto it if I felt there wasn’t something to really bring to life with this character.
He went on to explain how acting in such a movie can be a burdening undertaking especially when an entire world of stories hinges on a character and their movie. Sony and Marvel have made numerous projects together with a wider universe on the line. If Kraven the Hunter does well, he will be welcomed into the same universe with open arms.
What is Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Net Worth?
Johnson has been seen in numerous high-profile movies including Bullet Train, The Fall Guy, and Nocturnal Animals, all of which have garnered huge success. His recent works have thrust him into the spotlight as Johnson sifts through scripts to find his next big project. The studio is after Johnson to become their next James Bond, and fans have no clue what’s stopping him from accepting the role.
Regardless, the actor is currently worth $20 million which translates to almost £16 million. If he chooses to accept the role of James Bond, Johnson’s net worth is bound to skyrocket depending on the deal he signs with the studio.
