Aaron Taylor-Johnson is best known for his role as the title character in Kick-Ass, where he played a regular teenager who decides to become a superhero despite having no powers. That movie really put him on the map because it was so bold, violent, and unexpectedly funny—and he completely nailed the part. But he didn’t stop there. He also played Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron, giving him a place in the Marvel universe. Outside of comic book movies, he’s shown off his range in serious roles too, like in Nocturnal Animals, which earned him a Golden Globe. He’s built a reputation for balancing blockbuster hits with smaller, more intense character pieces.
