His last movie Fall Guy, he is second fiddle to box office poison Ryan Gosling.

The only film I remember liking him in was the first Kick-Ass. I certainly don't want him anywhere near Bond.

I'm aware of this dude and the fact he's been rumored to be a possible choice for the next James Bond, quite a few women online fancy the pants off him.

Taking a look at his filmography I've seen him in;
- Anna Karenina (2012)
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
- Godzilla (2014)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
- Tenet (2020)
- The Fall Guy (2024)

That's more than I would have guessed. I can't say he's ever made an impression.

Ya I didn't remember him from anything other than KickAss. Godzilla - he seemed familiar to me, but ya - no star power.

Check out Outlaw King and Bullet Train, he’s larger than life in both, and it’s effortless.

Maybe his marriage to a much older woman contributes to his movies failing at the box office. It doesn't scream tough guy exactly.

He was definitely groomed by her.

I disagree, Johnson is incredibly charismatic and very much a star, I for one am hoping he lands Bond.

His roles in Outlaw King and Bullet Train are especially noteworthy imo.

[–] JohnBraun604 (340) 15 days ago

Bullet Train, wasn't he a two-bit villian, and quirky? Not exactly Bond.

Just another Taylor Kitsch

[–] JohnBraun604 (340) 9 days ago

Was that John Carter? Actually I prefer him!

[–] mentality (529) 9 days ago

Correct and he was the main in Battleship.

[–] JohnBraun604 (340) 9 days ago

I like him. Not for Bond but I think he is great.

[–] mentality (529) 9 days ago

He has good acting chops. Was also in Savages 2012 with ATJ.

[–] JohnBraun604 (340) 9 days ago

Thanks for the info! I may make Savages my next watch! :)

Hopefully you like it. I think it was a Oliver Stone film.

[–] JohnBraun604 (340) 8 days ago

Probably look for it this weekend! Will let you know :) !
