10 Actors Perfect For Upcoming Movie Roles
9. Taron Egerton - Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse
Plot details are thin on the ground for the upcoming animated sequel. Confirmed from the small teaser released at the end of 2021, we know Spider-Gwen will be making a return as Miles Morales’ crime-fighting partner and potential love interest. Also confirmed to star is Oscar Isaacs' meme-bating Spider-Man 2099 (also confirmed in the first film’s excellent post-credits stinger).
Given this sequel will see Miles journey across multiple dimensions, we’re likely going to see even more iterations of our web-slinging hero than we did the first time around. Enter, Spider-Punk, a cockney version of the hero and general pastiche of the Johnny Rotten punk rocker cliché.
Who better to embody this humorous iteration than Eggsy himself, Taron Egerton who proved himself a consummate Londoner in the Kingsman franchise. What with Spider-Punk also being a musician, Egerton fulfils the needs of that aspect beautifully.
To put it lightly, the man's got pipes, lending his vocal talents to both the Sing movies and as Elton John in the Rocketman biopic. With Egerton’s clear talent as a character actor, he would absolutely nail the musician side of the character as well as the rough and tumble cockney side.
