Loving Aaron's unhinged energy here. Dude seems like he's having fun

[alicearrow]

Not me misreading the title and thinking that Anya Taylor-Johnson looked suspiciously muscular in the thumbnail and being surprised that she could do a backflip

[Sharpe]

This guy is pretty underrated considering the fact that every role he does seems to somehow become iconic. Kickass, “You didn’t see that coming?” Quicksilver, and of course Tangerine.

[adityavardhanjain]

He's such a dork energy but he looks like a Prince 😭😭

[sajasadique]

the cameraman really knew what he was doing...that angle tho- 😭

[matrix]

When you see someone almost break their neck doing it you gain a new appreciation for those who do it effortlessly

[LenaDoesTarot]

I was cheering him on 😅 he did a great job 👏

[s.f.]

I didn’t know how much I needed Aaron Taylor-Johnson doing a backflip in my life right now 😌👏🏻🙌🏻

[forbiddencolor]

This guy deserves to be offered such better comic book roles than Quicksilver and Kraven.

[vledermaus]

I'm impressed that he landed it for how bad that backflip was 😆

[chimdi]

Lmao him talking while having his arms out like that

[ktmmatt]

This guy and Wil Poulter have certainly changed since their early days of acting. They both played the "scrawny guy" and now they are both built and are really expanding as actors.

[zparadox]

0:05 whenever I see Aaron taylor johnson 😭

[Zillennial-gk]

I love this line by this dude: *You didn’t see that coming?*
And the look afterwards.

**ice cold** moment

[anakincrespin]

Looking forward to seeing this dude play Kraven the Hunter 💪

[ivanvoloder]

The guy has the balls of steel. It takes guts to preform something like that on a hard floor.

[artempashkovich]

The way how he dressed up and how we keeps his hands tells a lot about how he relly loves his biceps looks like :D

[sergeydyu]

That is actually good tries. He passed the hardest part which is the fear to fall on his head. If he stops leaning that much and tuck a bit more he ll nail it

[JM]

He’s so effortlessly hot all the time. It’s just not fair 😂

[rsolsjo]

Used to see him as a scrawny brunette and now he looks like Thor
