Meanwhile, Taylor-Johnson will be seen next in the Spider-Man spin off film Kraven the Hunter, and he recently opened up about how this film will be different from all other MCU outings.
"Kraven being shot entirely on location is going to make all the difference. It's going to add something really beautiful to our personal story," Taylor-Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter.
"It also sets Kraven apart from that Marvel stage look. It's important for this character to be in the real world. It's important for the authenticity of the story. When you're running on streets barefoot, you take in those elements and play within that,” he added.

This is not the first Marvel character he has played. Taylor-Johnson was also Quicksilver aka Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron, where he meets his fate while saving Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.
On how Kraven will be different from Quicksilver, he said: "I'm not here to play the same character twice. I, as a person, am naturally changing and evolving. New things inspire me, and you grow as a person. So I can only move forward and play things I haven't done before.
"I like a challenge, and I like to step outside of my comfort zone, often.”
As of right now, there is no release date for Nosferatu.
