This will sound like I'm arguing with you, trust me mate, I am not. However Aaron Taylor Johnson is exactly (well in 2020s terms) the kind of "not actually a movie star" star that gets to play James Bond. Famous for sure (Roger Moore as The Saint, Brosnan as RS, etc) in some films & shows with buzz &/or box office (Munich, Layer Cake, Tomb Raider) but not actual "global" big ticket sellers. At least, as far as I remember & learned growing up, pre-Bond.
As much as I happrmen yo like ATJ, as you say, a certain type of actor gets way more runs in the 1st team than others.
Dammit, that crossed my mind after I wrote it, but I figured it wasn't worth elaborating on since the point was that he was still going to be treated as a bankable name. But... as usual, you are correct.
Honestly, and I might write this on Monday, but if they have the courage to do it as a comedy, openly acknowledging how pathetic these folks are, that might be a way to get away with it.
I think that team-up idea only has enough story for a credits scene, trailer, or sketch, especially since these characters aren't outright villains, so why would they team up and who would they fight? But I think a better idea could be Hardy, Leto, and Taylor-Johnson teaming up to go against Tom Holland in a Sony-produced, Kelly Marcel-written and directed... Uncharted 2. It'll be a funny tongue-in-cheek joke that won't be confusing for non-Marvel fans, and I think all the actors would be up for it. Marcel, Avi Arad, and Tom Rothman have to know that an Uncharted sequel with these added-value elements would certainly make more theatrical money than Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter combined, right?

Thanks. As you say the point is how he is (will continue to be) treated and you are dead on about that.
I’m baffled as to why Taylor-Johnson is allowed to star in movies. Terrible actor. The blandest of the bland.
I still have a bad feeling they’ll make Sinister Six despite the repeated failures.

It would be a chance to actually include “he was studying spiders with my mom in the Amazon right before she died” onscreen.
Oooh I like that idea.
