When you think of new Sky action movie Fuze — starring The Gentlemen‘s Theo James and Kraven the Hunter‘s Aaron Taylor-Johnson — I’m sure your first thought is of Taylor Swift.
I mean, how could it not be? Set in London, the new movie follows different people embroiled in a mysterious plot when an unexploded World War II bomb is unearthed at a busy construction site. If that doesn’t scream The Life of a Showgirl, I don’t know what does.

‘It could have made our lives a lot harder’
“Not deliberately, no,” Mackenzie tells me when I ask if he made his life harder by filming during the Eras Tour.
“We did get very lucky with the weather, because the film takes place over a matter of hours. I was really worried that one scene would be shooting in the rain, and one scene we were shooting in the sun. Actually, it was a really nice summer, you know. It was mostly consistent too… everything else could have made our lives a lot harder.”
Star Gugu Mbatha-Raw continues, “Because the movie really unfolds like in that real time, there’s some other story structures where you could maybe get away with mishaps, but not with this.”
So amazingly, fictional London wasn’t brought to its knees by Swifties, just Wembley Stadium across two separate weekends. Yet the Taylor Swift-Fuze connection doesn’t stop there.
Both James and Taylor-Johnson joked about attending the tour at the UK premiere, but it turns out that was actually true for the former.
“I went and took my nieces, and it was very nice,” James explains. “I went that summer because it was playing… but no, Aaron didn’t unfortunately take his daughters. He was working.”
Surely they all were, but never mind. The point remains — when you watch London being blown up in Fuze, think of the screaming fans merely a few miles away. Fuze 2: Swiftogeddon, anyone?
