Looks like teens are starting to dominate the scene!

Taylor Lautner is expected to become the highest-paid teen actor after filming Northern Lights with Tom Cruise, reports Deadline.com. The kid is only 17.

Taylor, who helped earn New Moon $288 million in just seven weeks, will apparently be earning over $7 million for his upcoming flick.

The film, Northern Lights, is expected to begin filming in April and is about “a gifted young aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted female pilot.”

Additionally, Taylor is set to star in the action-heavy Max Steel, which is based off the Mattel toy line and comic book.

However, Taylor will not become the highest paid teen actor of all time, falling short to Daniel Radcliffe, 20, and Macauley Culkin, 29, who were huge earners in their teenage days.

Fortunately for our teen wolf, he’s still got three years to blow those nerds out of the water…
