Interestingly, the young actor was the first choice for the role and was chosen by star Ryan Reynolds. Taking to NZ Herald in 2017, Julian's co-star said, 

I’m very good friends with Taika. So that’s kind of how I found him. Obviously, I saw Taika’s film [Hunt for the Wilderpeople] and I was like, ‘who is this kid and what voodoo did you put on him to make him this good?’“ And Taika said, ‘he just is that good.’ He was the only one we ever considered for the role.

Also, during Julian's interview with news.com in 2018, he had landed a role in another major movie but was unable to share the details due to contractual obligations.
