Jeremy Ray Taylor is spilling the tea on whether or not a new Goosebumps movie is in the works.

The actor, 22, chatted with PEOPLE exclusively at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie, London Calling, at the Harmony Gold Theater on Sept. 15. During the conversation, he shared whether or not he would consider returning to the world of Goosebumps after starring in 2018’s Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.

“Yes, definitely. I would love to,” Taylor said. “If Goosebumps arose, I would absolutely be there.”

He added, “Same with an IT sequel. I’ve always loved the projects that I’ve been involved with.”

He went on to say that while there has been talk of a third Goosebumps installment in the past, “it kind of fizzled out.”

“So maybe if we get on them [the filmmakers] enough, they’ll do a sequel. I’m in Bristol, Tenn., so I’m very far away from those people. So we try to stay in touch as much as possible,” he said, adding, “We should definitely get on the producers about that one, for sure.”

“I grew up with Transformers, so obviously, [I’m] a huge fan of him,” he said. “It’s kind of a bucket list item. It’s absolutely incredible. All the chemistry that you’re seeing on screen is real. And people keep asking me, like, what we did to prepare for that. Nothing. Like, Josh is just a great guy. It just worked out.”

Taylor — a car enthusiast — also revealed that Duhamel’s character in the film, Tommy, teaches his character, Julian, how to drive a manual transmission. However, the young actor says the behind-the-scenes reality differed a lot from what audiences ultimately see on screen.

“In real life, it was me teaching him how to teach me how to drive manual,” he explained.  

He added, “So the car that we actually filmed in was not a manual — it was an automatic. So we had to make it [look] automatic.”

London Calling, an action comedy that hit theaters on Friday, Sept. 19, tells the story of “a down on his luck hitman [Duhamel] forced to babysit the son of his new crime boss [Taylor], and show him how to become a man,” per the IMDb synopsis.

While speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the L.A. premiere, Taylor also shared that he is set to appear in “a new indie film called This Too Shall Pass,” which he described as “a nice coming-of-age story.“

“Like IT, but without the clown,” he joked.

London Calling is in select theaters now.
