I don’t keep up with Hollywood but I see a lot about Ezra Miller and Tom Holland.
These guys must be state of the art actors or something! Right?

Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Kravitz (I'm assuming she's related to Lenny Kravitz?), Hailee Steinfeld and Ana de Armas.

That’s a pretty zoomer exclusive list.
As far as spanning generations (I think OP is referring to names that come to mind instantly across all age groups)…
Maybe Adam Driver - because of Star Wars, and Chris Pratt would definitely be the biggest… I think. In fact Chris Pratt is the only one I would be confident to say stood a chance in this list across all generations to reach a respectable percentage.
Pattinson I think would be next… then maybe Armas or Robbie, but I think you are seeing dwindling returns at this point as far as mass recognition goes.

There are new Hollywood stars. You just don't care about the modern actors and so don't follow their careers and movies they are in.
That's all it boils down to.

Oh brother... you need to expand your library.
Okay, I still don’t know who any of these people are outside of Anya Taylor-Joy. She’s also in The Witch, correct? If so, she’s fantastic. Still need to see last night in soho and Northman.

Bloody hell, yes, she is in The Witch, can't believe I missed that one. It's the film that put her on my watch radar.
I'd recommend watching Knives Out for Ana De Armas and Edge of Seventeen for Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee is a great film too if you haven't seen it).

A lot of these young “stars” don’t stand out at all - who’s the next Brando? Eastwood? Nicholson? I swear I can’t tell the difference between these Chris Hemsworth (?), Pine, Evans types - they all look the fucking same.

I've seen Knives Out. I thought it was good at the time but I honestly can't remember a single thing about it. if she's the lead, I don't think it is really fair to lump her in the same category as Anya. nothing about her performance stood out as exceptional to me.
I've never heard of Edge of Seventeen and I have not seen Bumblebee. I have Transformers fatigue.

Robert Pattinson is the only really stand out actor amongst the youngins being listed.
he's actually the best actor currently working IMO. I can't even think of anyone who comes close.

Feels like Hollywood is moving away from Star driven projects. I think it was Anthony Mackie who gave an interview about how people go to see Capt America and not Chris Evans. Studios want control and a movie Star will ask for more money and concessions in their contract (Tom Cruise). Fast and Furious franchise probably wouldn’t be as popular if it was just Vin Diesel, compared to a whole ensemble of actors/actresses.

I think the success of not only youtube but reality TV taught Hollywood that they don't need to pay big actors 20 million a pop to sell entertainment. They're just recycling the same geezers until they die off and are left with a new generation of nobodies who can be easily manipulated

Ever notice she kind of fell off the map right around when the Weinstein scandal broke? Hm...

this thread is the definition of old man yelling at the clouds cuz people are listing big hollywood stars in this thread yet other posters are like "never heard of em"
But i do agree that people also look to social media influencers a lot more now too.
I can't tell you anything about Logan Paul but I just know he's still very popular. Or people like Ninja.

2020 is the only year where she hasn't done a film, she hasn't disappeared.

Did people forget what a Hollywood star is? People like Tom Cruise or Arnold. Recognisable all over the world.
Star system (filmmaking) - Wikipedia
The star system was the method of creating, promoting and exploiting stars in Hollywood films from the 1920s until the 1960s.
The star system put an emphasis on the image rather than the acting, although discreet acting, voice, and dancing lessons were a common part of the regimen.
The phenomenon of stardom has remained essential to Hollywood because of its ability to lure spectators into the theater. Following the demise of the studio system in the 1950s and '60s, the star system became the most important stabilizing feature of the movie industry. This is because stars provide film makers with built in audiences who regularly watch films in which their favorite actors and actresses appear.[7]

Chalamet should be the next Leo as long as he continues to stick with good, nonsuperhero movies like Leo did. I was originally going to say Gosling but damn he’s 41
Honestly I’m more worried about the state of directors. But you should see who the best directors cast and those are your stars basically
Scorcese - He always casts Leo as the lead. And these are real movies that may not have a brand so you need a star.
McKay - say what you want but if you’re in his movie you’re a star. Look at Don’t Look Up/Big Short.
Denis - only works with stars
Nolan, Tarantino, etc.
Is there a new young director stars will work with? It’s good that directors have a long lifespan

Film is dead. It turned into the comic book movie industry.

Have you ever seen Boy? It's a great film, Taika's best in my mind.

It is, but that gif perfectly captures my feelings. I flip back and forth on all 3 directors' projects. They're inconsistent at times, but that also means they have a lot of potential, which is why I'll still check out their films.
