do u think this era of up and coming actors could fill the big shoes of legendary actors from the past?

Submitted by we_are_ghetto t3_126zqi3 in movies

talking Timothee, Florence Pugh, John Majors (I can call him John cuz ik him like that I fist bumped him once), Austin butler, Jeremy Allen white, Evan Peters etc.

do u think in the future they could stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of bale, Leo, Damon, both afflecks, Denzel, Depp, Cruise, gyllenhaal, etc.

I'm neutral on this cuz I think it also depends on the new generation of writers and directors as well.

Maybe to the younger generations, but for someone like me not really. I’m sure later on in life when the ones we all know and love have gone, the newer generations are going to look at the ones you mentioned and say so. I really dig Evan Peters and Robert Pattinson has come to surprise me recently. Also Tom Holland for The Devil All The Time (which also had Pattinson)

Why the competition or filling the shoes of the past? It's a new era. Every decade has a bunch of new names drop onto the scene and rise in popularity. It has nothing to do with replacing actors. Inevitably, people get older so younger names get popular too.

There are always great actors coming up, so in terms of the craft, yes. As for actors with star power, or charisma, there will be those as well. But the movie/tv landscape is so vast and varied now, I'm not sure any of them will reach the star level of a Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Jack, Julia Roberts, Meryl, Pacino, Hoffman, Bogart, Cagney, Brando, Leonardo, Hanks, MM, The Duke, Bronson Pinchot etc

LoL what even is this question?

Are asking will they be good at acting? Then yeah most likely.

Or are you looking at it through whether or not they’ll be big time celebrities? To which your in the wrong sub. 😂

Only thing recent I've sent Pattinson in was The Batman, and I thought he was a good Batman, but struggled to get behind him as Bruce Wayne. I think that more of a writing/makeup thing than an acting thing though.

Anything you can recommend that particularly impressed you?

All seems fine to me. There are plenty of up and comers, and who knows how far they will go. This current generation of stars has long lived up to the legends of the past like Brando, grant, Douglas, bogart, etc. Meanwhile there are female actors today who completely blow away their counterparts of the past like Amy Adams and Frances Mcdormand. My money is on Julia Garner - everything that girl has done so far has been gold.

Maybe they won’t have as much impact as these past guys, but we shouldn’t expect them to be. We shouldn’t have to compare them, because there’s no point to. Will they be iconic for this generation and be this generations stars? Yes. Will they ever be on the level of iconic as all these other veterans? Too early to tell. But even if they don’t become as iconic, that’s fine cuz they don’t have to. They just have to be good at their job

Well, no, Jonathan Majors can't. That guy's fucked.

Your list of legendary actors is a head scratcher. Your list of new actors doesn't get me hyped either.

There's not some huge difference in levels of talent. The pipe lines to stardom might have a few more hands on them now though.
