Who are the popular movie stars today that aren't aging actors from decades ago?

You know I just realized I have no idea who the new popular young actors of today are. Whenever I think of big actors in movies now they're all the same old actors from the 80's and 90's still in new movies.

Like for example Samuel L Jackson is in the new King Kong movie, but he's old as hell and has been around forever. In Logan we have Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman, also old actors. We have Tom Cruise in the new Mummy reboot, we had Harrison Ford reprising his role in Star Wars and Blade Runner. Arnold, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Keeanu Reeves, etc. are all still around in new movies. Mark Hammill is still playing Luke and The Joker. Ben Affleck is Batman and he's in his mid 40's. Kevin Conroy still voices Batman.

Even the once young actors from the late 90's like Leonardo Dicaprio are now old as hell. All the actors in the Avenger movies and other Marvels are again....old veteran actors in the industry who have been around forever. Robert Downey Jr. is in his 50's. Will Smith is another one who used to be young in the 90's but now is old as hell.

So who are the new fresh faced young popular actors today? Are there any new breakout stars in Hollywood? The only ones I can think of is the Star Wars actors Daisy Ridley, etc...and maybe Emma Watson from Harry Potter and Beauty and Beast.

Are there any new young breakout actors anymore? Because it seems like every movie is just relying on old actors for nostalgia or for brand recogniztion.
