It's a shame also there's not many new iconic young actors to take the place of all these older actors that keep dying off. It's probably due to the fact that movies/TV streaming etc. is so much now, but there's hardly any new "young" iconic actors I can think about.
Tom Holland got lucky cast as Spider-man, but other than him? Even ones like Ryan Gosling are in their 40's now and he was "young." Leonardo Di Caprio and Matt Damon are over 50+ now. Same for Will Smith and Johnny Depp, all the ones who were young in the 90's are now old as hell too. Also forgot about Tommy Lee Jones, he literally looks like his face is melting now. |

we don't have mega actors anymore, since without tv, there's no longer a mono culture, people in the future will mourn the death of their favorite eceleebs and influencers, and it's not like they're young either. Look at James Rolfe the AVGN, or that nostalgia critic guy, and Felicia Day. They all look like grandpas and grandma's now. by the 2040s which seems far away but is basically a little over ten years away they're going to start dropping like flies as well.
Fate is already catching up to all the big 90s celebs. The ones from the 2000s will be on the list too. Happy halloween, cheers! |

Ehh....
There are few "younger generation" doing well. Miles Teller is watchable. Anya Taylor-Joy is definitely a star and cutting her own path through movies. Bill Pullman's kid shows up in stuff, and so does Kurt Russel's kid and they are sort of "accepted". Michael B. Jordan has had a real career so far. Margo Robbie is clearly a superstar and has had a great career. But I think it can be easily argued that seeing a movie for the sake of the "movie star" is LONG GONE. it used to be "oh the new Schwarzenegger flick looks great!" and so on.... "Will Smith's next one is biopic!". That's done. |

I'm sure there are a lot of new young actors doing great out there. It's just us getting older so much that we don't care or give credit to anyone younger than us.

And either way, they don't feel like the huge breakout stars of the 80's and 90's as you've said. Actors just don't get that "huge popularity" anymore where everyone is talking about them. Even TV actors, look at Sarah Michelle Gellar or the X-files actors, where have we seen actors on TV shows get that mainstream worldwide popularity? |

I don‘t think that‘s what he was talking about. Until maybe 20 years ago, people would go see films because of that one person in it. I remember back in the 90s when a new Stallone or Schwarzenegger film was out, people wanted to go because of those guys, not necessarily because they liked the concept of the film. Are there any actors like that anymore?

And no... i mean even Downey Jr. who is considered the modern auteur-actor can't sell tickets unless he's in an Iron Man movie or a Christopher Nolan ensemble. |
