A new generation of stars in Hollywood is on the rise, promising to bring their unparalleled talent and charisma to the cinema world. Leading the way are the young actors Timothée Chalamet, Glen Powell, and Tom Holland, each bringing a unique flavor to the Hollywood table.

As the industry eagerly searches for its next Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Cruise, these young actors are gaining entry into the new A-list club in Hollywood.

Timothée, with his ineffable charm and nuanced performances, has quickly become a household name. His recent projects, Wonka and Dune: Part Two, have not only amassed a staggering $625 million and $369 million, respectively, but they have also showcased his ability to draw audiences across all ages.

Sources reportedly said that Timothée earned over $8 million for Wonka.

“What else is out there?” Analyst Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations asked Variety. “You’ve got Glen Powell and Chalamet ushering in a new talent base of bankable stars. That’s wonderful for audiences, but even more so, a massive relief for the industry, which has been relying on aging talent for far too long.”

Timothée is also enjoying a salary bump after the success of Dune: Part Two, and with talks of Dune: Part Three going on, the Call Me by Your Name actor is expected to continue seeing success.

Dune producer Mary Parent showed confidence in the young star being able to fill the big shoes left behind by preceding megastars.

“We can count on one or two hands, in any age range, the people who are legitimate movie stars,” Mary said. “Timothée is absolutely that.”

Josh Goldstine, Warner Bros. president of worldwide marketing, also threw his support behind Timothée and said, “I can’t imagine any other actor on the planet who could have played Willy Wonka and have the success that Wonka had.”

Actor Glen also deserves a round of applause for the success of Anyone But You, the highest-grossing R-rated romantic comedy in eight years. The movie opened about a week after Wonka and amassed $212 million worldwide off a $25 million budget.

Timothée’s asking price would certainly be higher than Glen’s since the latter is yet to be associated with a major franchise. But it is believed his quote will rise as discussions of an Anyone But You sequel and Top Gun 3 featuring Glen are ongoing.

“Glen is the classic example of talent meeting opportunity,” says Tom Rothman, chairman and CEO of Sony’s Motion Picture Group. “This is what theatrical hits do that streaming movies just don’t: give great actors a chance to make real cultural impact. Glen is a truly charismatic screen presence.”

When it comes to Tom, his quote has certainly climbed up after the 2021 Spider-Man: No Way Home. But experts believe he still needs to expand his portfolio to gain more success. He stands at a pivotal moment in his career, where expanding his portfolio beyond the superhero realm is crucial.
