I need to sort these out and put them in a list format- or else, like, what's the point right?

Men in consideration (in no order):
Jake Gyllenhaal
LaKeith Stanfield
Michael Shannon
Michael Fassbender
Ryan Gosling
Daniel Kaluuya
Christian Bale
Jesse Plemons
Leonardo DiCaprio
Adam Driver
Robert Pattinson
Tom Hardy
Michael B Jordan
Daniel Radcliffe

Women in consideration (in no order):
Lupita Nyong'o
Nathalie Portman
Amy Adams
Kristen Stewart
Emily Blunt
Viola Davis
Kate Winslet
Scarlett Johanssen
Charlize Theron
Emma Watson
Florence Pugh
Saoirse Ronan

Who am I forgetting?

I thought about Jamie Foxx and decided against including him. I thought about Jessica Chastain and came to the same conclusion.

Scar Jo
Charlize Theron

Idris Elba is just a few years older than Leo

I think Idris Elba (who is one of my favorites) is just on the other side of the generation gap I'm thinking of.

I'll add both of the others.

Also added Tom Hardy

Added Michael B Jordan

Daniel Radcliff
Emma Watson

Yes to both

Added Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh.

Gotta mention Donald Glover, even though he hasn't been in a live-action film since Solo. He was primed to take over the world, focused on his TV show instead, which he won acting awards for (as well as directing, producing, and writing awards). As Atlanta finishes up, I wonder if he will re-ascend to superstardom or enjoy his creative niches.

Nah. Glover's a good actor, but not in the tier that I'm thinking.

Margot Robbie

I don't know. I think Margot Robbie is a great actress and proved that in I, Tanya. But what other tour de force performances has she done where you're like, "Holy shit. That's incredible." Her Harley Quinn is great, but I'm not going to say it showcases her amazing acting abilities.
