With the group of current movie stars being on the pedestal for so long, it’s understandable to wonder who will replace them as not even in Hollywood can people cheat time.

So who will follow in the steps of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Jude Law and other? Most likely these 10 most promising actors under 25.
Best Actors Under 25
Tom Holland (Born in 1996)
The English actor has the biggest chance of stardom in his hands, literally, as he is playing Spider-Man in the third revamp of the beloved franchise, therefore he also needs to bring it in order to offer something fresh. But his commitment to everything he does is undeniable, as is his charisma which is a huge part of Spider-Man. Tom proved his range in the survival movie The Impossible in which he just might be the actual lead despite two strong, adult stars acting beside him.
Ansel Elgort (Born in 1994)
Probably the young man who is most probable of becoming actual Hollywood royalty as he has gathered a huge fan following based on just one movie The Fault in Our Stars (2014). Besides that Ansel had a role in a similarly popular Divergent series, and also a part in Men, Women & Children (2014). Elgort is the lead in the upcoming Edgar Wright’s movie Baby Driver, which is getting great reviews and can be his breakout into mainstream stardom as it is not a niche movie.

An actor with a very distinctive face, which can be useful for landing impressionable roles, quite possible bad guys in the future. So far, he had the biggest weigh on the Alejandro G.
