Do you think Glenn Powell will ever be an A-list star?

Considering how bad Hollywood is now I don't think there will ever be "A-list" actors anymore. It's a dying industry and nobody will really care about actors all that much.

I swear more people care about influencers now than they do actors. Social media certainly blurs the lines.
 
Not at all he is the epitome of a B list star. Timothy chalemet is more A list.
 
There's something off-putting to me about how he looks much like Michael B. Jordan. Not either of their faults, just how I see them. Kind of looks like a weird alternate reality version of Zach Ward (from A Christmas Story, Freddy vs. Jason, and Titus).

I totally get the Michael B Jordan thing. Something about his face just makes me not like him.
Kevin Costner used to be the same exact way for me until he turned like 80, or however old he was in The Highwaymen.
 
I don't understand. How is he a B-lister? He's not the top draw in the A-list cabinet, yet, nowhere close, but he's been in major projects.

He wasn't one of the mains in Top Gun: Maverick, but that's as A-list as movies get. He wasn't the lead in Hidden Figures, but that was a clear A-list prestige project.

He was the leading man in Twisters, and that had a production budget of $155m. How is that not A-list? Anyone But You was a rom-com with the top sex icon in the business right now in Sydney Sweeney. How is that not A-list?

Also Devotion, movie didn't do well at the box office but it had a budget of $90m and he was one of the leads.
