Austin Butler, 32
Since his Oscar nomination for Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic, Jeff Nichols has tapped him for 1960s-set The Bikeriders (out June 24) and Darren Aronofsky chose him to lead his next film, the 1990s New York City-set Caught Stealing.
Despite meme-able moments about his Elvis accent and his hairless look in Dune: Part Two, he’s managed to cultivate an all-too-rare movie-star mystique.
Could he follow in the footsteps of Brad Pitt?
Perhaps it’s fitting that his first high-profile film role came opposite Pitt in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Butler has all the trappings of a classic Hollywood leading man, a seductive look and powerful onscreen presence.
