5. Paul Mescal
From Normal People to Aftersun, Mescal is probably best known for starring in indie smash hits, and he doesn’t see that changing any time soon. “This will be something that I regret saying”, he told GQ, “I feel kind of like ridiculous saying no when it hasn’t been asked, but it’s not something that I am pining to do. I don’t know if I would have the patience required.”
Mescal also commented that he didn’t want to stop doing indie dramas to focus on Marvel-like blockbusters, citing Robert Downey Jr. as an example of an actor who has dedicated over a decade of his career to the MCU and very little else. “I think sometimes you have to make a decision to let [other projects] go for five, 10, 15 years and that would be really sad”, he shared.
