Hollywood always brings out the big guns in the summer, but this year seems especially packed when it comes to star power. Many of our favorite actors will be returning to theaters this season in some of their most famous roles, including Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne, Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto. We’re also getting familiar faces in roles we may be able to add to that list, like Margot Robbie as Barbie and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. There’s also some rising young talent and even some potential indie darlings worth watching. Here, then, are the 25 performers who we expect everyone will be talking about in the coming months.

Isn’t this just the same list as the summer movie one from just a day or two ago?

Huh. Pretty sure I typed AVClub in my browser. Not sure why I got a People magazine article instead.
Iconic?
Ionic?
Ironic.

Like a free ride when you’ve already paid.
90’s megastar

It’s like rain, on your wedding day.
I wasn’t aware that Will Poulter was going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy, but now I understand why he looked so ripped recently in the UK television Agatha Christie adaptation Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?
McQuarrie didn’t helm Ghost Protocol. Brad Bird did. McQ did Rogue Nation and Fallout.
It’s the attention to detail and journalistic integrity that keeps me coming back to the av club
OMG, is Fool’s Paradise going to by our generation’s “Being There?!”
Melissa McCarthy playing against type? She’s perfect as a villain.
