7. Austin Butler
With his lip curled and hips swaying, California boy Austin Butler emerged as a matinee idol this year when Elvis became a bona fide box-office hit. Next up for the star is the Best Actor Oscar race and Dune: Part Two, coming in 2023
6. Millie Bobby Brown
Stranger Things Season 4 secured Millie Bobby Brown’s spot on IMDB’s list of top stars, and Enola Holmes 2 helped keep her there. Now, the actor/producer looks to the future as Stranger Things nears its fifth and final season (scheduled for a 2024 release).
5. Julia Garner
This was a banner year for Julia Garner, punctuating the final season of Ozark with an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and the leading role in Netflix series Inventing Anna. Garner will be back on the big screen as pop icon Madonna in an upcoming biopic.
4. Joseph Quinn
In a single year, Joseph Quinn became the unlikely hero of Stranger Things Season 4, making Dungeons & Dragons hip, and helping to sell millions of Hellfire Club tees. He also jammed with Metallica in real life and landed on IMDB’s list of top stars for the first time.
