Is the Movie Star Era Over?


Listen Later

The term “Movie Star” once held significant meaning, with actors like Marlon Brando, Tom Cruise, and Meryl Streep attracting massive audiences. These icons didn't just appear in films; they sold them.


Today, Hollywood is a different landscape. Intellectual properties such as Captain America, Harry Potter, and Barbie now dominate the box office, often overshadowing the actors portraying these characters. It's no longer about the star's allure but the brand they represent.


Has the traditional movie star vanished from Hollywood, or has it transformed into the IP characters and cinematic universes we see today?
