He's still quite young to start looking for his successor.

Chalamet could be the only one but hd could stick to the independent movie route ...

Pattinson has done a very similar sort of thing. Riding his early box office success in to getting himself clout to do all kinds of more 'serious', and left field stuff. The difference is he's gone way more indie, sort of like more what Winslet did after Titanic rather than going the star route that DiCaprio did. Shia has done similarly. It's like none of these guys want to be uber movie stars, what gives?
Of course LaBeouf and Pattinson both probably made a lot more money from their respective franchises than DiCaprio did from Titanic so were in a more comfortable 'set for life' sort of position.

With Pattinson, I think it was just the Twilight fans and all of the surrounding craziness like people being so concerned about his personal life that turned him off projects like that. Plus, Twilight being considered a joke by many probably didn't help. With LaBeouf, I think he had too many demons in his personal life. I also think it's very tough even for a more seasoned actor to go the uber movie star route. Look at Jennifer Lawrence, she was at the top the world for several years and is still quite popular, but Joy, Passengers, and Red Sparrow were all pretty disappointing for her whereas her peers like Emma Stone and Margot Robbie have had a very good streak going the last few years and aren't under as much public scrutiny as she is.

One DiCaprio is annoying enough, I certainly hope we won't have two.
Anyway, it's Chalamet.

It’s 100% not Chalamet.

In terms of an actor utterly repudiating his pretty-boy image to pursue more dangerously eclectic, offbeat parts: Robert Pattinson. I'd also maybe add Daniel Radcliffe, although I don't think he was ever really seen as a "dreamboat" like DiCaprio/Pattinson were.
In terms of early, out-of-the-gate acclaim, it's Chalamet, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to sustain it to the degree DiCaprio did. Dune could be his Titanic . . . or it could be his The Beach.

Well Chalamet has the advantage of not having to break away from a pretty boy image, since he looks like the human equivalent of ET.

I super applaud Pattinson for that, given that he's done things like Good Time and The Lost City of Z recently. He doesn't want to play the "Hollywood game", and that's very admirable. In general it's hard to be top on forever. People are always looking for the next thing, be it an actor, a director, and so on, and eventually if said performer becomes popular enough, people want to take them down a peg or two. It's especially true, in say the case of female actresses like Lawrence, where one or two flops can seriously have a potential negative impact on their career (not that Lawrence's career is in bad shape, yet, it's just clear that she's peaked a bit). It's a rough system to say the least.

Chalamet, and he's going to be better than DiCaprio. You see Chalamet being as diverse as DiCaprio? Doing something like moving from Django to Wolf to The Revenant. He hasn't shown that much range yet.

He's hardly a chameleon. His brash take-no-prisoners acting style stands out like a sore thumb in whatever role he's in. Whether or not his performances are any good tend to hinge mostly on his scripts but I can't say I see much to differentiate his work in The Revenant from his performances in Wall Street, Django or Blood Diamond, except for their varying degrees of loudness filtered occasionally through affectations that usually don't feel lived-in (his accent work in Blood Diamond for example). Admittedly it's difficult to judge him objectively because he carries his stardom wherever he goes so he's always instantly recognizable in a part, but you could probably say the same of Day-Lewis or Gyllenhaal and DiCaprio has never been able to disappear into a role like they can. He certainly gets an A for effort though. I mean shit, he did more suffering than acting in The Revenant and in Wall Street he mostly just yelled a lot. Honestly that sums up the majority of his work--emoting very loudly at the camera, god bless him. There isn't much nuance to read into his work when he just wears it all loudly on his sleeves. It's too early to speak for range yet, but I do know that Chalament conveyed more complexity and nuance with his restraint in CMBYN than I've seen from any DiCaprio performance. And his career has just started.

I'm curious to see how will evolves Tye Sheridan's career, loved his start (The Tree of Life, Mud, Joe) then like others talented young actors he got attracted by the Comics movies which isn't a bad thing as it put money to the bank and it also helps to get more known but let's hope he won't get "trapped" in them (contractual stuffs and maybe some lazyness like some others) and keep doing interesting projects. He was the young main male lead in a Spielberg's movie which hasn't happened often (maybe once ?) since DiCaprio's Catch Me If You Can, so let's hope he can work with others big and talented directors and creates good relationships and grow his star power which, to me, is mostly that "being the New DiCaprio". Look wise, he maybe hasn't grow up very well (because he was a very handsome kid few years back) but I don't know, maybe it's because of the roles he's been taking lately, I will let people judge about it as I don't really care.

Jesus, god, can we chill the eff out with the Chalamet hype. He was good in a couple movies. At least this isn't as bad as when he was being compared to DDL a couple years ago. There won't be another DiCaprio. Insofar as the 20 million a movie, automatic greenlight movie star is pretty much dead, I would agree with this. Leo, Cruise, and a few other older people are the last true A-listers.

There has not been a previous DiCaprio, and there might not be a next. He is probably the only actor to have been both the most acclaimed actor of his generation and its biggest star. Can't recollect that ever happening in the past, and I can't imagine that happening in the foreseeable future.

I think it's too difficult to pull off, because you need near-universal respect for your talent on the highest level, lots of commercial success, and to be actively coveted by the best living directors. That last part in particular is the biggest stumbling block.
