Not necessarily your favourites of the moment - though that will obviously factor in to an extent - but more those you think are picking the best/most interesting projects, delivering the best performances and have the most promising upcoming lineup.
For me, the names that spring to mind the most are:
Ryan Gosling
Joaquin Phoenix
Robert Pattinson
Nicole Kidman
Emma Stone

Emma Stone is def one of them.
Are we talking only about young and upcoming actors? Because there are so many older ones who have chosen very carefully their projects throughout their careers, like DDL for instance.
Recently I was thinking about the same thing for Tom Hanks' later career.

Nah, hence why I included Phoenix and Kidman, who's careers right now are a lot more exciting than many of the newcomers on the scene. |

Adèle Haenel who is making acting history in some ways to me - this is Streep level and Huppert level work especially relative to age - she's 30 - her whole career is a streak of lightning.
No actresses close to that right now.......although I'd say Helen Mirren a genuine all time great has 2 projects Catherine the Great and The Good Liar (which I read the book of) that have me quite excited.

Adam Driver is all kinds of great over the last decade, but in particular over the last 4 / 5 years.

Yes, Emma Stone may well be the actress with the most exciting career in the world right now. Entering her prime years as an actress (30s) with first choice of all scripts in the English language, she hasn't made a wrong step yet. I do wish she hadn't had to drop out of Gerwig's Little Women - she would have been such a lovely addition - but I know she needed to campaign for The Favourite.

Di Caprio is also very selective in the projects he picks in the last decade. Not after his Oscar win of course but, I'd say, after the Beach. Since he started working with Scorsese, he chooses to collaborate with great directors in major movies (Eastwood, Scott, Lurman, QT, Zwick, Nolan, Spielberg, Mendes, Inarritu).
In fact, there is not a single movie of his I didn't like. OK, I didn't love J. Edgar or Gatsby or Body of Lies for example. But I kind of liked them.

Hands down its Robert Pattinson. Between him being the lead in that huge budget Nolan film to being the next Batman and of course all the interesting little indie films he has coming out, he is my choice for sure.

Of the younger actors, Pattinson, Stone and Saoirse are the ones with the most interesting career at the moment. But that could change soon, after all, a few years ago Alicia Vikander, Brie Larson and Ezra Miller were the actors I found most exciting. Now almost nothing gets me excited about their choices in the last years ...

Oddly enough, John David Washington's career is beginning to look very exciting. I think his father is possibly the GOAT actor, and while JDW is clearly nowhere near that vicinity as of yet, he's a fine young actor who looks like he's poised to become an A-list star. Seeing a poorly filmed bootleg teaser trailer copy of Chris Nolan's Tenant, really suggested that the film is designed to make him a proper A-list leading man. It's just his name shown as the star, along with just shots of him. I expected some focus on Robert Pattinson as well, but it was all JDW. So this is big for him.
Now it's being strongly rumoured that Matt Reeves wants him as Two-Face for his new Batman film.
He's also the lead in a European indie produced by Luca Guagdino ( filmmaker behind Call Me By Your Name)...which is a sort of a stunning get for an African-American leading man.
I feel like even the guy who actually won last season's Best Actor Oscar (Rami Malek) did not get anywhere near the career boost JDW did. So it's exciting to watch just how in-demand he has become. |

It's especially remarkable because his career basically started with a HBO series Ballers, a series that was only noteworthy because it starred Dwayne Johnson, and he was just a major supporting character, and happened to be Denzel's son. To go from that to Blackklansman in three years, and then play the lead of a Nolan movie, most actors could only dream of that. I could definitely see him playing a comic book character in the future, that's generally the high-mark for actors these days if they want to have some financial success. You mentioned Two-Face, but it wouldn't surprise if he wasn't up, or at least considered for a major Marvel role as well. |

It'd be ridiculous to deny being the son of Denzel didn't smooth the way to get him to this spot, but if it was a simple as that all the heavily pushed children of A-listers would be on the verge of becoming superstars themselves, and that is far from the case(and even though the offspring of Hanks, Penn, DDL, Depp, Streep, Eastwood and many more are in the business in some shape, none of them look like being the next big thing like JDW. So he really showed the talent was there, which as was the case with Michael Douglas, offsets those disgruntled by the concept of nepotism). Oh, I definitely see Marvel gunning for him. I thought he might have had a good shot at Blade, but Mahershala Ali was out there making boss moves and securing his bag. It's hard to say which role Marvel will tap JDW for eventually, because since Marvel have shown little problem race and gender bending roles, so it won't neccesarily be a character that was originally black in the comics. Maybe in something for when they reboot the X-Men and Fantastic Four. |

Blackklansman wasn't technically his first film, as he done a few indies prior, but it was certainly his major leading role debut, and he left quite the impression. I don't exactly know what Marvel role I could imagine JDW in. Maybe The Prowler in a Spider-Man sequel, lol! I'm sure if Marvel did cast him, they'd give him the right role, they generally quite excel at that. |

DiCaprio
Pugh
Chalamet
Not sold on Anya Taylor-Joy yet, who's made no impact in film IMO. Pattinson no doubt turned his career around, but I feel like The Batman wasn't worth the hype and wasted a good chunk of his time, and so given his propensity to choose really weird niche projects, he may never really have the kind of momentum that was within reach.

Yikes........not my finest post ^ Well this was way off Heanel retires (theoretically) - Mirren's projects didn't exactly click although I liked her Good Liar performance a lot and imo she blew McKellen off the screen UpdatedMia Goth, Cate Blanchett who not only blew past her peers in 2022 (I use that term "peers" loosely), but has great upcoming stuff, Andrea Riseborough who has been memorable in Mandy, Possessor and this year in To Leslie - one of the years best performances imo........Noémie Merlant going from working with Blanchett to working with Winslet in the Lee Miller movie......Chastain going from Scenes From A Marriage, to an Oscar, to a very fine turn The Good Nurse, to playing Tammy Wynette ......pretty impressive ...... |

I'm not a fan of Adam Driver, but he's certainly been in some interesting movies these past few years.
Daniel Radcliffe and Colin Farrell have taken an unusual career path from where they started out and its always interesting to see what they're going to be in next.
Joaquin Phoenix and Ethan Hawke have been making exciting movie choices for a long time now.
Florence Pugh is a relative newcomer, but I'm interested in her choices too.
And last but certainly not least, Paul Walter Hauser has been popping up in the most unusual places and its always a delight to see him.

It's funny we have so many Emma Stone mentions in 2019 when her only upcoming project was Cruella? Now she has a Nathan Fielder/Safdies comedy series and three with Yorgos... Bleat, AND, Poor Things. She can pick 'em and knows when to unpick too (Little Women, The Menu). It's her for the younger gens....
and it's crowded competition with the under 30s: Anya, Mia Goth, Sydney Sweeney, Julia Garner, Zendaya, Margaret Qualley (who has two Yorgos and a Coen, and a 'How will she pull it off' biopic as Ginger Rogers? plus her taste of weirder European fare... I see ya, Qualley).
For the older actresses, it's Blanchett and idk who else comes close? Huppert if the Argento news is true, and she's also a fascinating stage maniac, I can't keep track of which plays she's performing in which countries, sometimes two plays at the same time?!
Actors, for me - Joaquin, Dafoe, Cage.

Olivia Colman. I've seen almost all her perfs since Flowers/The Favourite (her two best), she's great but a bit predictable in her performance arcs and I can't really get excited about Wonka and another Marvel series.... |
