We're only considering people who haven't been in a film with him yet, so no Hanks, Adams, Pitt, Damon, Streep, etc.

Does Sean Penn still count as an A-lister?
I feel like even with his two Oscars and fame, his career has been such a wreckage in the last decade that he's fallen off that pedestal. I don't feel like he's on the very top lists even for prestige projects anymore, and certainly not in leading roles.
Christian Bale should be a choice, and I could see those guys doing something together, as many fanboys have always seem them as main rivals in their generation.

Oh, I forgot to put Bale in, you're right. My mistake. The Penn inclusion is a bit cheeky, but I guess the days of him winning Oscars don't seem that long ago to me. |

Maybe a big female co-star like Scarlett Johansson?? Crazy they never worked together since they seem to be the perfect movie star on screen couple.
I read somewhere that they almost starred together in The Great Gatsby, as she was the first choice for Daisy, but she had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts with the forgettable Matt Damon/Cameron Crowe movie.
In terms of male actors, definitely Joaquin Phoenix, they seem to be the DeNiro/Pacino of our time, it would be rad to see them in a Heat or Irishman type of film.

Phoenix or Cooper from actors.
Kidman or Stone from actresses.
I'd love it if it was Stone, so I'll vote for her.

Yeah, I get where his inclusion was coming from, but Penn isn't really A-list in the traditional acclaimed sense, and probably hasn't been since winning his Oscar for Milk. If anything he's more of a Hollywood renegade outsider type akinned to somebody like Mel Gibson, which is why them co-starring in that recent movie The Professor & The Madman was equally ironic, and part lunacy. |

I'd love for him to co star in a film alongside the likes of Phoenix or Bale. All three of them were born in 1974 and are talented as hell. Make it happen Hollywood!

He came close to working with many on the list, including: Clooney - DiCaprio dropped out of The Ides of March, and Clooney auditioned for the Hill role in TWoWS Kidman - DiCaprio was up for the McGregor role in Moulin Rouge! and Kidman was up for the Blanchett and Beckinsale roles in The Aviator, none of which ended up working out Jolie - DiCaprio was up for the Damon role in The Good Shepherd, but had to drop out for The Departed
Portman - Portman auditioned for the Danes role in Romeo+Juliet but was decided to be too young for the role
Stone - DiCaprio was (credibly rumored to be) offered the Phoenix role in Irrational Man, which he turned down. Stone apparently tried really hard to convince DiCaprio to do the movie
Moore - DiCaprio was offered the Wahlberg role in Boogie Nights, which he famously had to turn down for Titanic
Johansson - Johansson was reportedly the top choice for the Mulligan role in The Great Gatsby after she auditioned for it, but she had scheduling conflicts with We Bought a Zoo and had to drop out of contention
Smith - Smith was Tarantino's first choice for Foxx's role in Django Unchained, but he declined and instead decided to do... After Earth
Cooper - Cooper auditioned for the Hammer role in J. Edgar and the Hill role in TWoWS, but lost out on both
Penn - Penn was up for the Hardy role in The Revenant, but he had to drop out because he was "otherwise engaged"
Bale - Bale auditioned for the Perrineau role in Romeo+Juliet, but lost out To answer the question, it's hard to say because of how unpredictable these things are, but I see Stone as being the most likely to work with him at some point. She's the top actress of her generation after Lawrence, who DiCaprio is working with next, and she's also a major DiCaprio fan and would jump at the chance to work with him. I can see directors and bean counters wanting to unite them. Too bad she missed out on the forgettable Leonardo DiCaprio/Baz Luhrmann movie. Well, at least the forgettable DiCaprio-Luhrmann movie won 2 Oscars and made 3 times as much money at the box-office, so it wasn't quite as inconsequential as the Damon-Crowe movie. |

Clooney - DiCaprio dropped out of The Ides of March, and Clooney auditioned for the Hill role in TWoWS Seriously? He wasn't too old? I know I read Bradley Cooper did, but Clooney too? From what I heard, it was scheduling conflicts w/ The Revenant, but I believe that to be accurate. |

Seriously? He wasn't too old? I know I read Bradley Cooper did, but Clooney too? When casting for TWoWS was underway, there were rumors that Clooney was trying to land the Azoff role, but they were unconfirmed. However, Jonah Hill confirmed in multiple later interviews/podcasts that Clooney was in the mix. Looks like the original link is no longer available, but here is a snippet of Hill acknowledging Clooney's interest in the role. |

No wonder Clooney's salty, talking about owning Leo's posse at basketball!  |

Yeah, my theory is that Clooney was butthurt over DiCaprio dropping out of his directorial venture, The Ides of March, and then pushing for Hill over Clooney to play Azoff, both in quick succession. He was so used to routinely getting handjobs from the industry during that time that it must have come as a rude awakening that he wasn't even able to land the role of DiCaprio's sidekick and was stepped over for Jonah freaking Hill That the basketball comments came only a few months later doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence. |

Probably a break and then another film with Scorsese again. I'm sure he will work with PTA at some point.
