make way for another generation of
Expendables welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 new action heroes for this
list we’ll be taking a look at actors
associated with the action jarrah that
broke biggest action stars after 2005
although they don’t have to be solely
known for action roles
number 10 Chris Pratt hey you know what
there’s another name you might know me
by star-lord who star-lord man legendary
outlaw this actor gives hope to anyone
aspiring to be a huge action star
popular during his stint on NBC’s Parks
and Recreation no one would have
suspected this comedic talent to be
Hollywood’s new it men for popular
action movie franchises thank you why
are you naked
oh it’s fair to say Pratt had audiences
attention from his impressive
transformation for Marvel’s guardians of
the galaxy yet he only solidified his
spot on the a-list with his spectacular
performance in Jurassic world it’s not
about control standard it’s a
relationship after taking down
intergalactic aliens and velociraptors
we can only imagine what’s next for this
multi-talented actor number 9 Zoe
Saldana
you didn’t think Pratt took down those
intergalactic aliens alone now did you
one would be sorely mistaken to count
out this female action star
while Saldana has been no stranger to
sci-fi franchises the actress has
demonstrated her ability to hold her own
in action-thriller roles that require an
immense amount of physicality it also
helps that Saldana appears to be in the
best shape of her life giving her
unlimited versatility in her various
roles a home beyond belief but it’s not
the Nike handle number 8 Channing Tatum
I started her at the bottom just give me
a chance almost any actor can be trained
to do his own stunts
but not just any actor can look at this
good doing them Tatum has successfully
convinced fans he can do a bit more than
dance and look pretty as he can also
look pretty while holding a gun and
kicking some ass
it also helps that the actor embodies
what we all really want to see in an
action hero
Tatum’s action roles have ranged from
comedy to serious thrillers and in
neither has he managed to disappoint
number seven Tom Hardy let’s not stand
on ceremony here few actors can beat the
crap out of Batman and live to tell the
tale Part II is shot his way up the list
to become Hollywood’s go-to badass for
major action films while also proving
there is almost no one who can’t take
down in addition the British actor is
demonstrated he’s more than just brawn
as he’s often thrown into complex roles
with heavy cerebral backgrounds
where were you an invited
I needed this guy back when I was a kid
I don’t need you now there’s no limit to
what form party can take as we’ve seen
him slimmed down to play a charming
thief and bulk up to insane proportions
for his more heavyset characters max my
name is max
number six Scarlett Johansson
hey selling a female centric action
thriller can be tough but apparently not
when you’re this talented actress
Johansson stands as Hollywood’s living
and breathing proof that women can be
just as capable if not more so in action
hero roles than men
she has effectively broken stereotypes
along with some hearts in her various
femme fatale roles learning is always a
painful process the actress is also
heralded for not using her natural
beauty as a crutch on-screen as her
kick-ass persona often overshadows this
quality now can we please get that Black
Widow movie already I don’t see how
that’s a party number five
jeremy renner know everyone’s about
something some of our generations
biggest action heroes prefer to reside
outside the spotlight Renner’s silent
climb up hollywood’s ladder has been
successful thanks to his supporting
roles in huge action franchises yeah get
in line
whether he’s holding a bow and arrow or
a gun he’s likely to be just as
convincing Renner was a bit older when
he broke as an action star than some but
that has continuously given him
opportunities to play more seasoned and
mature action roles and this apparently
seems to be a new enduring trend in the
industry that was good
number four Liam Neeson but what I do
have are a very particular set of skills
oh and that new trend by the way can all
be credited to this guy
Jason single-handedly made dad’s cool
again in modern cinema with taken I told
you I would find you not many actors
become a commodity in the action genre
after age 40
however Neeson did so as he approached
60 making him a hot item in the industry
while the experienced actor hasn’t
always dominated the thriller genre his
credits have been littered with them
since 2008 proving that America may
never truly get tired of the man with a
very particular set of skills I will
look for you I will find you
and I will kill you number three Daniel
Craig doesn’t appreciate the occasion
with twists Mr Bond
James Bond we can’t trust just any actor
to uphold the legacy of James Bond
however Daniel Craig had us sold from
his debut let’s find it there may be no
other action franchise that’s as coveted
as the double-oh-seven series which
makes it all the more impressive to see
Craig become this generations definitive
bond I say oh just by the strength of
your enemies the iconic role has also
granted the British actor all the
credentials required for any action hero
role he may take on I want you to help
me catch a killer of women considering
his training in martial arts parkour and
proper gentlemanly etiquette are you
ready to get back to work with pleasure
and
mcplayer number two Jennifer Lawrence
what’s the matter baby you don’t think I
look pretty like this becoming an action
hero requires a bit more than a built
body and good looks as you also have to
possess likeability volunteers tribute
audiences enjoy Lawrence in her action
roles for the same reason they enjoy her
as an actress she’s completely relatable
about sums man whether she’s clearing an
entire room of enemy soldiers or caught
between a rock and a hard place
Lawrence’s acting ability allows viewers
to sympathise that was one of the
greatest things I’ve ever seen it has
also allowed her to carry the successful
Hunger Games franchise and ruled the
box-office
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
I live I love you slay and I’m content
[Applause]
I think we’re going down or they are
Kirk out
number one Dwayne Johnson aim for the
bushes
we’d call him Hollywood’s leading man
but based on the stunts we’ve seen him
pull off men might just be a potential
understatement
from professional wrestler to movie star
almost overnight I make my own pass
today
Johnson may have had small roles in one
or two action flicks prior to 2005
but since then he successfully dominated
the action scene with no signs of
slowing down which one of these things
is a dollar some house in addition to
Johnson’s Herculean physique he
possesses a rigid presence and dazzling
smile that demands attention on screen
there’s no doubt that fans will be
smelling exactly what The Rock is
cooking for many years to come
no comment but yes do you agree with our
list
if it helps I feel a lot safer what
actor do you think is our next action
hero you’re a king back but a good one I
think for more awesome top 10s published
