10 Big Actors Who Have 2 Or More Major Movies Coming In 2024 (2024)

Several of Hollywood's most famous actors are set to have huge years, with two prominent movies releasing sometime in 2024. Movie stars are a huge draw to the box office, and an actor having two film releases within a short period can positively affect their box office potential. If the first movie is well received, traction can build for the next one. Actors like Nicolas Cage, Colman Domingo, and Ayo Edebiri had multiple films released in 2023, resulting in successful years for each actor.

2024 should be an exciting year for Hollywood, with the effect of "Barbenheimer" still in the minds of audiences and studios. While many blockbuster franchise films are set to be released, many of 2024's most anticipated movies are original projects from auteur filmmakers like Jordan Peele, Robert Eggers, and Bong Joon-ho. Several of the year's biggest blockbusters will see repeat appearances from beloved Hollywood stars.

10 Zendaya

Zendaya will appear in Dune: Part Two and Challengers.

While many Zendaya fans eagerly await Euphoria season 3, the wait is unfortunately prolonged to 2025 due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, Zendaya has two enormously exciting projects releasing in 2024. The actress will star in the film Challengers, which looks to be a highly promising original film from Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino. After a minor appearance in 2021's Dune, Zendaya will also reprise her role as Chani in Dune: Part Two, where she'll have a far more significant role than in the first installment.

9 Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill will appear in Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Anyone who's been to a movie theater recently has seen the ridiculous trailer for Argylle, which sports Henry Cavill with a crazy hairstyle. The actor will be looking to enter the post-Superman and post-Witcher phase of his career with some successful projects, and he's working with the right talent to do so. Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn directs Argylle, and Cavill will also star in Guy Ritchie's next film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Both projects are set to be action-heavy and are from two directors with whom Henry Cavill's skill set meshes perfectly.

8 Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds will appear in Deadpool 3 and IF.

Ryan Reynolds has starred in a series of action films recently, and he'll be continuing that trend with the highly anticipated Deadpool 3. The long-awaited sequel will see Reynolds' quippy hero finally premiere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Hugh Jackman is excitedly set to return as Wolverine. Reynolds will utilize his comedic chops again in the film IF, which stands for Imaginary Friends. The movie is written and directed by John Krasinski, who will co-star alongside Reynolds.

7 Cailee Spaeny

Cailee Spaeny will appear in Alien: Romulus and Civil War.

In Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, one of the best drama movies of 2023, Cailee Spaeny gave a phenomenal breakout performance as Priscilla Presley opposite Jacob Elordi's Elvis. The exciting young actress has two big film releases coming in 2024, starting with Alex Garland's Civil War. The action-packed sci-fi film will examine a bleak, dystopian United States, with Spaeny starring alongside Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons. Spaeny will also star in a new take on the classic Alien franchise in Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus.

6 Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal will appear in Gladiator 2 and Drive-Away Dolls.

An actor who had an enormously successful year in 2023, Pedro Pascal will look to grow his popularity further with two major film releases in 2024. Pascal recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for starring as Joel in HBO's The Last of Us and has massive upcoming film projects for both Star Wars and Marvel Studios, as he was announced as the new Mr. Fantastic. In 2024, Pascal will appear in supporting roles in Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 and Ethan Coen's Drive-Away Dolls, hopefully beginning an unbelievable streak of movie stardom for the 48-year-old actor.

5 Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Aaron Taylor-Johnson will appear in Nosferatu, Kraven the Hunter, and The Fall Guy.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson earned significant praise in 2022 for his role in Bullet Train, and he'll be re-partnering with David Leitch for The Fall Guy, which stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. He'll also be starring in a new comic book movie as one of Spider-Man's rogues, the titular character in Kraven the Hunter. The film will exist outside the MCU, similarly to Venom and Madame Web, instead existing in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. The star will also play a supporting role in Robert Eggers' gothic vampire remake, Nosferatu.

4 Willem Dafoe

Willem Dafoe will appear in Nosferatu and Beetlejuice 2.

Co-starring with Aaryon Taylor-Johnson in Nosferatu is Willem Dafoe, who's coming off a remarkable year in 2023. He played supporting roles in the fantastic films Poor Things and Asteroid City and voiced a character in the English version of The Boy and the Heron. Adding to his extensive filmography of commercial classics and independent gems, Dafoe has two promising projects in 2024. Aside from Nosferatu, Dafoe will appear in another gothic horror movie in the long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice 2, directed by Tim Burton.

3 Joseph Quinn

Joseph Quinn will appear in Gladiator 2 and A Quiet Place: Day One.

The first results of Joseph Quinn's breakout role in Stranger Things season 4 will show in 2024. The actor's supporting role earned him mass critical and cultural acclaim, resulting in some major film roles. Quinn will play Roman Emperor Caracalla in the sequel among an ensemble of Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, and Pedro Pascal. Quinn is also part of the ensemble for A Quiet Place: Day One, one of the most anticipated sci-fi movies releasing in 2024, with Djimon Hounsou, Lupita Nyong'o, and Alex Wolff.

2 Jack Black

Jack Black will appear in Kung Fu Panda 4 and Borderlands.

In 2023, Jack Black voiced Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a film that became far more successful than anyone predicted, grossing over $1 billion at the box office. The comedian has more prominent voice acting roles in the future, returning as Po in Kung Fu Panda 4 and playing the robot Claptrap in the Borderlands movie. Both films are set to be significant commercial releases, and the actor will continue his streak in 2025, voicing Steve in the Minecraft movie.

1 Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth will appear in Transformers One and Furiosa.

While his future as Thor in the MCU is to be seen, Chris Hemsworth still has big commercial projects on the horizon. He'll be playing the character Dementus in the Mad Max prequel, Furiosa, alongside Anya Taylor-Joy. Hemsworth will also voice Optimus Prime in the animated film Transformers One, meaning he's joining two major film franchises in 2024. It's an exciting year for Hemsworth, who's establishing a new era in his career. Even if he returns to Marvel films, his appearances will be far less frequent than in the 2010s.
