10 stars promising to dominate the global box office in 2017

Vin Diesel, Emma Watson, Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson Johansson... are the stars predicted to make a splash in cinema in 2017 with a series of blockbusters ready to take over the box office.

1. Vin Diesel

After the resounding success of Fast & Furious 7, which grossed over 1.5 billion USD worldwide, Vin Diesel will make an impressive comeback in part 8 opening this summer. The blockbuster Fast & Furious 8 is scheduled to premiere on April 14, 2017 with a series of extremely magnificent supercars from luxury car brands such as Bentley, Maclaren, Maserati, Jaguar, Lamborghini... along with special models such as the Dodge "Ice" Charger, Ice Ram and the "luxury" Ripsaw tank. The film will have scenes shot in Cuba and New York City, USA with the participation of two-time Oscar winner for Best Actress - Charlize Theron in the role of the villain Cipher.

Along with Fast & Furious 8, Vin Diesel's name will also continue to be heated up in the hit movie series Xander Cage with the title xXx: Return of Xander Cage released in January 2017.

2. Scarlett Johansson

Actress Scarlett Johansson promises to make an impressive return in Ghost in the Shell.

Scarlett Johansson, who is familiar to the public through superhero movies such as The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016)... will have an impressive comeback in 2017 with the role of Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell. In this latest movie, Scarlett Johansson will take on an equally important role as her roles in previous movies, which is to break up the conspiracy of high-tech organizations that are operating underground.

In the past seven years, since Iron Man 2 (2010), Scarlett has not been criticized for her bad acting in any film. On the Rotten Tomatoes website, most of her roles are rated as good or better. And that further shows the hope that the "black widow" will once again explode in 2017.

3. Johnny Depp

Actor Johnny Depp will continue to transform into Captain Jack Sparrow in the film series The Caribbean

As a name that never ceases to be “hot” in the film industry, Johnny Depp will once again transform into the “crazy”, pragmatic Jack Sparrow in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film called Dead Man Tell No Tales. The film, starring famous actors such as Kaya Scodelario, Brenton Thwaites, Golshifteh Farahani,… will be released in May 2017.

In 2016, actor Johnny Depp participated in the movie Alice Through the Looking Glass, but this was an extremely bad movie after the huge shadow of Alice in Wonderland (2010). But overall, Johnny Depp's acting is still nothing to complain about, worth the expectation of movie lovers for the actor's acting in the latest blockbuster from Disney in 2017.

4. Mark Wahlberg

The 45-year-old actor will play the lead role in part 5 of the Transformers series.

It seems that the name Mark Wahlberg has become a “brand” for two parts of the series about robot transforming cars: Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014 and the latest part about to be released at the end of June 2017 called Transformers: The Last Knight, directed by “king of explosions” Michael Bay.

The trailer for this latest part was released in recent weeks and has revealed some of the content of the film: still the explosion scene, the fight of the human alliance against alien invaders from outside the earth...

In recent years, the actor has starred in many good movies, including Three Kings (1999), The Departed (2006), The Fighter (2010), Lone Survivor (2014), Deepwater Horizon (2016)... In most of the movies, Mark Wahlberg plays his role well.

5. Emma Watson

The blockbuster Beauty and the Beast will heat up Emma Watson's name.

In March 2017, Walt Disney will release Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as the female lead and veteran actor Kevin Kline as the monster. This is a remake of the 1991 animated film by the same studio. The content of the film remains the same, only the format is changed from 2D to live-action 3D and the characters in the film will be more refined. However, Walt Disney also promises that the screenwriting team will add a few details to make the film more attractive and lively.

Emma Watson is a famous British movie star from the Harry Potter series. This has created a stepping stone for Emma's later roles, but at the same time it has also created difficulties for Emma: she has to try her best to overcome the huge shadow of the role of Hermione. After playing Angela Gray in the movie Regression (2015), director Alejandro Amenábar commented on Emma as follows: "Emma is a very smart girl, she is extremely talented and understands the meaning of the whole work. When making complex movies like this, you need to have partners who understand what you are trying to convey. She understood very clearly what she needed to do from the first day of filming."

Emma Watson's acting is getting more and more mature through her roles, and we can't wait for this star to shine in the upcoming blockbuster Beauty and the Beast.

6. Tom Hardy

Actor Tom Hardy collaborates with director Christopher Nolan in the latest blockbuster Dunkirk

Good news for movie lovers in general and fans of director Christopher Nolan in particular is that in July 2017, another work of this director is expected to be released with the title Dunkirk. The film tells the story of one of the historic evacuations on the coast of Dunkirk, similar to the film Atonement (2007) which is also about World War II. And of course, actor Tom Hardy will appear in an important role in the film Dunkirk along with other actors such as Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Aneurin Barnard, Jack Lowden, James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan, Tom Glynn-Carney...

Tom is known to the audience for his diverse roles, but most of them are cold and tough roles. Since the "blockbuster" Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015, it seems that the actor's reputation has "calmed down" for a while. However, when he received the script and agreed to cooperate with director Christopher Nolan, this can be considered one of Tom's rare soldier roles up to this point in his acting career.

7. Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise will once again "stir up" the global box office in the movie The Mummy with a new generation of young Hollywood actors.

Tom Cruise seems to be building a “Tom Empire” for himself with actor Tom Hanks. Tom Cruise will make a fascinating comeback in early June 2017 with an action role in The Mummy, an ambition of Universal to create many films and develop into a dark cinematic world called Dark Universe.

The Mummy is directed by Alex Kurtzman, and in addition to Tom Cruise, there are many other famous actors such as Russell Crowe as Dr. Henry Jekyll, Annabelle Wallis as Jenny Halsey, Courtney B. Vance as Colonel Gideon Forster... The film will tell about the world's disasters after Tom Cruise, a soldier, participates in excavating an ancient tomb and revives ancient dark forces... The film's script was written by Jon Spaihts and Christopher McQuarrie.

8. Tom Holland

Tom Holland as the tricky Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man is back. In fact, the genre of superhero movies has never stopped being hot and the name Spider-Man Peter Parker is like an infinite source of "resources" for Hollywood movie producers to exploit forever. But the actor playing Spider-Man in the brand new movie Spider-Man: Homecoming scheduled to be released in early July 2017 is a familiar name that the public has seen in the movie Captain America: Civil War (2016), that is Tom Holland. The British actor is still quite young, 20 years old, but with his quite successful role in 2016, Tom has left quite a deep impression on filmmakers.

After the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer was released, the young Spider-Man's personality was revealed as funny, arrogant, aggressive... The film's content is about Spider-Man "learning from a master" with Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr.) to deal with the dark forces. On the Rotten Tomatoes movie website, Spider-Man: Homecoming has up to 98% of the total audience waiting for this movie to be released, and just talking about the script alone is enough to see how attractive it is: written by Jonathan M. Goldstein, John Francis Daley, Christopher Ford, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers and Jon Watts.

Hollywood cinema is not lacking young, talented actors besides the veteran actors. 2017 will once again be a challenge for actor Tom Holland in affirming his name in this seventh art playground.

9. Daisy Ridley

Daisy Ridley, the potential actress of the Star Wars series.

Young actress Daisy Ridley will continue to play the role of Rey in Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is expected to be released in mid-December 2017. With this role, also in part 7 of the Star Wars series, Daisy Ridley is highly appreciated by experts, and this can be considered a positive signal for the British actress to participate in part 8.

Unlike some other young actors who have just entered the profession, Daisy Ridley's acting is mature, conveying the "spirit" of the role. In this part 8, Daisy Ridley will act with the old cast of part 7 including Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Benicio Del Toro...

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received 99% of the audience's expectations, and that shows that Daisy Ridley can absolutely shine as an A-list star with her "compatriot" Tom Holland.

10. Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston with his elegant and rugged look in Kong: Skull Island

At the age of 35, Taylor Swift's ex-lover is quite busy with a packed acting schedule. The actor will transform into a worldly, elegant character in the latest blockbuster called Kong: Skull Island.

The film has a production budget of up to 190 million USD, set in many places including Vietnam with filming locations in Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh. Tom Hiddleston plays a former British soldier and a female war correspondent - played by Brie Larson - who join the strange expedition.

Tom's character is also different from the previous superhero movies that this actor has played. In the Avengers series, the public is used to seeing Tom as Loki, Thor's brother, often using divine power to commit his crimes. But in Kong: Skull Island, Tom will transform into an ordinary character, embarking on a journey of discovery in a dangerous land...

The movie is scheduled to be released in March 2017.
