I find Leo to be like that, a great charisma that doesn't erase others from the screen, though that may be because he picks strong scripts that give everyone a chance to shine. Even when he's a clear lead (most movies save The Departed where he shared with Damon and Django where he was supporting, and 2 movies with Winslet), his movies are not Leo shows, because other actors stand out too.  

 

Good luck stealing scenes from Jack Nicholson and Samuel Jackson.

Dammit, how did this become an MCU discussion?

leo's stardom is a distracting presence for me. That's why i generally always gravitate towards the performances of his co-stars. think wolf and catch me if you can are the only movies where i'd call him mvp of the cast.

i haven't seen arrival yet but i feel like renner's recent run has been a bit of a let down. his early indie stuff is strong culminating w/ great hurt locker perf but hollywood doesn't really know how to use him. whatever his thing is it's not action star.

 

Action star roles pay the bills tho.

He should stick to The Town/The Immigrant type character actor stuff. He's perfectly serviceable in Arrival but the script gives him no opportunity to make a real impression.

I mean, just thinking about Whitaker in Ghost Dog has grinning from ear to ear while nodding with approval. Then, I think about The Last King Of Scotland. Of course, Panic Room, Crying Game, Bird, etc.

Ethan reminds me of a 16 year old trying to be super edgy and rebel against society as much as possible

Renner should try comedy too, I dunno if it would be a Leo in Wolf or Gosling in Nice Guys type of revelation but I suspect he could play a total doofus really well.

I mean you're off a year, but not entirely inaccurate.

You see Tele, when a box office forum and a successful movie franchise have special feelings for each other...

I'm glad you're not in casting.

I'm surprised Renner hasn't done comedy, he'd be good in a supporting role similar to Tilda Swinton in Trainwreck, Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Nice Guys were great comedy roles although I suspect neither him or Renner would do a comedy like Why Him? 

[Ethan Hunt]

Rennee is funny in Ghost Protocol and some of the MCU stuff. I could see him doing comedy

I have a friend who is probably honestly Ethan's secret identity. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, but the two are pretty much one and the same.

I could see him as in the next Pink Panther re-imagining.
