Casting the Successors to Leading Roles of Popular Film Series

There are many popular heroes in film that are so beloved, the studios will continue to spotlight them for years to come. However, the actors that play them won't be able to portray them for much longer. Who should the torch pass on to? My suggestions below!

I liked your Gary Oldman & Manu Bennett picks.
Those would be good choices without a doubt.

I wish Bradley Cooper would take over as Indiana Jones,he has the right look,acting chops & can pull off believable action.
Chris Pratt has been mentioned as a favorite for Indy but he should be Jack Burton in a new tale of the Big Trouble In Little China character. He has the look & comedy skills to pull it off. The Rock is attached to that film sadly. He's cool but wrong for that part.
