Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie
Beauty and charisma go hand in hand with Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie. Both are two of Hollywood’s most iconic female stars. No slushy rom-com for these ladies. Instead, a compelling drama starring Jolie and Theron as rivals would be just the ticket.

Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer
Another double take is needed here, with both actors blessed with the same chiseled good looks and buff physique. Cavill is known for his Superman role, and rumor has it that Bomer may well play the iconic superhero after Cavill hangs up his cape. But before both take flight, they should meet halfway for a more down-to-earth cinema pairing.

Chris Evans and John Krasinski
Both actors auditioned for the part of Captain America, with Evans eventually securing the coveted role. But like a true gentleman, Krasinski later admitted that his buddy nailed the part. Evans has since moved on, and with Krasinski honing his filmmaking skills, it’s about time these two agreed on a project together, sharing either acting duties or Evans agreeing to be directed by his old pal.
