Michelle Rodriguez is primarily known for the Furious films, but not as a lead. In terms of large franchises, Pine is known as a lead for the rebooted  Star Trek films, which are a second tier franchise, and for a co-starring (but not really) role in the Wonder Woman films. Pine would be a significant lead, but at the same time he's not Duane Johnson, Robert Downey Jr., etc. Hugh Grant has had a stellar career but folks who go to this sort of film aren't going because they need to see Hugh Grant.There's big names and there's Big Names. None of these are names that move the dial a ton when it comes to opening weekend box office. In Hollywood terms, they aren't that bankable (truly bankable stars are a short list).This article is a few months old, but note that none of the D&D actors are included:[URL unfurl="true"]https://247wallst.com/special-report/2022/11/21/the-worlds-most-bankable-actors-right-now/[/URL]</blockquote>
