Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake nailed his role as Sean Parker in The Social Network. Now the hottie is making things even more interesting this summer with sexy and more relatable characters. He reunites with his ex-Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher and steams things up with Mila Kunis in Friends With Benefits. As if two films weren’t enough, Timberlake will also be rubbing shoulders with Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried and Alex Pettyfer in In Time.

Jessica Chastain
She seems to be everywhere, now-and-days, from Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life to co-starring with Sam Worthington in The Debt, Jessica Chastain is one star to keep your eyes on. This Juilliard drama major began performing at a young age and she seems to be working at full steam with over seven projects hitting theaters in the next two years. If you’ve seen Tree of Life keep an eye out for Chastain’s performances in The Help and The Debt.

James McAvoy
There’s no bigger role this summer than Charles Xavier, and James McAvoy was just the man to bring this comic book figure back to life. The much anticipated X-Men: First Class is one of many projects McAvoy is doing. He's back at work on two other films, an animated children’s movie and Welcome to the Punch with Mark Strong. Expect this summer star to continue to charm us in years to come.

Jennifer Lawrence
Academy Award nominee Jennifer Lawrence became a household name after receiving a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Winter’s Bone. It didn’t take long for major film studios to notice the young talent. She recently worked with Jodi Foster in The Beaver and is now co-starring in X-Men: First Class as Raven. All seems to be going great for Lawrence, who just recently landed the coveted lead role in The Hunger Games.

Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Eisenberg became the cutest geeky boy in Hollywood after his Oscar nominated performance in The Social Network. He left the drama behind to exercise his comedic acting chops in 30 Minutes or Less with Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari. Eisenberg will also be co-starring in Woody Allen’s next film Bop Decameron with Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page and Alec Baldwin.

Anthony Hopkins, Robin Williams and recently Mel Gibson are just a few of the major stars Anton Yelchin has worked with.

She kicked butt last fall in Tron: Legacy and now this NYC native is back for more action.
