10 Actors Who Should Star in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

7. Sam Claflin

It is becoming increasingly evident that Sam Claflin is well-poised for a leading role in a major franchise right about now. Although he doesn't have the long rap sheet of film roles that some of the other actors on this list possess, he's certainly got the talent that can compete with them. After graduating from the prestigious LAMDA school, he wasted no time in establishing himself in the film industry, shooting immediately into the big leagues with Pillars Of The Earth and Pirates Of The Caribbean. He's paid his dues with supporting performances in things like Snow White and the Huntsman and more recently The Hunger Games, and quite frankly he seems almost preternaturally charismatic. He also has a quality that makes him appear to have hidden depths and a natural quickness. Audiences would be more than willing to watch him take the reins on an entire new trilogy penned by JK Rowling, and right now he's at the point in his career where he's ready for something like this.
