Sophie Turner has had a decent run of mid-tier high budget movies (the jennifer lawrence xmen movies) and I think is the new live action Lara Croft?
Robb Stark was in that show about the bodyguard who banged the president while calling her “mum” the entire time? I hear that was good? And he has pivoted that into even more pseudo-spy dramas?
Kit was one of the less offensive things about Marvel’s Eternals. Allegedly. Nobody watched it.
But I think it is also important to remember how a lot of these major franchises go. Most of the cast are hired REAL young because they are basically signing a contract to be in something for a decade or more. The known greats are wary of that and are going to want a lot more money and may just bail. See Elizabeth Olsen in the MCU where she clearly decided she was done with that shit. And that is why it tends to be less “Wow, so and so was a great actor” and more “So… both the leads of Twilight kind of just became known for really quirky low budget films they took because they are already set for life monetarily?”
Sometimes you get lucky? Most of the time you don’t. And you rely on your supporting cast to carry the production. And most of the GoT supporting cast were already known amazing talent with established careers who just continued doing their own thang after the fact.

I’ve really enjoyed following the careers of those two. Stewart in particular is very underrated. She has a very laid back, “natural” style which didn’t gel well.with big budget cringe like Twilight but comes off as very realistic and convincing in smaller indie dramas.
I think Stewart just full on embraced weird shit being her thing, and I have really enjoyed just about everything she’s done. And I had zero interest in Twilight.
Rose Leslie (Ygritte, Snow’s wildling live interest) has anthe lead in the Time Traveler’s Wife (series remake). It’s a little cheesy, but I did enjoy it very much and the ratings are quite OK
True and it’s a shame because Emilia Clarke seems to put her all into everything she acts in, but she’s had some REALLY cheesy movies since GoT… Last Christmas, Me Before You, and Marvel’s Secret Invasion series
She seems to be a very nice person, but to me, she had the weakest performances of almost anyone on the show. Could be a me problem, but the scenes with her always just broke my suspension of disbelief. The only thing worse was seeing Ed Sheeran…
Lol I was about to say I just saw her in Gen V, but I looked it up first and turns out Jessica Clement is a lookalike (and GoT doesn’t show up in her credits, so another lookalike).
I can’t recall anything good any of the leading stars have been in after GoT.

Gwendoline Christie making tunes with Sleaford Mods and Big Special is the best thing I’ve seen:

Eternals was also Robb Stark, not Kit. It was not a good film.
It was both, kit was in it for like 5 total minutes and was in the scene mid or post credits with blade.
Richard Madden was a main character tho and had way more screen time.
I have no memory of this. I must have blocked it out.
Peter Dinklage was good in Roofman
The Dinkman was fairly successful before GoT, though.
And the new Toxic Avenger
New dexter too
He pissed even more on GoT fans.

For me it’s always the dark eyebrows and white or platinum hair. Just so obviously not natural.
no, I’m with you on that. I just didn’t really buy her character a lot of the time.
Logan was good, Masie was okay in it. Uhh…yeah.
No major GOT cast member was in Logan.
she was not in that.
I don’t know how to respond to that. I feel like I’m being Mandelad pretty hard right now.
Dafne Keen was the girl in Logan.
Lol I was about to say I just saw her in Gen V, but I looked it up first and turns out Jessica Clement is a lookalike (and GoT doesn’t show up in her credits, so another lookalike).
Maybe you’re thinking of The New Mutants?
Masie was in New Mutants, which was very mediocre.
She was great in Dr Who
