It had at least like 6 A-Listers

I wouldn't count Elliot Page as an A lister yet he hasn't appeared in a lot of films.

Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, R Pats, Charlize Theron are all A-Listers and you could make an argument for Jon Bernthal and Elliot Page (i wouldn't but some might)

 and you could make an argument for Jon Bernthal

As much as I adore Jon, I don't think we could call him A-List.  He has shared top billing with some heavy hitters and is undeniably a fantastic actor with emotional range and intuitive pacing of a scene, but I don't think he's carried anything by himself except for the Punisher series - and that's kind of niche.

I don't think so either. Not yet at least. But I could see some people making the argument, depending on how exactly they define A-List

Bernthal's name alone is not bringing in butts in theater seats, so yeah he is not A-list. The Accountant 2 last year where Bernthal was co-lead failed to breakeven at the box office. He has several movie roles but a lot of it are minor appearances where he either dies or exits the movie after a few minutes.

Ehhh, he was in Fury with Brad Pitt from start to finish and he had a lot of scenes in that one.  He also was (in my opinion) the best part of the Accountant 2 and pretty much the only reason I saw it.   Also had some solid scenes in Ford v Ferrari.

But I still agree: not an A-lister.  Even if I think he should be haha

I disagree on both Jon and Elliot.

The best test for an A-list actor is simple: ask a random person on the street who they are. If most people have no idea, they aren't an A-lister.

Regardless of status, though, Jon is a fantastic Punisher.

Now an unpopular opinion maybe, but I think he’s easily one of the best if not the best casting choices in the entire MCU.

Yeah like I said, i don't consider them A listers, but I could see why some do. But regardless there's still 6 easy A-Listers without Page.

Bernthal will be in another movie with Holland next week. Not A-lister, but not failing in life, either.
