Vanity Fair‘s annual Hollywood Issue is always one of the most anticipated magazine covers of the year and this year’s issue is putting the spotlight on the new generation of leading men.
There are three different covers that highlight a total of 12 actors, including a cover shot on the beach with Jeremy Allen White, A$AP Rocky, Glen Powell, Lakeith Stanfield, and Callum Turner.
Another cover shot in a field under an umbrella features Riz Ahmed, Jonathan Bailey, Harris Dickinson, and Andrew Garfield.
The third cover appears to be shot on a studio backlot and features Paul Mescal, Michael B. Jordan, and Austin Butler.

Vanity Fair’s Global Editorial Director, Mark Guiducci writes in his editor’s letter: “Together, the actors on these three covers of Vanity Fair’s 32nd annual Hollywood Issue illustrate something different. These are not the matinee idols of early cinema, sprung fully formed, names staged and hair dyed, from the head of some Zeusian studio chief. Nor do they present as puffed-up superheroes, even if occasionally they play them onscreen. Our new leading men are something much more radical: mere mortals. Often kind, sometimes vulnerable, each extraordinary—never before has a generation of actors been less performative, and more human. Have you ever wondered what an internet boyfriend becomes when he grows up? A movie star, it turns out. They are good guys rather than strongmen or bad boys—and we love them for it.”
The photos were shot by Theo Wenner and styled by Tom Guinness.
