In the 80s/90s Arnold was a huge movie star, playing huge men in both serious and comedy roles.

I guess that what I am asking is; what actor today could occupy the same kind of decade defining place as Arnold did in the 80s/90s?

They don't have to be a massive bodybuilder, but they should be the first name that anyone would think of when someone say "2010s/2020s".

Yep. The guy has a crapload of roles, from silly to more action-hero serious. I’d also toss Bautista out there, he’s pretty good and has had a good variety of roles, but Johnson wins I think just by having way more screen time.

Johnson "wins" by not being as good an actor as Bautista.

To be the heir of Arnold you must be a bit cheesy

Drax not cheesy enough? I guess he’s just written that way.

I can see that.

Dwayne Johnson has definitely improved as an actor. I thought he was absolutely shit in The Mummy Returns but great in the more recent Jumanji reboots.
