25 Celebs We Predict Will Make A Comeback In 2019

In the world of Hollywood, it seems like there are constantly new faces that are being thrust into the limelight. Hollywood has cultivated a reputation of constantly looking for the next big "it" man or woman and there is also the negative practice of executives seeming to push women out to pasture once they reach a particular age. Women in the entertainment industry have been known to try and appear as young as possible in order to maintain opportunities and that has often entailed lunchtime procedures or full on face lifts. There have been a number of famous faces that have gone to extreme lengths in order to try and maintain popularity in the entertainment industry but not everyone has managed to do so.

It's interesting how the entertainment industry seems to have an ever-changing rotation of who will be praised and who will be ousted from the limelight. While there are some celebrities that undergo a dry spell, only to never be heard from again. Yet, there are others that manage to come back from a series of blunders in both their personal and professional lives. For 2019, there are a number of celebrities that are slated to make a huge comeback and some of them might be a bit surprising. Check out our list of the 25 celebs we predict will make a comeback in 2019 and see if any of these famous faces might be interesting enough to follow.

25 Lindsay Lohan

When Lindsay Lohan was first introduced to the world as a child actress, people couldn't help but remark on her incredible talent and the public instantly fell in love with her freckled face. As she continued to grow in front of the cameras, it seemed like hopes were high that she would be able to transition out of the child actress stage without any damaging incidents. At one point, she tried her hand as a pop music artist but things began to spiral for her. Yet, she seems to be making a comeback and recently became the spokesperson for Lawyers.com.

24 Megan Fox

There was a time when Megan Fox was seen as one of the most sought-after young actresses for the big screen and was often compared to Angelina Jolie for her incredible beauty. Yet, that all changed when there were some statements made by her in regards to the famed director, Michael Bay. Her comments led to getting replaced in the Transformers film series and there was a definite lull in the options she had in Hollywood. Yet, it seems like the tide is starting to turn for Fox and 2019 will be a big year. E! News reported on her success as a lingerie designer for a line with Frederick's of Hollywood, which seems like a natural fit. She's also coming out with a television travel series entitled, Legends Of The Lost With Megan Fox.

23 Angelina Jolie

There was a time when Angelina Jolie was seen as one of Hollywood's biggest stars but a series of flops in her personal life have caused her status in the minds of the public to fall a bit. It's been quite some time since she's appeared on the big screen as a leading lady but that's going to change in 2019. She's adopted a brand new pubic persona and The New York Post reported on this change in 2017. The feature stated,

"Angelina 4.0 is now a harried single mom, fresh off a divorce, finally installed in a new home after nine months of living out of suitcases in a rental."

For those looking forward to seeing her again on the big screen, Jolie will be seen in Maleficent 2 alongside Elle Fanning.

22 Demi Lovato

Despite the fact that Demi Lovato was first introduced to the world as a child actress on the television series, Barney and Friends, people know her best now for being a pop music artist. She released a string of hit singles that solidified her in the world of pop music and had a number of other successes that made headlines. From her line of athletic wear with Fabletics to her stint as a judge on the reality singing competition series, The X-Factor, it seemed like she was a rising star in Hollywood. Yet, things started to change a bit with a few rocky patches in her personal life, including a stint in a rehab facility. US Weekly reported on this and stated, "As of now, there's going to be no work activity for the rest of the year. Demi will come back hard in 2019."

21 Rosamund Pike

There was a time when Rosamund Pike was referred to as Hollywood's newest "it" girl and starred in a number of ultra-memorable roles. Yet, her appearance on the big screen as a Bond girl seemed to have hurt her rise in Hollywood since she portrayed a woman that was older than her. While the role was definitely a good one, it's not always the best idea for an actress to age herself in the eyes of Hollywood executives. When she got the leading role in Gone Girl, it seemed like she had finally got back on track but that didn't mean that she immediately became Hollywood's favorite "it" girl again.

Yet, that seems to be changing with Pike's newest roles that feature a grittier side that will undoubtedly spark some more interest in 2019.

Her most recent success was starring in A Private War, the real-life story of the journalist, Marie Colvin.

20 Eric Bana

Eric Bana is an actor that has had a number of roles throughout his time in Hollywood but is probably best remembered for playing Hulk on the big screen. Yet, he wasn't the only actor to take on this role and it seems like the world has forgotten all about his portrayal since Mark Ruffalo took over in the Avengers film series. However, he's making a big comeback for 2019 and has already garnered a huge amount of attention with his television role in Dirty John. Screen Australia reported on another new opportunity for Bana and stated, "[He] has been cast as the lead role of Aaron Falk in the feature film adaptation of Jane Harper's bestselling and award-winning novel, The Dry." It looks like 2019 will be a big year for this former Hulk actor.

19 Charlie Hunnam

Charlie Hunnam is an actor that has had a number of roles throughout his time in the entertainment industry but it was his Sons of Anarchy role that really skyrocketed him into fame. When the show came to an end in 2014, people wondered whether or not he would ever find a role that would be equally received positively in the eyes of the public. He wound up having a few roles on the big screen but they weren't received unanimously well and it didn't help with becoming known as a true leading man in Hollywood. Yet, things seem like they will change for the better in 2019. Pop Culture reported on Hunnam having five separate films in the works and the public will definitely get to see more of this Sons of Anarchy actor.

18 Ben Affleck

There was a time when Ben Affleck was seen as one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, with a string of hugely popular films under his belt. From his leading role in Pearl Harbor to his heartthrob performance in Armageddon, it seemed like he would be a constant figure in Hollywood. Yet, things started to take a turn for the worse when he had a number of misses on the big screen. He was hugely criticized for his portrayal in Gigli and Daredevil and people wondered whether or not he could come back as an actor. However, his role as Batman was received positively and there is already a huge amount of buzz regarding his portrayal in the Netflix action-drama, Triple Frontier. It looks like things are looking up for Affleck in 2019.

17 Selena Gomez

When Selena Gomez was first introduced to the world as a young actress, it was obvious that she was going to be a huge talent. She proved that she was able to captivate an audience on the small screen and she eventually transitioned to become known as a pop music artist. While she did have a few stints on the big screen as an actress shedding her former child star persona, she didn't exactly turn into the next big Hollywood "it" girl. In fact, Hollywood Life reported on Gomez and her stagnant career and stated, "Sel has remained out of the spotlight for the majority of 2018, but she's hoping to get back to work int he new year." She's reportedly hoping to release new music in 2019 and her fans are extremely excited for her to come back as the pop star they've come to know and love.

16 Jennifer Aniston

There was a time when Jennifer Aniston was known to the world as one of the most beloved and sought-after actresses on both the small and big screen. Her role on the hit television series, Friends, created a public persona that really made people want to root for her. When she transitioned onto the big screen, she achieved a huge amount of success but seemed a bit pigeonholed in the roles that she was offered. She started to take on roles with a tad more grit but people seemed far more interested in her personal life than what she was doing on the big screen. Celebratainment reported, "The Dumplin actress - who announced in February she and her husband Theroux had separated at the end of 2017 - admitted she and her friends haven't particularly enjoyed 2018 so she's looking forward to embracing 'new beginnings.'"

15 Shia LaBeouf

There was a time when Shia LaBeouf was seen as one of Young Hollywood's favorite actors and he was positioning himself to become the newest action star on the big screen. He starred in a number of ultra-memorable films, including Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Yet, it was his role in the Transformers film series that really seemed to captivate the public. However, a series of flops in his personal life and some run-ins with the law have created a completely different persona and people wondered whether or not he would be able to regain his status as a sought-after actor. There is a huge amount of buzz surrounding his role in Honey Boy and it's set to make a world premiere at Sundance in 2019.

14 Jesse Eisenberg

There are a number of young actors that have appeared in roles that all seem to have the same sort of personality and it's made it difficult for some of them to stand apart from the rest of the pack. Jesse Eisenberg is one of those actors that seems to have had to fight to stand out in Hollywood, despite having a number of ultra-memorable roles. After spending some time away from the limelight, news of his big comeback return in 2019 has sparked some major buzz. Rolling Stone reported that Eisenberg will be returning for the sequel to Zombieland in 2019 and the public has already shown a great deal of excitement to see him back on the big screen.

13 Danny McBride

For those that aren't fully aware of the news regarding what happens behind the camera, they may not realize that Danny McBride is far more than just a comedic actor. His portrayal in films like Pineapple Express and This Is The End didn't exactly show him as a typical Hollywood heartthrob and he wasn't seen as particularly intelligent either. While he starred in a number of other roles since his memorable character in the 2013 film, This Is The End, it seems like he's had more success behind the camera than in front of it in recent years. he received a huge amount of acclaim for Halloween and there is already talk about a sequel. HBO also released details regarding his role on The Righteous Gemstones, which features big name actors like John Goodman.

12 Will Smith

Will Smith may have started out as a rapper and TV actor but it was his appearances on the big screen that really seemed to bring on a huge amount of acclaim. His roles in films like The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds were received extremely well but that doesn't mean he hasn't had a fair share of flops on the big screen. Yet, it seems like he's definitely on the fast track back to being on top in Hollywood and 2019 is said to be filled with a number of different projects. The Observer reported on his upcoming projects and stated, "Following years of rumors, Smith and Martin Lawrence officially announced that a threequel to their popular Bad Boys franchise, tentatively titled Bad Boys For Life, was finally getting off the ground."

11 Al Pacino

There are very few actors in Hollywood that have been able to achieve the same sort of success as Al Pacino. While other actors would feel lucky to simply appear in one big screen role that became iconic in the eyes of moviegoers, Pacino has a string of roles that have become more than just a tad noteworthy. From appearing in The Godfather Trilogy to starring in Scarface, it seems like Pacino has already solidified himself as the gold status in Hollywood. Yet, it's been quite some time since he's had a role that has really resonated with audiences and people are looking forward to seeing his return. This will definitely come in 2019 since the public has already seen glimpses of scenes that have been filmed from The Irishman, starring Robert De Niro and Pacino.

10 Cuba Gooding Jr.

There was a time when Cuba Gooding Jr. was seen as one of Hollywood's most talented leading men on the big screen and he was heralded for his portrayals in films like Boyz n the Hood and Men of Honor. Yet, he also starred in a series of flop films that really seemed to damage his reputation as a serious Hollywood actor. Yet, he's looking to turn his persona around in 2019 and has already signed on to appear in a few roles that will help to change how the public perceives him. Not only has he signed on to reprise the role of Billy Flynn in the famed Broadway show, Chicago, but he also landed a role in the Wudi Pictures Team project for an upcoming thriller.

9 Robert Pattinson

When Robert Pattinson appeared in the first Twilight film, he had already started to garner a fan base due to some of his smaller roles. Yet, it was his role as Edward Cullen that really catapulted him to worldwide fame. His fame continued throughout the entire Twilight film series but there were some snafus in his personal life that seemed to take precedence over his acting talent. Upon the completion of the Twilight film series, there were a few roles that didn't seem to measure up for Pattinson and people still want to see him breakout from his previous vampire role. It seems like 2019 will be his comeback year, especially since he's already signed on to appear in the upcoming film, The Lighthouse, which comes from Robert Eggers, the filmmaker heralded for The Witch.

8 Ian Somerhalder

Ian Somerhalder is an actor, producer, and director that has made a name for himself in Hollywood through the television series, The Vampire Diaries. He had previously introduced himself to TV audiences through his role on Lost but it was this vampire role of Damon Salvatore that really seemed to catapult his fame status in the entertainment industry. However, all of that came to an end once Vampire Diaries was taken off the air. Fans of Somerhalder have wondered whether or not he would ever come back to be seen on the small screen and they have had their wishes granted for 2019. The Hollywood Reporter released a feature on Somerhalder and there was a huge amount of buzz regarding Somerhalder's new role in the Netflix series, V-Wars.

7 Chloë Grace Moretz

When Chloë Grace Moretz was first introduced to the world, people couldn't help but notice how talented she was and how great her intuition was in the roles she chose to portray on the big screen. She received a huge amount of success through roles with a bit of grit and managed to pull off everything from a character from a Stephen King novel to a young vampire in Let Me In. As she began to transition out of the child actor phase, there were a few misses on the big screen. People have wondered whether or not she had used up all of her good luck in the roles she's chosen but those fears should be put aside in 2019. She's making her directorial debut for a short film in 2019 and is set to release her film, Greta, in March 2019.

6 Kristen Stewart

Despite the fact that Kristen Stewart had appeared in a number of roles prior to playing the lead character in the Twilight film series, it was this Bella Swan role that really seemed to dominate the way the world perceived her. People couldn't help but associate her with her onscreen character, especially after it was evident that she was carrying on a personal relationship with her fellow costar, Robert Pattinson.

Yet, the issues surrounding their personal relationship definitely hindered her appeal with the public and it seemed like her opportunities on the big screen started to dwindle.

Yet, she is set to make a huge comeback in 2019 and is slated to appear in the reboot for the Charlie's Angels franchise.

5 Ben Stiller

When it comes to comedic actors, it seems like they each have their own unique style in how they convey a character. Ben Stiller is one of those actors that has managed to cultivate a distinct persona on the big screen, despite the fact that so many of his onscreen characters have been completely different from one another. While some people have known him best for his Zoolander character, others constantly think of him through his role in the Meet the Parents films. Yet, it seems like it's been awhile since Stiller has had an ultra-memorable role on the big screen. 2019 seems to be his comeback year and The Cinemaholic released a feature on his upcoming projects and stated, "We can only hope that the latest new Ben Stiller movies and TV shows would be as good as some of his recent ones."

4 Justin Bieber

When Justin Bieber first emerged as a pop star hopeful posting videos online, he received a huge amount of attention from those that saw him as hugely talented. Both Usher and Justin Timberlake sought to sign Bieber but it was Usher who wound up signing him to Island Records. While he received a huge amount of acclaim through a series of hit albums and memorable singles, he has also had a few snafus in his personal life. After a few changes behind the scenes and a number of failed personal relationships, people have wondered whether or not he would ever return to the same sort of success Bieber achieved early on in his time in the music industry. With news of his new studio album and tour dates coming in 2019, it will be interesting to see how much has changed with this pop music artist.

3 Mischa Barton

There was a time when Mischa Barton was seen as a hugely talented actress, with a great deal of promise for a future on the big screen. While her role in the film, The Sixth Sense, was quite small, that didn't mean that it was completely forgettable. In fact, this portrayal was actually a great boost to people thinking that she could be more than just a television actress. However, things started to go south for Barton, from personal snafus to fluctuations in her physical appearance. Yet, it seems like she is starting to turn things around and The Hollywood Reporter released a feature in October 2018 that states Barton will be joining The Hills Reboot for 2019.

2 Denise Richards

Denise Richards was once thought of as one of Hollywood's most sought-after starlets due to her incredible beauty and physical appeal. Portrayals in films like Wild Things and Undercover Brother have shown her as steamy eye candy on the big screen but people have started to see her as far more than just that, due to issues in her personal life. Reports on how she's handled her home life with Charlie Sheen and the children he had with his ex-wife has depicted Richards as a mother figure that people have rooted for in recent years. While she may not be starring in a plethora of roles on the big screen in 2019, she has signed on to become the newest member of the reality series, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

1 Brad Pitt

Yet, things have changed for this Hollywood actor over the years. On top of the snafus in his personal life, he's had to step aside over the years to make room for new leading men that have emerged from Young Hollywood. Yet, that doesn't mean that he is completely forgotten in the minds of the public and there are still many people that are hoping for a comeback. Pitt is set to appear alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the Quentin Tarantino film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and is also set to appear in the 2019 film, Ad Astra.
