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".

Dave Bautista mirrors Arnold Schwarzenegger's path from sports to cinema, where he got action movie roles because of his physique. And like Schwarzenegger, Bautista's transition into diverse acting roles showcases his versatility beyond that.

Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, but he was also excellent in Blade Runner 2049 and the two Dune flicks.

His character in Glass Onion is absolutely terrible, I love to hate him in it. He does such a good job with it.
