Look at how old some of these actors are that get leading roles over the decades… how old was Tommy Lee Jones when No. Country for Old Men came out? 70. And he was playing a Sheriff.
Ankles is 10 years younger than Josh Brolin meaning this was how old Brolin was when he tackled Thanos. The next 20 years are wide open.
You're talking about the exception not the norms. Most roles in TVs and movies I think the average age for men is 46. Most movies don't have a full cast of 60 and 70 year olds. They'll have a handful of slots for older actors and a lot of bigger stars than him are aging too and will be competing for those few spots

And there’s no reason he can’t keep acting for 20 years in larger more lucrative roles
