Every year the young actress seems to be getting even more popular so there is no doubt in my mind she will one day be one of the most well known actresses.
I kind of thought she was already one of the most well known actresses.
Daisy Jazz Isobel Ridley is an English actress. She began her acting career by appearing in minor television roles, before being cast as the main protagonist, Rey, in the Star Wars sequel trilogy – first appearing in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. People on social media have been giving her a bad time over the sequel trilogy. I understand not liking those movies, but attacking Daisy Ridley is stupid, if anything blame Kathleen Kennedy or Rian Johnson.
28 year old Daisy Ridley gained international fame for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Hopefully this amazing performance will lead her to even more success.
28 year old John Boyega acted in a few movies in his native Britain, but he rose to prominence when he starred in the Star Wars sequel trilogy of films. With this new international fame, this surely opens new doors for this young actor.
24 year old Sophie Turner made her acting debut in Game of Thrones, just like Maisie Williams, and she starred in two X-Men movies. This is a very good start to her acting career, a talented actress such as her will most likely find great success.
Margaret Constance "Maisie" Williams (born 15 April 1997) is an English actress. She made her professional acting debut as Arya Stark of Winterfell in the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones in 2011, for which she won the EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, the Portal Award ...read more.

25 year old Timothée Chalamet has starred in multiple movies in the last five years and is keeping his momentum going in 2021 with the movies Dune, The French Dispatch and Don't Look Up.
Acting alongside Hugh Jackman in Logan is a big deal and her performance was amazing, I'm sure this will open doors for her.
She was amazing in Logan

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a British actress, model, and activist. Born in Paris and brought up in Oxfordshire, Watson attended the Dragon School as a child and trained as an actress at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts. I added Watson to the list. She is very well known because of her work in the Harry Potter movies, but when you compare her to actors like Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc, she is far from being on the same level of fame and accomplishments.
Emily Jean "Emma" Stone is an American actress. One of the world's highest-paid actresses, she has won the Academy Award Best Actress Award, been nominated for two British Academy Film Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, and has won two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
