10 Actors About To Make Their Best Movie
6. Jenna Ortega - Klara and the Sun
Jenna Ortega has achieved a whole hell of a lot for her mere 22 years of age, as the co-lead of the fifth and sixth Scream films as well as Astrid Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Wednesday Addams in Netflix's hit TV series Wednesday.
Ortega's most acclaimed work to date, however, is as the survivor of a school shooting in 2021's drama The Fallout, though for her new film Klara and the Sun, she just might graduate into an awards darling in her own right.
Klara and the Sun is a new dystopian sci-fi film from Taika Waititi, starring Ortega as a robot named Klara, who exists to ease the loneliness of those she lives with.
Ortega will star alongside Amy Adams, Natasha Lyonne, Simon Baker, and Steve Buscemi, and given that Waititi directed Scarlett Johansson to a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Jojo Rabbit in 2020, Ortega could very well be next.
With a script from Emmy-winning Mad Men writer Dahvi Waller, there's no reason to doubt this being Ortega's most prestigious project to date.
