10 Actors Who Could Be The Breakout Stars Of 2018
8. Zazie Beetz
You Know Her From:
Playing Donald Glover's on-again-off-again girlfriend in the Community star's award-winning comedy-drama series Atlanta. The German-American actress has also appeared in three episodes of Netflix's Easy and had a minor role in last year's bad weather disaster flop Geostorm.
In 2018:
Beetz only has one film all year and that is a supporting role in somebody else's star vehicle. She earns her place on this list, though, because that one film is the sequel to 2016's subversive crowd-pleasing unexpectedly huge hit Deadpool.
If John Wick and Atomic Blonde director John Leitch can recapture what made audiences respond to Tim Miller's original film, then Deadpool 2 could be one of 2018's most talked about movies.
The film has already helped match the original's tone by giving us another innovative marketing campaign, something that certainly contributed to the good will towards the first Deadpool. The prominence of Beetz's Neena Thurman AKA luck manipulating mutant Domino in that marketing (particularly an additional nod to the first film's Burt Reynolds parodying poster) suggests that producers may well see her as the movie's potential scene-stealing breakout star.
