10 Actors With Game-Changing Movie Roles Coming Up
5. Lily-Rose Depp - Nosferatu
Lily holds the blessing and curse of a notable surname drenched in Hollywood prestige, reputation, and controversy due to her father Johnny. Still only young, it's more than understandable that she's still making her mark in the industry. With her name set to headline HBO's The Idol opposite The Weeknd, the American network's upcoming drama centres on a cult leader's complex relationship with a pop star and the consequential romance and events that supersede as a result.
This could certainly be considered a game-changing role for Depp, however the actress is signed on to lead Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake. At first glance, this is a huge get for the 23-year-old, but it's not as straightforward as that, as the French-born actress is set to replace the hugely popular Anya Taylor-Joy in the role. Like many before her, Lily-Rose Depp will be keen to showcase she deserves the spotlight due to her acting as opposed to her title.
With that in mind, Depp does face an uphill task to please audiences and critics alike due to Anya’s super-stardom and the outpouring of hate and negativity on social media that ensued following news of the re-casting. However, should she succeed in pouring her heart and soul into the part, the actress will force many to eat their words and it will undoubtedly pave a promising path in Horror to navigate through that her father himself once accomplished.
