Tilda Swinton is one of the very few actors out there who genuinely gives a different performance every time she goes in front of a camera, and can't ever be accused of repeating herself or going the lazy route.

Across more than sixty feature film roles, Swinton has carved out a niche for herself as one of cinema's great chameleons, both in terms of the intense physical transformations she goes under and her ability to disappear into a seemingly impossible array of roles.

Swinton's bread and butter has always been the arthouse scene, working with uncompromising auteurs such as Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, Luca Guadagnino, and Bong Joon-ho, yet she's also proven herself a distinctive fixture in more mainstream fare such as Constantine, the Narnia films, Trainwreck and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

She has such a uniquely compelling presence on-screen that she immediately draws the viewer's attention no matter the material, and as the years pass, one suspects Swinton's only going to become a more fascinatingly unpredictable performer.
