Bad Times At The El Royale Cynthia Erivo
Fox

British singer-songwriter-actress Carmen Erivo had a hell of an end to 2018, stealing the show in Bad Times at the El Royale and taking a supporting role in Steve McQueen's acclaimed thriller Widows within mere months of each other.

Well, 2019 could prove even more fruitful for the rising star, as she's set to play pivotal supporting character Hildy in Doug Liman's upcoming sci-fi fantasy adaptation Chaos Walking.

She'll then follow it up by playing legendary slavery abolitionist Harriet Tubman in a biopic with Oscar potential written all over it.

Erivo proved herself a capable femme fatale in both of her 2018 movies, and 2019 should see her following it up with yet more tenacious portrayals of feminine strength.
