At present, Justice Smith has only five released projects to his name, though he certainly made an impression with his memorable supporting performance in 2015's Paper Towns, not to mention his impressive lead work in Netflix's The Get Down more recently.

Though The Get Down was cancelled earlier this year, Smith doesn't need to worry, as he's set to appear in two major upcoming Hollywood projects.

Firstly, he'll co-star in next summer's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as a young scientist caught up in the usual dinosaur rampage shenanigans, and given how absurdly successful the previous film was, that's a major profile boost above all else.

Next month he'll also start shooting the much-anticipated Detective Pikachu film, where he will play the lead role of Tim Goodman, the human protagonist who teams up with Pikachu to solve various Pokemon-related crimes.

Whether or not it ends up being any good, the fact he's being entrusted to lead such a huge movie is no doubt going to have studios keenly offering him even bigger Hollywood work. It helps that he's super talented too, of course.
