Mackenzie Davis has fast been on-the-rise as one of the most intriguing young actresses of her generation, with memorable roles on TV shows Halt and Catch Fire and the last series of Black Mirror, as well as her more recent performance as Mariette in Blade Runner 2049.

Next year sees her star in Jason Reitman's Tully, as a night nanny who starts working for an overstretched single mother (Charlize Theron). The strangely secretive nature of the film has many buzzing about the exact nature of Davis' part, which some have speculated might be a reimagined Mary Poppins-type character.

Though Reitman's output is incredibly hit and miss, this has the potential to be Davis' starmaking role if all the secrecy is really worth it. Could Davis be an Oscar hopeful this time next year?
