16 Actors Who Could Be The Breakout Stars Of 2018

11. Letitia Wright

Black Panther Shuri

British actress Letitia Wright has cut her teeth on hit TV shows like Humans and Black Mirror, but will benefit from a colossal career jolt with her roles in four big-budget Hollywood movies over the next year.

First off, she'll appear in the Liam Neeson-starring action vehicle The Commuter, then she'll play Black Panther's sister Shuri in the superhero's much-anticipated solo movie, she's got a part in Ready Player One (like seemingly every young rising star in the industry), and finally, she'll reprise her Shuri role in Avengers: Infinity War.

It's an incredibly front-loaded year for the actress, in that she hasn't got a single movie releasing after May, but if appearing in two MCU movies and a Spielberg film can't push you to stardom, what can? The fact that Wright's a terrific dramatic actress and should do great work as T'Challa's whip-smart heroine of a sister is just the icing on the cake.
