27 Young Actors Destined To Dominate Hollywood In The Next Decade

23. Amandla Stenberg

Young Actors
Warner Bros.

Known for: The Hunger Games, Everything, Everything

Amandla Stenberg first stole our hearts back in 2012 when she portrayed Rue in The Hunger Games. She would go on to appear in a number of other films before landing the lead role in 2017's YA adaptation Everything, Everything. Playing housebound sick teenager Madeline Whittier, this was Stenberg's first headlining role and she ultimately thrived, turning in a thoroughly compelling outing.

Stenberg's success paved the way for future opportunities as she now leads this year's The Darkest Minds, and is also set to star in The Hate U Give and British war romance Where Hands Touch — playing the lead role in both.

She has already proven herself as a leading lady and her career will undoubtedly continue on this upwards trajectory in the coming years.
