Much like the Faces of 2024, there are always entertainers of note to be on the look-out for in the new year or those who made great waves throughout the current year who will, undoubtedly, be big stars in the new year.
The new faces of 2025 appear below in no particular order:
Elliott Heffernan – After a nationwide open casting call and dealing with the audition process, this 11-year-old British boy made his professional on screen debut in the box office World War II-themed movie Blitz from director Steve McQueen. He played the young son, George, of Rita who was portrayed by Saoirse Ronan.
Phylicia Pearl Mpasi – Phylicia is a Maryland-born actress, who turned heads as young Celie in last year’s new version of The Color Purple, a performance which earned her an Outstanding Breakthrough Performance nomination at the 24th Annual Black Reel Awards. Not bad for her first big role, huh? Previously she worked as a staff writer for the short-lived Paramount+ series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.
Nikki Rodriguez – The 20-something actress from Minneapolis moved to LA straight out of school, first playing the tough teen girlfriend of a South Central gang member in the Gen Z comedy On My Block and then landing the plum role of Jackie Howard, the smart New York teenager, who ends up living in Colorado with her late mother’s best friend and her large family in the Netflix young-adult drama My Life With the Walter Boys.
Matilda De Angelis – The Italian actress and singer recently starred in the box office movie Across the River and Into the Woods (yes, that’s the full title of the movie and the Ernest Hemingway book on which it is based) alongside Liev Schreiber and Josh Hutcherson before landing the lead role in the spin-off series Citadel: Diana where she played an undercover agent for the global spy agency Citadel.
Anna Sawai – The Best Actress Emmy winner for the revised version of Shogun, had one of her big breaks in the 2021 franchise film F9: The Fast Saga, but it’s been her work in the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series Pachinko as well as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters that got her attention in addition to her award-winning performance in the aforementioned Shogun.
Mia McKenna-Bruce – She appeared in the young adult dramas Get Even and Vampire Academy as well as the Dakota Johnson-led movie Persuasion before winning the EE Rising Star Award at the BAFTAs, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, which is the British equivalent to the Oscars and Emmys and is the only award voted on by the British public, for her role in the acclaimed indie film How to Have Sex.
Kali Reis – The former world champion professional boxer of Native American descent co-starred alongside recent Emmy winner Jodie Foster in the fourth season of True Detective: Night Country where Kali was nominated herself as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Not too bad for her small screen acting debut, right?
Ambika Mod – Her first big break was in the AMC+ original series This Is Going to Hurt, playing Shruti Acharya, a young Labour Ward trainee alongside actor Ben Whishaw before appearing in the small screen adaptation of One Day based on the David Nicholls 2009 novel and its 2011 film adaptation, which starred Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. It was this lead role that really broke hearts.
Hoa Xuande – While this newcomer has actually been acting since 2010, it wasn’t until he appeared in the short-lived John Cho series Cowboy Bebop and then the HBO period piece espionage series The Sympathizer, where he starred opposite Robert Downey Jr., that caught viewers’ attention.
Drew Starkey – Drew has appeared in the TV shows Mercy Street, Shots Fired and Ozark as well as the box office movie Love, Simon and the streaming flick The Other Zoey, but it’s been his recurring role in the Netflix series Outer Banks and his starring role in this fall’s box office movie Queer, starring 007 actor Daniel Craig himself, that has been turning heads.
Are there any actors or actresses who you think are the faces to watch in 2025? Please share.
The following list highlights the actors and actresses on TV and on the big screen who really caught viewers’ attention throughout this year.
They appear in no particular order:
Danielle Brooks – In the past couple of years, Danielle has portrayed Mahalia Jackson in a Lifetime made-for-TV movie, appeared alongside John Cena in the MAX original series Peacemaker and revisited her Tony-winning role of Sofia in the box office movie The Color Purple that came out at the very end of 2023, which garnered her countless nominations for awards in the earlier part of 2024. Next up she will be seen in action-comedy film A Minecraft Movie, starring alongside Jason Momoa, Jack Black and Wednesday’s Emma Myers.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph – Da’Vine received praise for her roles in the 2019 box office movie Dolemite Is My Name and the 2020 movie The United States vs. Billie Holiday. In the last year, she has appeared in the controversial TV series The Idol, the much buzzed about box office movie Rustin, appearing as Mahalia Jackson I might add, and reprised her role of Donna Williams in season four of Only Murders in the Building. But it was her performance as Mary Lamb in the independent film The Holdovers, which came out in October 2023, that garnered her critical acclaim and eventually an Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress.
Charles Melton – Charles is more than just a “pretty face,” and his role in the 2023 box office movie May December put him on the map. The movie was loosely reminiscent of the scandalous affair between schoolteacher Mary Kay Letourneau and her barely-a-teenager-lover Vili Fualaau with Julianne Moore playing the older woman in the movie and Melton as her much younger lover-nee-husband. Movie goers will recognize him from 2019’s The Sun Is Also a Star and Bad Boys for Life in 2020. He also appeared in the TV series Riverdale for nearly all of its seven-season run on The CW.
Cailee Spaeny – Cailee appeared in the box office movies Bad Times at the El Royale and On the Basis of Sex both in 2018 followed by the reboot of The Craft: Legacy in 2020. She then starred in the TV shows Mare of Easttown in 2021 and The First Lady in 2022; but it was her role of Priscilla Presley in the 2023 box office movie Priscilla that got her rave reviews. She has since appeared in this year’s movies Civil War and Alien: Romulus.
Camila Morrone – Camila started out in 2016 as a model for Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Chanel and Calving Klein (among others). She later appeared in the 2020 box office movie Valley Girl, but it was her role as Camila Alvarez-Dunne in the Prime Video limited series Daisy Jones & the Six from 2023 that garnered her a lot of attention and even earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination. She also appeared in the indie film Marmalade alongside Cross and Leverage star Aldis Hodge and Stranger Things alum Joe Keery.
Glenn Powell – His first big TV appearance was in 2015 in Scream Queens on FOX and the 2016 box office movie Hidden Figures, but it was the 2022 box office sequel Top Gun: Maverick that put him on the map. He followed that up with an appearance in the box office movie Devotion and then the Netflix movie Hit Man. He then appeared in the highest-grossing R-rated rom com Anyone But You and then this past summer’s sequel film Twisters.
Lewis Pullman – He also appeared in Top Gun: Maverick two years ago and had a role in the Josh Brolin-led TV series Outer Range before starring alongside Captain Marvel star Brie Larson in the Apple TV+ period piece Lessons in Chemistry. This fall he appeared in the horror remake of Salem’s Lot that aired on Max and next year he will star in the ensemble anti-superhero movie Thunderbolts.
Ella Hunt – The singer and musician segwayed into acting with her big break coming through the comedy-drama Dickinson that starred Hailee Steinfeld and then she appeared in the box office movie Lady Chatterley’s Lover. This year was big for her as she appeared in Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 as well as playing legendary comedienne Gilda Radner in the box office movie Saturday Night.
Anthony Boyle – He appeared in two episodes of the Northern Ireland teen comedy Derry Girls as well as the Benedict Cumberbatch-led mini-series Patrick Melrose. He also had roles in the box office movies Tolkien and Tetris. But it’s been his roles in Masters of the Air and Manhunt, which aired nearly simultaneously earlier this year as well as the more recently aired Say Nothing that have put him on the map.
Aaron Pierre – This London-born actor appeared in roles in the TV shows The A Word, Britannia, Krypton and The Underground Railroad before landing a role in the M. Night Shyamalan thriller flick Old. He then landed the role of Malcolm X in the anthology series Genius and followed that up with the lead role in the Netflix movie Rebel Ridge, starring alongside Don Johnson. He will next be seen in the box office movie Lanterns with Kyle Chandler and he provides the voice of Mufasa in the soon to arrive Mufasa: The Lion King box office movie.
Who are some of the faces from this year who caught your attention either on television, in music or in film? Please share.
