Who do you think are the best up and coming actresses under 40?

Well, I have thought about this topic for a while. I have binge watched so many shows over the last few months. And I have some favorites. My tastes are specific and perculiar because I am into sci-fi and fantasy. But there are a couple that aren't in that genre. What do you think of my list?

1. Awkwafina

I first started seeing her in commercials. Then I watched Crazy Rich Asians. She was the main reason to see the film in my opinion. So I started watching "Nora from Queens". This woman is crazy.

2. Zendaya

Of course everyone knows Zendaya. But she is legit. From the new MCU Spiderman movies, which are the best of the lot. To Euphoria, she can act and she is drop dead gorgeous.

3. Chloe Grace-Moretz

This one I don't quite understand. I love pretty much everything Chloe has been in. From KickAss 1 and 2, to Neighbors 2, to the Equalizer. I don't know why she hasn't been given her own franchise yet. She can do action, romantic movies, or drama roles. But in KickAss, she was just a plain old superhero. Me and my friends were screaming by the end of this film.

4. Sophie Turner

Everyone here knows all about Sophie Turner. Game of Thrones, the only real reason to watch X-Men Apocalypse or Dark Phoenix. "Walk to me Charles!!" LOLx10!!!

5. Sonequa Martin-Greene

I had no idea who this person was until I started watching Star Trek Discovery. I found her performance so compelling, I had to go back and find other things she had done, like the Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time, etc.

6. Scarlett Johannson

Easily the most famous of the bunch. As you guys can see, I am not into the most popular actresses. But it is hard to ignore ScarJo. Her perfomances are just compelling. Sure she is Black Widow in the MCU, but her other performances from movies like Jo-Jo Rabbit, Lucy, and Her are all top notch. And she is only 35 years old. One of my favorite scenes from Jo-Jo Rabbit.

7. Tessa Thompson is another prolific actress. But I was not really aware of her until I watched her in Westworld. Then I had to find out about all the other films/series she was in. So I have been watching Dear White People, Annihilation, Creed 1/2 and Sorry to Bother You. This scene from Westworld left me speechless.

8. Diane Guerrero

It is no secret that the main reason to watch Doom Patrol is Diane Guerrero. There have been a lot of actors who have tried to do the multiple personality disorder role. Few of them have nailed it so perfectly as Diane. The most interesting plots always involve her character(s). I backtracked and started watching other series she starred in like "Orange is the New Black".

9. Karen Fukuhara

I have to mention Karen Fukuhara because I am watching The Boys right now. And her character basically has no lines at all, but I love her character. So I decided to go back and watch her in Suicide Squad. I hope she they give her an action movie franchise. This woman is outstanding.

10. Zazie Beetz

Now Zazie, is on the list because I am in love with her. I had no idea where she came from or what she was doing before DeadPool 2. I just keep re-watching every scene she is in. So I combed the net for her older stuff. I found Atlanta, Wolves, I even watched that crap GeoStorm just because she was in it.
