10 Greatest Female Actors in Their 20s

Every generation has several stars, sometimes hundreds, who shine brightly among their peers. At this moment, the 10 greatest female actors in their 20s are the women who are gaining the most attention for their skills and are, understandably, being looked at as the future of film.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Since her time in Split and other projects, Taylor-Joy has only continued to increase her skill and efficiency on screen. The Menu and even The New Mutants helped to further her versatility and impressive resume.

Zendaya

Many fans enjoy thinking of her as MJ in Spider-Man, and it’s comfortable. But everything she’s done since then has been masterful to provocative, and fans have loved every minute.

Florence Pugh

Her time as Paige in Fighting With My Family was fun and a great test of her skills. However, her role in Midsommar was disturbing but great, while her presence in the MCU has been a lot of fun.

Elle Fanning

It does feel as though Elle gets overlooked at times, perhaps since her sister Dakota came in first and was so well-liked. However, Elle has managed to carve out her reputation in the business and has shown that she has the skills to continue building her own fame.

Mackenzie Foy

Mackenzie has starred in several notable movies already in her career, so it’s interesting to think that she’s still not quite the big name that some ladies on this list are. But with so much time left to expand her reputation, it’s fair to think she’ll continue to impress the fans.

Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee has displayed a pleasing versatility in her acting, considering that her time in Edge of Seventeen, Bumblebee, and the Hawkeye series were quite different in content, not to mention their demands on her acting skills.

Jenna Ortega

She didn’t feel like the right person to star in a Scream movie, but she’s been rocking it. Not only that but her time as Wednesday Addams was also interesting.

Sophie Turner

It does feel as though Sophie isn’t going to escape her Game of Thrones days for a while, but that’s not necessarily bad. Being remembered as Sansa Stark is probably a little better than the oft-maligned role in the X-Men movies that took place a while back.

Peyton List

She was already famous before she came to the Cobra Kai series, but it does feel like her role as Tory elevated her just a little more. Maybe it was the aggressive attitude, but it feels like she’ll be one of the more influential characters by the time the story ends.

Millie Bobby Brown

She has been on fire since her appearance on Stranger Things, and Enola Holmes catapulted her even further. Damsel was middle of the road, but her career is still on a high note, or it feels that way, and she has much more to offer the fans.
