Daisy Edgar-Jones Joins Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney Among the Most Popular Young Actresses

“Twisters” has been out for a while, and while Glen Powell has garnered much of the attention, another cast member is now making waves and experiencing a major career boost thanks to the film.

Daisy Edgar-Jones, who plays Kate Carter—a meteorologist and former storm chaser—has seen her career take off unexpectedly but positively due to her role. Though few anticipated this part would have such a profound impact, it appears to be propelling Edgar-Jones’ career upward.

According to Variety, Edgar-Jones has now joined an exclusive group of young actresses in their twenties that major studios are eagerly investing in, marking her as a standout talent in the industry.

Daisy Edgar-Jones was born in London in 1998 and began her acting career with a recurring role in the 2016 TV series Cold Feet. She made her film debut in Pond Life in 2018, but it was her role in the 2019 series War of the Worlds that significantly boosted her career, leading to roles in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters. To highlight her growing appeal, here’s a quote from Universal’s Chief Marketing Officer Michael Moses, as reported by Variety:

“She just had an unerring sense of what it takes to connect with an audience without it ever feeling performative or inauthentic. There is a reluctance to do the heavy lifting that it takes to promote nowadays. So it was really refreshing to have someone like Daisy come in and not have to convince her. So many are like, ‘No, I’m a movie star. I don’t chug a beer. I think it really was a lot of the off-interview things that made all the difference.”

It seems Michael Moses isn’t the only one captivated by the young actress. According to Variety, Daisy Edgar-Jones is now in elite company with superstars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, forming a select group of 20-something actresses that major studios are betting on for the future. These actresses are expected to receive a growing number of script offers, spanning genres from romantic comedies to erotic thrillers.

Many believe her name alone will draw audiences to theaters, making her a prime candidate for future roles. Some even predict she could rise to stardom akin to former icons like Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock, a prospect we’re excited about too!
