Vanessa Kirby is making her MCU debut as Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but her upcoming Netflix film could be even more thrilling. She continues to make significant strides in her career and is becoming one of Hollywood’s most prominent stars. The actor made her film debut in 2010 and has moved upward to more high-profile projects.
Her star-making role as Princess Margaret in seasons 1 and 2 of The Crown earned her many accolades, including a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress. Following her debut in this series, she had significant parts in successful franchises, including Mission: Impossible and Fast & Furious. In 2021, she earned an Academy Award nomination for her lead role in Pieces of a Woman.
She is an excellent actor and action star, and her upcoming Marvel role is a culmination of everything she’s done in her career so far. After Fantastic Four, she will portray Invisible Woman again in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday. However, before she joins the Avengers, she’s starring in a new Netflix thriller, which just released its first dark and haunting trailer.
