Before ‘Mickey 17,’ Naomi Ackie Made Her Impressive Debut Alongside Florence Pugh in This Absolutely Vicious Period Drama
Naomi Ackie of Mickey 17 gave a thunderous debut performance alongside Florence Pugh in the period drama Lady Macbeth.
Mickey 17might be struggling at the box office, but one of its stars, Naomi Ackie, is thriving. After shrugging off being wasted in the worst Star Wars movie, she's ascended in her career by taking on diverse film genres, like the secretive thrills of Blink Twice or the biopic bombast of I Wanna Dance With Somebody. She continuously fills her roles with verve and intrigue, somebody who draws inherent interest in her movement without the need to speak. It's something she's done since her debut film, where she held her own against Florence Pugh inLady Macbeth, a cold-blooded thriller masquerading as a prestigious chamber drama.
