It’s a near impossible feat to capture the hearts and minds of moviegoers when you’re not a big-name star. But this fresh crop of film talent has managed to do just that. TheWrap has deemed the following performers worthy of the distinction — breakout movie stars of 2017.

Tiffany Haddish
Tiffany Haddish had been lauded for her comedic prowess in Universal’s « Girls Trip, » and even won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the New York Film Critics Circle for the role. Now she has four other projects lined up: « All Between Us, » « The Oath, » « Limited Partners » and « Night School. »

Bill Skarsgard
Who could forget Bill Skarsgard’s creepy Pennywise in the horror hit « It? » The actor haunted kids all over the world in September but also starred in « Atomic Blonde » this year. He will next star in « Castle Rock, » « Assassination Nation » and the « It » sequel.

Sofia Boutella
Yes, the actress also was front and center in 2015’s « Kingsman: The Secret Service, » but this year, she was all over the place. Her steamy sex scene with Charlize Theron in « Atomic Blonde » made headlines, and the 35-year-old also had the villainous lead in « The Mummy. »

Daniel Kaluuya
« Get Out » has received praise from critics and fans alike, and Daniel Kaluuya received a solid round of acclaim for his lead role in the sleeper hit. It makes perfect sense that he has been nominated for a Golden Globe this year.

Brooklynn Prince
This darling 7-year-old charmed audiences in Sean Baker’s « The Florida Project » this year, which is garnering awards season buzz. The role has gotten her several nominations, including a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor.

Dafne Keen
Dafne Keen’s performance as X23 in « Logan » was extremely memorable — and her audition tape itself was lauded as one of the most extraordinary audition tapes Patrick Stewart has ever seen.

Dacre Montgomery
It seems like everyone is swooning over Dacre Montgomery these days after he appeared in « Power Rangers » and, on the small screen, « Stranger Things » Season 2. The Australian hunk will next be the lead in the third season of the aforementioned Netflix series, as well as the film, « The True History of the Kelly Gang. »
Lucasfilm
Porgs
OK, so we’re not exactly sure who played the Porgs, but they were the best part of « Star Wars: The Last Jedi. » If fans have it their way, these little bird-like cuties will have their own standalone film before you know it.
