Annabelle Wallis
Annabelle Wallis (born September 5, 1984) is a highly accomplished English actress who has built a distinguished career by moving seamlessly between gritty period dramas, supernatural horror, and big-budget action spectacles. Raised in Portugal, Wallis is fluent in four languages, a skill that has served her well in an international career that began with a leading role in the Bollywood film Dil Jo Bhi Kahey... (2005). She rose to prominence on the small screen as Jane Seymour in Showtime’s The Tudors (2009) and delivered a defining performance as the complex undercover agent Grace Burgess in the hit BBC series Peaky Blinders (2013–2019). Her success in television paved the way for major film roles, including the lead in the horror hit Annabelle (2014), the female lead opposite Tom Cruise in The Mummy (2017), and a standout performance in James Wan’s surreal horror film Malignant (2021). In the upcoming 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy, Wallis plays a pivotal role as the wife of Detective Chris Raven (Chris Pratt). Her character is at the heart of the film's conflict, as Raven is accused of her murder and must face a high-stakes trial before an AI-driven court to prove his innocence. Beyond her acting, Wallis is a notable figure in the fashion world as a brand ambassador for Cartier and has been recognized for her ability to portray strong, "alpha" female roles that challenge traditional stereotypes. Her diverse filmography also includes roles in X-Men: First Class, the comedy Tag, and the historical drama The Loudest Voice, where her performance was praised as "heartbreakingly powerful."
