Of all the young actors who pulled off star-making turns in The Force Awakens (John Boyega, the tiny mouse that controls BB-8, Greg Grunberg), it looks like Daisy Ridley is going to be the one who gets to claim the title of “New Chris Pratt.” In other words, her name is going to be attached to every single high-profile genre project in development, and rumors about her starring in things are going to pop up every few months.
