The IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) website is a treasure trove of news and info about all things to do with the silver screen, whether we’re talking about cinema, TV or streaming, so its list of the biggest stars each year is something to look forward to.
The list is compiled from IMDB StarMeter posts, but this year is sponsored by Disney+, so you might find a preponderance of faces from the streaming service featured. But whichever way you cut it, these are some of the hottest young actors and actresses in the entertainment industry at the moment, so it will pay to keep an eye on them.
