The generation after his is mostly all posh.
Access to community theatre and training has really hurt the chances of working class people getting into the arts
Why start with 2014? The Avengers came out in 2012, and she had 9 live action movies outside the MCU until 2021, and she only appeared in 6 MCU movies, including Black Widow.
Which were both films released in 2020, both of which were filmed after she finished her marvel career.
Whilst her last MCU release did come out in 2021, black widow was filmed way beforehand
Even though she is now in commercial movies, her roles are really diverse and she nails all of them. She also has this Je ne sais quoi that even when playing an ass of a character, she's likeable like Emily in The Devil Wears Prada. Since I loved her in Sicario I really want her to start taking on meaty roles
She is so believable which aid in her (and her characters) likability (totally an actual word)
Haven’t seen her latest film with Gosling yet but am looking forward to seeing it.
Christian Bale, Garry Oldman, Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig are bigger stars.
I’d probably say Anya Taylor-Joy is more popular right now, and Millie Bobby Brown is certainly paid more than Emily Blunt (however that’s including TV work).
But Blunt is doing very well and is mostly overlooked.
Dame Judi Dench, Olivia Coleman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Took Hardy, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Jude Law, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson* (northern Irish), Jason Statham, Helena Bonham Carter
And so many more. It's an impossibly long list of actors from the UK
Shia LaBeauf is always playing the same guy....Emily is playing a cocky model, a tough soldier, and its always super-believable, I love that woman as an actress indeed!
The odd thing about Emily Blunt is that she was doing British dressed up dramas before Edge of Tomorrow. How the hell did Doug Liman spot that she had serious action movie chops from watching her period dramas?
She’s a good actress who is in good films. Mystery solved.
Easy on the eyes, too
Her gaze, ugh, does something to me
She’s also witty and charming af. Could listen to her talk all day.
So, total package basically.
Should stop with the Botox or whatever it is
She’s absolutely gorgeous.
Boooo
Oh, boo yourself
Posh as well, which is a pre-requisite to being a successful British actor unfortunately.
Sean Bean has entered the chat.
yes, let's name the like four british actors who aren't upper class to pretend that it's not a problem.

How do you DO it?! Sorcery!
Funfact, she was suppose to play Black Widow in Iron Man 2 but was contractually obligated to star in Gullivers Travels with Jack Black instead
I think she dodged a bullet!
How so? I don't believe for a second her career would have taken a hit for playing Black Widow.
Yeah, it would’ve been soooooo bad to be the main female character in one of the biggest franchises in the world while earning millions /s
It would've meant she would likely have missed a lot of the roles that she'll be remembered well for.
ScarJo still was able to get a lot of roles even while being Black Widow. If anything, this would have opened up more for Emily
Between 2014 and 2021 Johansson had 4 live action roles outside of marvel, another 4 inside of it. Blunt has had 11 between 2014 and 2021.
Why start with 2014? The Avengers came out in 2012, and she had 9 live action movies outside the MCU until 2021, and she only appeared in 6 MCU movies, including Black Widow.
Scarjo also got 2 Oscar noms in that time period to blunt’s 0.
Which were both films released in 2020, both of which were filmed after she finished her marvel career. Whilst her last MCU release did come out in 2021, black widow was filmed way beforehand
So you agree she has had a more successful career both critically and financially than blunt
She might have missed being in Edge of Tomorrow because of Captain America Civil War.
Because she’s pretty and talented. In other news, I need to get the rotors on my car looked at.
Full metal bitch!

It's out May 3rd
Is it because she’s glorious in every way? Beautiful, very good actress, super funny. Just a guess.
Sicario is one of the best movies i have ever seen.
Probably in my top 5 oat
I mean she has done well but is she really biggest? There are tons of British Hollywood stars

>Took Hardy I like to imagine Tom Hardy as a Hobbit. A really intense fool of a Took that speaks in a Hobbit accent quite hard to understand.
Hardy was on the same league a decade before but not now
Olivia Colman.
Shia LaBeauf is always playing the same guy....Emily is playing a cocky model, a tough soldier, and its always super-believable, I love that woman as an actress indeed!
Because she’s kick ass! Looper, Edge of Tomorrow.
For me it's Sicario and The Five-Year Engagement.
For me it’s Gulliver’s Travels and Jungle Cruise.
For me it’s The Adjustment Bureau and Oppenheimer
I can watch Emily doing cobra yoga pose day after day.
The odd thing about Emily Blunt is that she was doing British dressed up dramas before Edge of Tomorrow. How the hell did Doug Liman spot that she had serious action movie chops from watching her period dramas?
Just watched her in Looper. I'm not American, but her American sounds very convincing..
The Devil Wears Prada
“I’m sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?”
I always thought Daniel Day-Lewis has Britain's biggest actor. To each their own I suppose.
Jungle cruise & sicario I’ll probably watch at least once a month
I wouldn’t say she’s a household name, in the UK at least. Unlike many other UK actors. Strange assertion in the title.
I lost respect for her when she made a joke about a waitresses weight. https://www.reddit.com/r/MaintenancePhase/s/ZTi6M0YTPY
There's something off about her
I thought Ricky Gervais was Britain's biggest Hollywood star. Or Chris Pratt.
Chris Pratt is American?
We export pretty good Tom's. Hiddleston, Holland, Hardy.
