11 Breakout Fall Movie Stars: From ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ to ‘The Walk’

A new crop of fall movies is coming our way, and with that, new up-and-comers are hitting the big screen.

Whether they are relatively new to the industry (like Daisy Ridley of “Star Wars – The Force Awakens”) or they starred in TV shows prior to their big-screen break (like Dascha Polanco of “Orange Is the New Black”) or even are Tony-winning stage actors (hello, “Bridge of Spies” costar Mark Rylance), the list is full of future Oscar winners and A-listers.

Take a look at TheWrap’s chosen ones of who is going to make their big break this fall.
