The Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson (daughter of an English mother) gained international recognition when she was chosen by Tom Cruise for the role of Ilsa Faust, in Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation, in 2015. Cruise says he saw her in the series The White Queen, but she says she was cast for an audition first. In any case, her character was of great importance in Ethan Hunt’s life and will be back in the last films of the franchise.

With the success of Mission Impossible, Hollywood was ‘won’. Rebecca has been in different movies like Florence Foster Jenkins, The Girl on the Train, and The Greatest Showman, to name just a few of the successes. But it’s arguably now in 2023 that she seems to be everywhere, starring in Apple TV Plus’ smash hit Silo and of course in Mission: Impossible – Reckoning, as well as in the second part of Dune. All successes are guaranteed.

Beautiful, talented, and versatile, Rebecca is certainly a star. The actress began her professional career at the age of 16, still in her native country, where she starred in a series on Swedish TV. Bilingual, she soon found her way to the British market when she was chosen for the lead role in The White Queen, Queen Elizabeth of Woodville.

Mother of two children, in her personal life Rebecca is reserved and remains open to new projects. Silo‘s unexpected success has contributed to the actress’ current stardom, with Sheriff Juliette Nichols leading the intricate plot that is taking the world by storm. But it will be her return as Ilsa, in Mission Impossible, which marks the cycle that started nine years ago. In the new films, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team return to track a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity and needs to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands but when the lives of the agent’s dearest people are put in jeopardy. risk, he will have to make a choice. Including Ilsa’s life, of course.

It will be hard not to call 2023 the year of Rebecca Ferguson.
