Part of
What makes the
Guardians of the Galaxy films so great is **t only
the great soundtracks, but also the galactic superhero films' collection of hilarious, unique characters (
Baby Groot, we're looking at you). On top of
the usual suspects, the sequel features a few new faces. One of the most memorable is Mantis, played by Canadian actress Pom Klementieff. Some of the movie's best moments are between the socially awkward empath, who's introduced as a employee of Ego the Living Planet (Kurt Russell), and Dave Bautista's brutally honest Drax. Wondering where you've seen her before?
The 31-year-old actress is from Quebec, where she got her start on the silver screen in a few French-language projects
Like 2007's
Aprأ¨s lui and the 2009 mini******
Pigalle, la nuit. She continued appearing in French films and TV shows until 2013, when she scored the role of Haeng-Bok in the 2013 remake of
Old Boy (below).
Since then, her rأ©sumأ© has favored low-key films (like the 2015 thriller
******'s Game opposite
13 Reasons Why star
Ross Butler) and the recent indie comedy
Ingrid Goes West alongside Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen, which is due out this Summer. If you loved her in
Guardians (and how could you **t?!), there's luckily more
Mantis in all of our futures; she'll reprise her role when Star-Lord and company join up with the rest of the Marvel superheroes in 2018's
Avengers: Infinity War.
