Emmy Award nominee Nathalie Emmanuel marked her breakthrough moment in the form of Missandei, the intelligent and trusted advisor to Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s global phenomenon, GAME OF THRONES (2013-2019). This beloved role showcased her acting prowess over six seasons and earned her six Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. In 2015, she joined the FAST & FURIOUS franchise, starring in FURIOUS 7 and reprising her role in subsequent films like THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS (2017), F9 (2021) and FAST X (2023), which collectively have grossed over $4 billion at the Global Box Office. In the last 5 years, Emmanuel has continued to charm audiences in projects such as Hulu series FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL (2019), Netflix’s romantic comedy heist ARMY OF THIEVES (2021), and Lionsgate's ARTHUR THE KING (2024), as well as earning two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for her standout performances in DIE HART (2020) and DIE HART 2: DIE HARTER (2024). Cementing herself as a leading actress to watch, Emmanuel marked her first time in a feature leading role in Screen Gems’ horror film THE INVITATION (2022). She has since gone on to lead the reimagining of John Woo’s THE KILLER (2024) as well as Francis Ford Coppola’s MEGALOPOLIS (2024), which marked its world premiere out of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival and its North American premiere at Toronto International Film Festival.
