My Take

Abby Ryder Fortson is the rare child actor whose resume actually shows range, and that's what interests me. Most kids get one franchise lane; she had Cassie Lang in the Ant-Man films plus real dramatic work in Transparent, The Whispers and Togetherness. Then Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. handed her a true lead, and a daunting one given the book's status. Born 2008 in Burbank to two working actors, she basically grew up inside the industry, which can go either way. I'll be curious whether she navigates the teen-to-adult transition that derails so many, because the foundation looks unusually solid.
