Amber Midthunder

I'll be honest — I didn't know Amber Midthunder's name before Prey dropped in 2022, and that embarrasses me a little, because she's clearly been quietly building something real since her teens. Watching her as Naru, a young Comanche woman going toe-to-toe with a Predator using nothing but her wits and a tomahawk, I was completely riveted — it's one of those rare action performances where the physical intensity and the emotional stakes feel totally inseparable. She was already a series regular on Legion and Roswell, New Mexico, so the range was there, but Prey proved she could carry a whole film on her own. Born in Santa Fe in 1997 with Lakota heritage, she brings an authenticity to Indigenous roles that Hollywood has historically fumbled badly, and the fact that she's also stepping into directing tells me her ambitions go way beyond just performing. She's one to watch — genuinely.
