My Take
Pom Klementieff is one of those actors who snuck up on the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe crowd and ended up being genuinely beloved — which is no small feat in a franchise stuffed with talent. Her Mantis is disarmingly sweet without ever tipping into annoying, and the chemistry she built with Dave Bautista's Drax over the Guardians trilogy is some of the most charming comedic work in the entire series. Born in Quebec and raised partly in France, she brings this quietly distinctive quality to everything she does — you can't quite pin her down, and that's her superpower. Watching her graduate from Guardians into the Mission: Impossible world as Paris showed she has serious action-movie range beyond the wide-eyed empath routine. I'm genuinely curious where she goes from here, because she's clearly got more gears than Hollywood has used so far.
