Samara Weaving’s Gritty Action Sleeper Hit Officially Finds a New Home on Streaming
Samara Weaving’s action-horror film Ready or Not (2019) has found a new streaming home on Netflix, according to Polygon. The move spotlights the Australian actress’s standout performance in the film, which blends horror and comedy in a gripping survival narrative. The article uses the film as evidence of Weaving’s suitability for potential future high-profile roles, specifically citing her casting consideration as Emma Frost in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men reboot. Weaving has built a reputation as a talented performer in thriller and horror genres, with previous credits including Mayhem (2017), The Babysitter (2017), Scream VI (2023), and Over Your Dead Body (2026). The 2019 Ready or Not original and its recent sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, demonstrate her versatility in balancing intense action sequences with comedic moments—a combination that the article argues makes her an ideal candidate for the MCU’s calculating and complex White Queen character.
