Jessica Henwick

Jessica Henwick is an acclaimed British actress, screenwriter and director, recognised for her versatile roles in action and science fiction projects. She gained international recognition for playing Nymeria Sand in the hit series “Game of Thrones” and portraying Colleen Wing in the Marvel television series “Iron Fist” and “The Defenders”.

She continued her successful career on the big screen with roles in hits such as “The Matrix Resurrections”, where she played the rebellious Bugs, the mystery film “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”, and the saga “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. Henwick is known for her exceptional dedication to her craft, performing her own complex stunts and mastering martial arts for her roles.

The filmmaker also makes bold career choices. When forced to choose between auditioning for only one project at a time, she turned down a potential role in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” to focus on “The Matrix Resurrections”, driven by a desire to work with director Lana Wachowski. Furthermore, Henwick has successfully branched into independent cinema; her smartphone-directed short film “Bus Girl” earned a prestigious BAFTA nomination.
