Forget popcorn, Hollywood’s serving up a new leading lady! Ayo Edebiri’s comedic heat and heartfelt acting are a recipe for mega-stardom. The Bear’s breakout star is slaying every role, switching from laugh-out-loud funny to tear-jerking reality with the ease of a seasoned pro.
Edebiri’s talent’s a supernova, ready to challenge Zendaya’s reign. Keep an eye on Edebiri, y’all—she’s about to steal the spotlight, one scene-stealing performance at a time.
Ayo Edebiri joins Julia Roberts in After the Hunt
Remember that first-behind-the-scenes photo from Luca Guadagnino’s new film, After The Hunt? Well, the cast is locked and loaded, and it includes a rising star who might just give Zendaya a run for her money: Ayo Edebiri.
Edebiri joins the likes of Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield in this upcoming drama about a college professor (Roberts) whose life gets turned upside down, per Deadline. A star pupil throws a major accusation at a colleague, and Roberts’ character soon finds a dark secret from her own past bubbling up to the surface. Talk about pressure!
Fresh off the success of Challengers, director Guadagnino is clearly vibing with her! He even shot her a text, urging her to post the cast photo on social media. Check it out here:

But let’s not pretend Edebiri’s some flash in the pan. She’s gearing up for season 3 of The Bear, and she’s the voice you can’t miss in projects like Big Mouth and Inside Out 2. Seriously, she’s popping up everywhere!
And Guadagnino, the genius who gave us Call Me By Your Name, isn’t hitting the brakes either. After the Hunt is just a slice of his to-do list. He’s also got Separate Rooms with Josh O’Connor on deck (via Variety).
So, keep your eyes glued to Edebiri turning Hollywood upside down. With her star power, she’s on the fast track to becoming the next big thing. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see Zendaya handing over the crown!
Dune Fans Can’t Get Enough of Edebiri’s Impression of the Film’s Theme
Ayo Edebiri: queen of critically acclaimed projects, style icon, and self-proclaimed Irish comedian (jury’s still out). This year, with Dune: Part 2 and The Bear Season 3, she delivered the unexpected crossover nobody knew they needed.
Remember that time Edebiri voiced Envy in Inside Out 2? Yep, she’s got that kind of range. But let’s be real, comedy is where her heart truly beats. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, she dropped an absolute gem: a pitch-perfect, side-splitting impression of the Dune theme song.
The clueless crew from The Bear asked her to belt out her favorite karaoke tune. Instead, Edebiri channeled the desert vibes and Hans Zimmer magic, leaving everyone rolling on the floor. Ayo’s Dune rendition is the spice the internet’s been craving. Someone needs to put that on repeat!
