Alicia Vikander will make a very good movie star.
It's a curious moment in the life of an actress when the media, evidently in collusion, decides to label her the 'Next Big Thing." The designation is, in Vikander's case, well-deserved; movie-goers are in the midst of a nine-month span in which no less than seven of her films arrive in theaters. Most recently, she played a robot named Ava in April's Ex Machina and Vera Brittain in the movie adaptation of Brittain's World War I memoir in this month's Testament of Youth. Next, Vikander will appear as a denizen of the swinging 60s in August's The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
"They're all kind of weirdly coming out at the same time," Vikander explained recently as we sat side-by-side on a patterned sofa at Manhattan's Crosby Street Hotel. "And [I've] been there, doing the work. Suddenly, from the outside perspective, even when I see it, it's a lot [of attention]. It's a lot of press, which is different from being on set, but it all just comes down to: I'm very happy the films are going to get an audience."
