Kaya Scodelario is back in the spotlight.
The English-Brazilian actress recently took on the starring role in the Netflix ice skater drama Spinning Out. Because the positive reviews are rolling in, we thought it was time to look at Scodelario's best roles to date. To do this, we’ll be turning to the scores on IMDb.
The popular movie and TV show website has assigned every one of Scodelario’s feature films, TV series, and mini-series a star rating. This is what we’ll be using to stack up her best.
With the logistics out of the way, it’s time watch look back on all the times Kaya Scodelario stole the show; Here are her best movies and TV shows, according to IMDb.
10 The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (6.3)
Scodelario took on a leading role in the film adaption of The Maze Runner, a dystopian young adult book series by author James Dashner. Though the film’s 2015 sequel changed more than one element from the book, it was entertaining nonetheless.
The Scorch Trials has Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow Gladers arriving at the base of a powerful organization known as WCKD. After uncovering a few secrets, they set out to escape. The problem? To do so, they must walk through the heat and chaos of a dessert-like expanse known as The Scorch.
Scodelario plays Teresa, a teenage Glader who has a complicated past with both Thomas and WCKD.
9 Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (6.6)
The fifth swashbuckling installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series had Scodelario taking the lead.
This time around, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) must fight off the pirate ghosts of Captain Salzar (Javier Bardem) after they get loose. In order to win, he must track down the Trident of Poseidon. To do so, he enlists the help of a headstrong astronomer named Carina and the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, Henry (Brenton Thwaites).
Carina, both smart and skillful, is portrayed by Scodelario.
8 Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile (6.6)
Last January, Scodelario found herself playing a love interest of serial killer Ted Bundy in this biographic crime thriller starring Zac Efron.
The 2019 Netflix film kicks off in 1969 Seattle, where Ted Bundy, as a law student, falls for Liz Kendall (Lily Collins). Though the two begin a relationship, he eventually grows closer to Scodelario’s Carole.
The pair later weds.
7 The Maze Runner (6.8)
The original 2014 Maze Runner movie tells of a sixteen-year-old boy named Thomas who wakes up inside a camp full of boys with no memories of his past. He soon learns that their base is surrounded by a maze, and they have no way of getting out.
One day, a girl — Teresa — arrives at the “Glade,” as it is called. Though her mind has also been wiped, she thinks she knows Thomas.
Of course, Scodelario wouldn't have later portrayed Teresa if she hadn’t played her from the start.
6 True Love (6.9)
Scodelario took on a minor role in the 2012 BBC miniseries, True Love. This five-episode drama follows the lives of five different individuals who live in an English seaside town. One of these episodes centers on a teacher named Holly (Billie Piper) who ends up developing feelings for one of her students, Karen, played by Scodelario.
It is later revealed that she is the daughter of Adrian (David Morrissey), a divorcé who begins an online relationship.
5 Southcliffe (7.0)
A year later, in 2013, Scodelario found herself in a supporting role in the British miniseries drama, Southcliffe. It follows a journalist (Rory Kinnear) who returns to his childhood town while the residents deal with the aftermath of multiple shootings.
Scodelario portrays a young woman named Anna, who was murdered while out for a morning run. Her parents try to cope with the death.
4 Now Is Good (7.1)
The Maze Runner wasn’t the only young adult book adaption that Scodelario showed up in. She also took on a role in the 2012 teen romantic drama, Now Is Good, based on the novel Before I Die by Jenny Downham.
The story tells of a girl with terminal acute lymphoblastic leukemia named Tessa who has a bucket list of things she wants to do before she dies. This doesn’t prove easy, however, as the normal conflicts of life get in the way.
While Dakota Fanning stars, Scodelario plays her best friend, Zoey, who eventually gets pregnant by mistake.
3 Moon (7.9)
Scodelario’s first feature film role came in 2009, when she portrayed Eve Bell in the sci-fi Sam Rockwell film, Moon.
The narrative tells of an astronaut who is excited to go back to his family after his three-year assignment at a lunar mine has ended. After his health goes downhill, however, this hope becomes fainter — especially when he encounters a younger version of himself.
Scodelario’s Eve is the daughter of astronaut Sam.
2 Spinning Out (7.9)
As aforementioned, Scodelario most recently starred in the Netflix sports drama Spinning Out. Its popularity is continuing to rise.
The opening 10-episode season tells of a competitive ice skater with bipolar disorder named Kat who considers hanging up her skates and moving to Europe with her boyfriend after a devastating fall. When pairs skater Justin (Evan Roderick) seeks out a new partner, however, she can’t help but consider giving her dreams a second chance.
1 Skins (8.2)
Topping off the list as Scodelario’s highest-ranking series to date is Skins.
This British comedy-drama focuses on a group of teenagers dealing with everything from Autism spectrum disorder to bullying to mental illnesses as they work through school in Bristol.
Scodelario plays bad girl Effy Stonem, who is the younger sister of Tony (Nicholas Hoult). Though Effy frequently tries to define her own life, Tony cares deeply about Effy and wishes the best for her. She eventually moves from a side character to a central part of the series.
