Silo to Dune: The Best Rebecca Ferguson Performances Ranked and Where To Watch Them

Published on

Rebecca Ferguson has been involved with some of the best TV series and film franchises in recent years. From Silo to The Greatest Showman, Ferguson has demonstrated the breadth of her range across a variety of genres. Read on to discover a full ranking of her best performances and where to stream them now.

Back in 1999, the Sweden-born actor made her debut in a Swedish soap opera, Nya tider, before she made her first feature film appearance in a slasher horror, Drowning Ghost.

It wasn’t until 2013 when Ferguson ascended into international prominence in the British drama, The White Queen. For her performance as Elizabeth Woodville, Ferguson was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries.

After her small-screen success, the actress went onto join the Mission: Impossible franchise alongside Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg as MI6 agent Isla Faust. Ferguson first appeared in the fifth installment, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, which excelled at the box-office to gross over $688 million.

She reprised her role in the action-packed sequels, Mission: Impossible - Fallout and the penultimate film in the series, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. As Faust, Ferguson played a pivotal role in the IMF’s and Ethan Hunt’s own future and even delivered some epic stunts too.

Alongside this, the actress shone as Jenny Lind in the award-winning movie musical, The Greatest Showman. The Oscar-nominated movie also went onto secure a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for “This Is Me.” Since its positive release in 2017 and strong box office of $435 million, the film has gained a cult following for its songs about hope, acceptance and empowerment.

Ferguson has also appeared in supporting roles in the award-winning adaptation of The Girl on the Train, space-based film Life and another cult supernatural horror, Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep.

Arguably, Ferguson’s best work appears in her leading roles in striking science-fiction projects. The actress plays the pivotal part of Lady Jessica in Dune and Dune: Part Two, who is the mother of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and concubine of Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac).

As one of the powerful sisters in the Bene Gesserit, Ferguson as Jessica delivers an emotional and nuanced performance, as the overprotective mother who influences the people of Arrakis to believe her son is their messiah from their prophecies.

Similarly, on the small screen, Ferguson starred in the titular role in Apple TV+ series Silo, which debuted on the platform last year. The ten-part dystopian series saw the actress star as Juliette Nichols, for which she received positive reviews for her commitment to the role, alongside the impressive production design of the entire series.

With so many incredible films and TV series to sift through, here’s the best Rebecca Ferguson performances ranked and where to watch them now.
