Alicia Vikander: Everywhere This Year
There will be no escaping Alicia Vikander in 2015: there are no fewer than eight films scheduled for release this year in which the 26-year-old Swedish actress has substantial roles. The sudden demand for Vikander hasn’t come entirely out of the blue. Some critics said she outshone Keira Knightley in Joe Wright’s “Anna Karenina” in 2012, playing the naive 18-year-old Kitty; and she was heartbreaking as the 18th-century Queen Caroline Mathilde in Nikolaj Arcel’s historical drama “A Royal Affair” in the same year.
