Ariana Greenblatt is one of the busiest young actresses in Hollywood. Only a few short years into her career, she was named as one of The Hollywood Reporter's 'Top Stars Under 18 To Watch' in 2019. Greenblatt's exceptional performances across an expansive slate have since garnered her a CinemaCon Rising Star of 2024 Award, IMDB's "Top Stars To Watch in 2023" and Variety's 2023 "Power of Young Hollywood" list and have seen her honored as part of ELLE Magazine's "Hollywood Rising" Class of 2023 and Teen Vogue's "Next Generation of Hollywood" covers in 2024.
This Summer Greenblatt will return to the big screen in Borderlands, Lionsgate's adaptation of the popular high-wattage video game of the same name. Greenblatt will star as 'Tiny Tina,' an unstable teenage explosives expert. Leading a motley group, which includes an all-star ensemble including Academy Award-winners Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis, they travel to a distant planet in search of riches and alien technology. The film will be released in theaters August 9, 2024.
Most recently, Greenblatt appeared in the record-breaking blockbuster, BARBIE, directed by Academy Award-winner Greta Gerwig. This first ever live-action Barbie film released in theaters worldwide on July 21, 2023, and made over $1.4B worldwide at the box office - marking Greenblatt as one of the youngest actors with two or more films grossing $1B+ (alongside her role as "Young Gamora" in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR). For her breakout performance in the film, Ariana earned a Critics Choice Award nomination in the category of "Best Young Actor/Actress" as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination in the category of "Best Cast in a Motion Picture."
She begins production this Summer in Budapest on the anticipated third installment of "Now You See Me" for Lionsgate. The new film returns audiences to the thieving illusionists known as the Four Horseman and introduces a new generation of magicians. Original cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Morgan Freeman are expected to reprise their roles with Greenblatt, Rosamund Pike, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa joining the cast. "Zombieland" and "Venom" director Ruben Fleischer will direct with "American Hustle" writer Eric Warren Singer, Seth Grahame-Smith and "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" co-writer Mike Lesslie penning the screenplay.
Last year, Greenblatt also starred in Sony Pictures' sci-fi thriller "65", a two-hander opposite Adam Driver. After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills (Driver) quickly discovers he's stranded on Earth---65 million years ago. With only one chance at rescue, Mills and the only other survivor, Koa (Greenblatt), must make their way across an unknown terrain riddled with dangerous prehistoric creatures. The film released theatrically in March 2023.
Greenblatt began her burgeoning professional career at 6-years-old, with early roles on Disney Channel's "Liv and Maddie" and Nickelodeon's "Duda Brothers." Soon after, she booked her breakout role as 'Daphne Diaz,' on the hit Disney Channel series "Stuck in the Middle," starring alongside Jenna Ortega in the series that lasted three seasons.
Greenblatt's other film and television credits include: LucasFilm's AHSOKA, Netflix's AWAKE, Paramount Pictures' post-apocalyptic thriller LOVE & MONSTERS, Warner Bros' IN THE HEIGHTS, Dreamworks' THE BOSS BABY: FAMILY BUSINESS, Disney+'s THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN, Marvel's AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, and STX's A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS.
Her advocacy focuses on teen homelessness & mental wellness as well as animal welfare initiatives.
