Emma Margaret Marie Tachard-Mackey is a French-British actress who has rapidly ascended from a breakout Netflix star to one of the most in-demand talents in Hollywood. After saying goodbye to Maeve Wiley and Sex Education in 2023, she successfully transitioned to film with critically acclaimed roles in Emily and Barbie. In 2026, she takes on a career-defining antagonist role. Mackey stars as Jadis (The White Witch) in Greta Gerwig's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew" (November 26, 2026). In this origin story, she plays the sorceress who destroys the world of Charn before eventually enslaving Narnia. The casting reunites her with director Greta Gerwig (who directed her in Barbie) and sees her starring opposite Daniel Craig. Early reports suggest her interpretation of Jadis focuses on the character's "terrifyingly cold" imperial ambition. This blockbuster turn follows a major 2025, where she starred in the title role of James L. Brooks' comedy-drama "Ella McCay", playing an idealistic politician juggling family and work. She also led the cast of the intense psychological drama "Hot Milk" (2025), based on the Deborah Levy novel, further cementing her reputation for playing complex, intelligent women.
