Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has been on an impressive run.
The actor, who boasted few major credits to his name before last year's turn as villain Black Manta in Aquaman, is one of the most in-demand stars in Hollywood. This year, he appeared in the mega-hit Jordan Peele horror thriller Us, then showed up on TV as Cal the doting husband of Regina King's kickass masked police officer on HBO's Watchmen series. Fans also found out that he was cast as the lead in Peele's next film, Candyman, and in the long-gestating Matrix sequel, giving them more to look forward to from the increasingly busy actor. But there was already a huge role fans weren't expecting hiding in plain sight. Watchmen's sixth episode revealed that Cal is actually Dr. Manhattan, the most powerful being in the show's universe. He went from little used support to the show's focal point in a twist that no one expected.
