Cady Heron (Then: Lindsay Lohan / Now: Angourie Rice)
Lindsay Lohan cemented her teen royalty status in Hollywood by leading the original “Mean Girls” to $130 million at the worldwide box office. Now the role of the insecure-turned-mean Cady Heron falls on Angourie Rice, the Australian actress perhaps most recognizable for playing Betty Brant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She had brief supporting roles in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019), and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021). She also impressed as Kate Winslet’s daughter in the Emmy-winning HBO limited series “Mare of Easttown.” Her breakthrough came in 2016 when she starred opposite Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in the dark comedy “The Nice Guys,” which was followed by Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled.” Rice’s television work includes the Miley Cyrus-led “Black Mirror” episode “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too” and the Jennifer Garner-headlined Apple TV+ miniseries “The Last Thing He Told Me.” With “Mean Girls,” Rice has landed her first lead role in a theatrical motion picture. She previously headlined the Paramount+ original movie “Honor Society” opposite “Stranger Things” favorite Gaten Matarazzo.
