Ella Purnell plays Jackie

Charismatic and popular, Jackie is the team captain of the soccer team who tries to be a leader whenever things go south. She forces the team to make up after a huge argument at a party and advises everyone to conserve food after the plane crashes. She is particularly close with Shauna, who is her best friend — and maybe more.

Jackie is, notably, one of the only characters we’ve been introduced to that we haven’t seen the adult version of. Is it possible Jackie didn’t make it out of the woods at all?

Purnell has made appearances in quite a few large films, including Maleficent, where she played the teen version of Angelina Jolie and her titular role. Purnell also appeared in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children opposite Eva Greene and Asa Butterfield, Kick-Ass 2, and critically acclaimed indie drama Wildlike.
