Mbatha-Raw most recently starred in Concussion and Belle, and she teamed with Prince-Bythewood on Beyond The Lights.
Prince-Bythewood, Mbatha-Raw, and De Luca are represented by CAA; Prince-Bythewood is lawyered by Nina Shaw and Gordon M. Bobb at Del, Shaw, Moonves; Mbatha-Raw is managed by Authentic Talent and Literary and also repped by UK-based Curtis Brown Group.
