From Crimson Peak to Zero Dark Thirty, Check Out Jessica Chastain's Best Roles

Actress stars in the Gothic thriller in theaters today

Jessica Chastain has done it again. 

With critics calling the redheaded beauty's "icy-cold, unblinking" appearance a "highlight" in Guillermo Del Toro's Gothic horror flick Crimson Peak, it's no secret that the 38-year-old's mark on Hollywood is indelible.

Chastain has garnered widespread recognition for her roles on the big screen. Her breakout performance in 2011's The Tree of Life paved the way for her role as a CIA intelligence analyst in Zero Dark Thirty, which earned Chastain an Oscar nod and Golden Globe for Best Actress in 2012. 

Since then, Chastain has taken on the perils of galaxies far beyond our immediate reach in Interstellar and The Martian, and starred alongside fellow A-listers like Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Viola Davis and Brad Pitt to name a few.
