This trope is when an upcoming star is hugely hyped up only to falter, her career would need to go down for her to fit it


* HollywoodHypeMachine: After a string of very well-received stage performances, people were already calling her "the next Creator/KeiraKnightley" (ironically Keira did not do any theatre work until 2015). Her widely praised performance in the 2015 remake of ''{{Film/Cinderella|2015}}'' is a step in the right direction, so time will tell if she can live up to the hype. Appearing in the Oscar winning ''Film/DarkestHour2017'' and headlining ''Film/MammaMiaHereWeGoAgain'' is certainly promising.
