Emma Stone
Stone has a number of cool projects lined up; though we're still waiting for production to begin, she's signed on to costar with Jonah Hill in Cary Fukunaga's Netflix series, Maniac. She and Steve Carell are also playing '70s tennis stars Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in Battle of the Sexes, due out this year. In 2018, she'll star with Rachel Weisz in a historical biography about Queen Anne called The Favourite, but her most exciting project has to be the Disney reboot Cruella. She's playing the infamous villain Cruella de Vil in the live-action movie, scheduled for a 2018 release!

Mahershala Ali
Though Ali has departed from House of Cards, we'll still get to see him in some other places. He's in an '80s-set drama called Roxanne Roxanne, which premiered at Sundance this year and will hopefully be in theaters soon. He's also playing two roles in Robert Rodriguez's anime adaptation Alita: Battle Angel, and as of February, he is in talks to join Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy in the border drama Triple Frontier.

Davis will return as Annalise Keating in the next season of How to Get Away With Murder, but she also has a couple of films in the works. She's developing a biopic about Harriet Tubman with HBO (she would star) and she'll be in Widows, Steve McQueen's upcoming crime drama.

Casey Affleck
Affleck has two movies coming up in 2018: The Old Man and the Gun, costarring Robert Redford, and Light of My Life, a drama that he wrote and will direct and star in.
He also has two projects without firm release dates: an HBO miniseries about Lewis and Clark — the network already had to start over on the series once — and a spooky drama called A Ghost Story, which premiered at Sundance.
