Fionnuala Halligan, curator of Stars of Tomorrow, said that she is hopeful the list will continue to emphasise young talent at the beginning of their careers.
"At a time when the push for full diversity in film and TV is becoming more and more urgent, Screen is proud to maintain its record of inclusion," she said.
"... Having brought David Oyelowo, Daniel Kaluuya, Sophie Okonedo, Noel Clarke, John Boyega, Letitia Wright, Michaela Coel, Dominic Buchanan, Cush Jumbo, and many others to industry attention at the start of their careers."
Also included on this year's prestigious list are BAFTA nominated Helen Behan from Meath, who has appeared in The Virtues and This is England, as well as Galway's Dónall Ó Héala, who starred in the iconic Aifric on TG4.
"In this unusual year, it felt more important than ever to shine this spotlight on emerging UK and Irish talent," said Screen International editor Matt Mueller.
This comes after Mescal was nominate for an Emmy for his role as Connell in Sally Rooney's adaptation.
He sadly lost out on the award to Mark Ruffalo (fair), but remained adamant that any recognition he gets for the show should be shared with co-star Edgar Jones.Explore more on these topics:
