Hanna: Esme Creed-Miles shows why she is ready to hit the big time with upcoming Amazon show

Amazon's upcoming show 'Hanna' grabbed the interest of audiences with its sneak preview of the pilot episode, which was available for just a day on the streaming site after the Superbowl.

The show, which follows a teenager trained to be an assassin, stars Joel Kinnaman and Esme Creed-Miles in lead roles. Esme, who plays teen protagonist Hanna, is forced to live in isolation by her father, who also trains her to stay off the radar. She is also trained in hand-to-hand combat, American pop culture, different languages including Danish and French by her father.

The first episode certainly held the promise that it could possibly be a breakout role for the actor, who is the daughter of actors Charlie Creed-Miles and Samantha Morton.

A couple of trailers of the show released so far portray Esme sporting two different looks, and being involved in two completely different setups.

While initially Hanna tries to stay within the boundary created by her father Eric Heller, but as she rebels  against him she goes further away from the boundary. While Eric drills into Hanna's head that humans are unsafe, she discovers that she is attracted to men, which ultimately leads teh father daughter duo to leave their hiding.

The first trailer features Hanna in the forest, while in the second, we see her try to fit into the modern world for the first time. In the background, we hear agent Marissa announcing that the "escaped asset is extremely dangerous, trained to kill and engineered to survive at all costs."

Right after that, we see Hanna throw a few punches and kicks and injure a man who was about to capture her. What happened between the time she was found out by a rogue secret agent and her escape is something we would have to watch when the show airs in March. 

Esme was previously seen in 2017 movie 'Dark River',  in which she played the role of young Alice. She debuted at the age of 7, with the 2007 film 'Mister Lonely' alongside her mother and played the role of yesteryear child star Shirley Temple.
