In the premiere trailer for the biographical drama Hidden Figures, a young girl named Katherine (Lidya Jewett) is listing off all the different types of triangles and completing complex algebra, a skill light years ahead of children her age, and one that leaves her teacher and her parents in awe. She's a mathematical prodigy who eventually becomes NASA legend Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), who, along with Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), would help John Glenn (Glen Powell) become the first American astronaut to complete an orbit around the Earth.
