Poulter first gained recognition in School of Comedy (2009) and then for his role as Eustace Scrubb in the adventure film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010). Worldwide recognition came from his starring role in the comedy film We're the Millers (2013), winning the BAFTA Rising Star Award the following year. Poulter starred in the first and third films of the dystopian science fiction trilogy The Maze Runner (2014–2018), the period film The Revenant (2015), the crime drama film Detroit (2017), the horror film Midsommar (2019), the romantic drama On Swift Horses (2024), and the war drama Warfare (2025).

He was a pupil at Harrodian School, whose well-known acting graduates include George MacKay and Robert Pattinson. He struggled in school due to dyslexia and developmental coordination disorder, but found that he loved drama, which "gave [him] a sense of purpose".
Poulter began studying drama at the University of Bristol in 2012, before leaving after a year when he got offered a part in The Maze Runner.[better source needed]
Poulter played the role of Lee Carter in the 2007 film Son of Rambow, alongside his co-star Bill Milner. He performed with other young comedic actors in School of Comedy, which aired its pilot on Channel 4's Comedy Lab on 21 August 2008, before being commissioned for a full series in 2009.
In 2010 he played the role of Eustace Scrubb in the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which was filmed in Queensland, Australia, and was accompanied by some members of his family. In 2010 he appeared in the BBC Three pilot The Fades, a 60-minute supernatural thriller written by Jack Thorne.
