Anya Taylor-Joy’s varied and compelling roles in TV series and films have left a lasting impression on the entertainment business. After winning praise for her role in the horror movie “The Witch” in 2015, the actress went on to star in M. Night Shyamalan’s “Split” and its follow-up, “Glass.” Notable performances in films like Emma Woodhouse in Emma and Gina Grey in Peaky Blinders are also included in her credits.
However, Taylor-Joy’s incredible portrayal of chess prodigy Beth Harmon in Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit” is what really made her famous throughout the world and brought her multiple awards, such as a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe. She keeps up her great career by appearing in a number of films, such as “The Northman,” “Last Night in Soho,” and “The Menu.” The actress, who continues to be in high demand in the entertainment industry due to her extraordinary talent, will be involved in some intriguing projects moving forward. This is a list of every movie that Anya Taylor-Joy has coming up!
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Taylor-Joy’s next role is in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” which is a prequel and spin-off of the 2015 movie “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The origin narrative of renegade warrior Furiosa is told in this post-apocalyptic film, where she is abducted from her home country of the “Green Place of Many Mothers” and ends herself in the crossfire of two despotic rulers. As the younger version of Charlize Theron’s character in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Taylor-Joy assumes the role of Furiosa. The actress co-stars with Chris Hemsworth, who plays Warlord Dementus in “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
Alongside Tom Burke from “The Souvenir,” Nathan Jones from “The Protector,” Angus Sampson from “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Daniel Webber from “Escape from Pretoria,” and Dementus from “Furiosa,” there are other notable actors in the film. George Miller, the director of the action-adventure movie, previously worked on all four “Mad Max” films. The movie is presently under post-production with a May 24, 2024, theatrical release scheduled.
Laughter in the Dark (TBA)
The thriller “Laughter in the Dark” is based on the same-titled novel by Vladimir Nabokov, published in 1932. It centres on a married, middle-aged art critic who is enamoured with a young, aspiring actress. Later on, the girl schemes to steal the man’s money by working against him. Scott Frank is the film’s writer and director. This is his second project with Taylor-Joy following their popular Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” on which he was a co-creator, writer, and director.
The young actress will probably be portrayed by Taylor-Joy, but the other members of the cast are still a mystery. Frank indicated that he will approach the project “as a film noir and a movie within a movie,” calling it a “nasty, wonderful, thriller.” Although the movie’s release was announced for 2020, there haven’t been any new developments in its production.
The Gorge (TBA)
Taylor-Joy costarring with Miles Teller from “Whiplash” and “Top Gun: Maverick” in the action movie “The Gorge.” A “genre-bending love story,” the romantic movie centres on two young people “who, despite the corrupt and deadly world they operate in, find a soulmate in each other.” In addition to Teller and Taylor-Joy, who play Drasa and Levi, respectively, Sigourney Weaver (from “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Alien”) makes an unidentified appearance in the movie. The identities of the remaining cast members are unknown.
Scott Derrickson, the director of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “Sinister,” and “Doctor Strange,” is directing this movie. The movie’s production reportedly started in March 2023. The movie will be available on Apple TV+. The precise release date is yet unknown, though.
