Taylor-Joy is no stranger to playing gritty, dirty, and complex female characters. Previously the star of Robert Eggers’ films The Northman and The Witch, the actress has also starred in multiple films that have dominated box offices, including Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho, the highly-acclaimed Dune: Part Two (of which her appearance was kept secret!), and Mark Mylod’s The Menu, amongst an increasingly growing list. And of course, we can’t forget about the Emmy-winning The Queen’s Gambit.
