The most exciting actor that's come along in years.


I just pray that she's not swallowed up the Hollywood machinery or worse, the superhero/comic book movies: I don't want her to be chewed up and spit put like Scarlett Johansson or Elizabeth Olsen, who were so good and promising once,
but now their acting is so bland, presumably because they've spent (and spend) so much time in front of green screens!

Please, Anya Taylor-Joy, be smart about your career - make quality decisions, choose great projects, helmed by great filmmakers - and try to resist the temptation of the stupid money, the superhero/comic book money.
Don't be tied up to a franchise, where you're given nothing to do - it would break my heart to see you in one of those movies.

I'm not a movie snob, but the comic book/super hero movies contract their actors for so many movies - and they're given so little to do, because of the number of heroes they have to cram into each movie.

I want her to do cool, character-driven projects,
where she can flex her acting chops.

Man, she's so good in
The VVitch, Morgan, Barry, Split.

Can't wait to follow her (hopefully tremendous) career!

Agree, she is very intense and very charming, one of the best newcomers around (plus, no need to say it, she's incredibly beautiful!)

reply

yeah and I love how she does so much Horror.

reply

Definitely! Really looking forward to The New Mutants, but rumors have surfaced that the Film is being rescheduled for 2019.

reply

indeed it was moved to 2019 :(

I guess we’ll have to wait, really disappointed with some of the decisions that Disney is making right now.

reply

Easily one of the best newcomer of the decade.

I enjoyed her performances in n the Witch and Split.
She has an interesting look and a lot of potential.
Hopefully she continues to land good projects.

reply

Utterly gorgeous in The Miniaturist, a BBC Production which wasn't that good, but she made it watchable.

100%

And yet she is now involved in some x-men related crap. And this, as we all know, could go for decades. You pray that she's not swallowed up by the Hollywood machine? Good. Now I pray for the superhero movie madness to end by the year 2020!

Yeah, buy a new crystal ball.

reply

Agreed, she is fantastic.
