Since the beginning of her big-screen career, Anya Taylor-Joy has starred in eight horror movies, including her breakout role in Robert Eggers’ masterpiece The Witch. It seemed like Taylor-Joy was going to end up typecast in horror movies for her entire career, with her first three years in the business almost dominated by scary movies. However, she was able to break out thanks to lead roles in Jane Austen’s Emma and the Netflix historical drama The Queen’s Gambit.
