Meet Anya Taylor-Joy, the actress who became the strong-willed character of every dark movie

She played the witch, the brat, the AI, and now she is set to star as a mafia lord's lover, but Anya Taylor-Joy continues to be the dark-hearted sweetheart of Tinsletown
PUBLISHED DEC 26, 2018

BAFTA-recognized rising star Anya Taylor-Joy has quite a lot in her bag for the upcoming year, and she is already making headlines for her much-anticipated roles in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming movie 'Glass', which is set to release on January 18, and BBC One's Steven Knight-created show 'Peaky Blinders'. What seems to be common in both the series regarding Taylor's role, is that the actress will once again put on her blunt expressionless face in order to portray characters who chiefly exist on the darker side of character ethos. The American-born Argentine-British actress seems to have already made a name for herself as the actress who resides in the dark corners of the script.
