Anya Taylor-Joy – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · December 15, 2025

The Queen’s Gambit turned chess into a global phenomenon largely on her performance, and Furiosa proved she could anchor a massive action franchise. The Witch, Split and Glass trace a horror-thriller arc, Thoroughbreds is a coldly funny teen thriller, and Last Night in Soho has her anchoring a dual-timeline horror. The Menu, Emma. and Peaky Blinders round out the list.
