Collider
Anya Taylor-Joy has only appeared in one film this year, but that film became the highest-grossing production of 2026. In the movie titled "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," Taylor-Joy brings to life the character of Princess Peach, sharing the lead role with Chris Pratt. The film stands out as the first production to reach $1 billion at the box office in 2026. Taylor-Joy will return to Arrakis at the end of the year with "Dune: Part Three," where she will take on a larger role as Alia Atreides. However, fans will be able to watch a new project without waiting for "Dune 3" to hit theaters on December 18.
One of Anya Taylor-Joy's biggest projects in recent years, "The Gorge," is gaining attention as a sci-fi thriller from Apple TV. Premiering globally on Valentine's Day 2025, the film has managed to become one of Apple TV's most popular productions. Following her success in "The Gorge," Taylor-Joy is returning with a new crime thriller series titled "Lucky," in which she will star alongside Timothy Olyphant on Apple TV. "Lucky" will begin airing on July 15 and will consist of only seven episodes in its first season. Since Apple TV will release the first two episodes simultaneously, the series will conclude its season on August 19.
The cast of the series includes five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening, Clifton Collins Jr., and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Details about "Lucky" are eagerly awaited, and it is believed that the series will be a significant step in Taylor-Joy's career. Fans are eagerly anticipating this new project and will continue to follow updates on Apple TV.
