People have been looking for Hollywood’s next big horror-star, and it looks like Anya Taylor-Joy has answered the calling. Taylor-Joy made a name for herself for her role of Thomasin in Robert Egger’s horror film The Witch, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2015. She starred in the science-fiction horror film Morgan in 2016 before playing one of Barack Obama’s close friends in Vikram Gandhi’s film Barry.

She went back to horror for M. Night Shyamalan’s Split and is expected to reprise her role in the sequel Glass. She is also going to play the lead role in Robert Egger’s remake of Nosferatu. In 2017, she was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award.
