Anya Taylor-Joy has only starred in one movie this year, but it wasted no time becoming the highest-grossing film of 2026. The movie in question is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where she reprised her role as Princess Peach opposite Chris Pratt as Mario — the film was the first of 2026 to reach the fabled $1 billion milestone. Taylor-Joy is also in line for a big year after the release of the Mario sequel. She’ll return to the sands of Arrakis at the end of the year for Dune: Part Three, where she’ll step into a much larger role as Alia Atreides in the sequel thanks to a significant time jump. However, fans don’t have to wait until Dune 3 drops on December 18 to watch another project starring ATJ.
One of Anya Taylor-Joy’s biggest projects from the last few years is The Gorge, the Apple TV sci-fi thriller co-starring Miles Teller from Top Gun: Maverick. The film debuted on Valentine’s Day in 2025 and, now well over a year removed from its global premiere, it’s still one of Apple TV’s most popular movies. Following her success with The Gorge, Taylor-Joy will officially return to Apple TV soon for a new crime thriller with Timothy Olyphant, Lucky, which begins streaming on July 15. The first season of Lucky consists of only seven episodes, and with Apple TV dropping the first two at once in just a few weeks, this means the show will run through August 19, the day of its Season 1 finale. Five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening also has a key role in Lucky, along with Clifton Collins Jr. and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
Does Anya Taylor-Joy Have Any Other Movies Coming Soon?
In addition to Dune: Part Three and Lucky, Anya Taylor-Joy has a few other exciting projects in the works. Not least of which is The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, which is coming to theaters at the end of 2027. Warner Bros. recently confirmed that Taylor-Joy had joined the cast of the film as an Elf named Seren, but details about her role are being kept under wraps. Taylor-Joy will also star opposite Chris Evans in a psychological thriller, Sacrifice, which debuted at TIFF last year. The film holds a poor 37% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Lucky, which begins streaming on Apple TV in just a few weeks.
