Later this month, Anya Taylor-Joy is following in Charlize Theron’s footsteps as the lead character in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road is also Taylor-Joy’s first leading role in an action film. But according to the actress, it was also a difficult experience that she hasn’t entirely processed.
“I knew I was going to need the two years that it took for the movie to come out to deal with it,” Taylor-Joy told The New York Times. “I’ve never been more alone than making that movie… I don’t want to go too deep into it, but everything that I thought was going to be easy was hard.”
When asked to elaborate about her experiences on the set, Taylor-Joy declined to answer directly. “Talk to me in 20 years,” replied Taylor-Joy. “Talk to me in 20 years.”
