Anya Taylor-Joy Had “Never Been More Alone” When Filming ‘Furiosa’ | Entertainment

Anya Taylor-Joy revealed she’s never felt “more alone” than when filming ‘Furiosa, as everything she thought “was going to be easy was hard.” Speaking with the New York Times, Taylor-Joy explained how she spent months on George Miller’s ‘Furiosa’ set without delivering any lines. “I wanted to be put in a situation in extremis where I would have no choice but to grow. And I got it,” said the actress, reflecting on filming. “He had a very, very strict idea of what Furiosa’s war face looked like, and that only allowed me my eyes for a large portion of the movie. It was very much ‘mouth closed, no emotion, speak with your eyes’… you want to be in the hands of someone like George Miller,” shared Taylor-Joy. The ‘Queen’s Gambit’ star also shared that she’s “a really strong advocate of female rage,” which came to play in her character. She wanted to ensure “that I was never insolent in any way, that it was always a conversation.” Taylor-Joy told the outlet that she needed the two years between then and now to process the experience and added, “Talk to me in 20 years.”
