Anya Taylor-Joy Asked To Be The Lighthouse's Mermaid & Director Said No
The Northman star, Anya Taylor-Joy, is revealing that she had asked to be the mermaid in Robert Eggers' previous feature, The Lighthouse, but the director said no. The actress made her first film appearance in Eggers' directorial debut, The Witch, back in 2016 and has since gone on to become one of Hollywood's most sought after young stars. In the years since her performance as Thomasin in the critically acclaimed horror film, Taylor-Joy has landed leading roles in projects like Split, Thoroughbreds, Emma, Last Night in Soho, and the Netflix limited series The Queen's Gambit, for which she won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award. Now, in The Northman, set to be released on April 22, 2022, she finds herself teaming up with Eggers once again.
