Anya Taylor-Joy's working relationship with Netflix has proved fruitful for both parties, but the actress's presence on the streamer is about to get even bigger. Her most recent arrival, Sacrifice, is already making waves on Netflix despite its limited release. The action-thriller adventure, co-starring Chris Evans and directed by Romain Gavras, follows a celebrity who is abducted by a deranged cult for a human sacrifice. Amid that success, Netflix fans are set to welcome another of her successful titles earlier than expected.
Taylor-Joy's only major release of the year so far has been a blockbuster animated sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film saw the in-demand actress reprise her voice role as Princess Peach when it arrived in theaters in March. After just three months on the big screen, it became the first movie of the year to cross the $1 billion mark at the global box office. While it ultimately fell short of its predecessor's $1.3 billion haul, the sequel was still a major success, becoming the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time.
Following its theatrical run, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie first streamed on Peacock, where it became a streaming hit. However, the blockbuster is now preparing to leave the platform for Netflix. Distributed by Universal Pictures, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is moving to Netflix as part of the studio's existing streaming deal with the platform. Under the arrangement, Universal's animated films typically arrive on Netflix after an initial window on Peacock. Having landed on Peacock in July, the blockbuster is now nearing the end of its four-month run on the streamer, with its departure scheduled for November 29, 2026. Netflix has officially confirmed that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be available to stream exclusively on the platform beginning November 30, 2026, and will remain there through November 30, 2027.
What's Anya Taylor-Joy Doing Next?
Anya Taylor-Joy is certainly keeping busy, with major projects on the horizon that could further cement her status as a blockbuster star. When Dune: Part Three arrives in theaters this December, she could join the elite group of actors who have appeared in two billion-dollar-grossing movies released in the same year. Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal are currently the only actors in this elite group for the year, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
Given the box-office potential of Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated Dune threequel, Taylor-Joy could be the next inductee. And she may not be done there. The actress is also attached to The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, currently scheduled for release on December 17, 2027. Should that fantasy epic reach the billion-dollar mark as well, Taylor-Joy could find herself associated with three major box-office hits in just two years — an impressive milestone that would take her blockbuster profile to unprecedented heights.
You can stream Super Mario Galaxy Movie on Netflix starting November 30th, 2026.
