Anya Taylor-Joy is stepping into the pink shoes of Princess Peach in the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but, as she tells Inside Total Film podcast, this isn't the classic damsel in distress that you remember.
"From the very first meeting that the creators and I had about her, I was really impressed and excited by the fact that we were all on the same page as to who Peach should be in this new era," Taylor-Joy tells us. "When I first saw the film, I came out so unbelievably excited and quite moved that this is now somebody that kids could have as a role model, and that this is what female leadership is. This is how we're presenting female leadership. I just felt so proud to be a part of that.
