Anya Taylor-Joy recently appeared on Today to discuss her role as Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie sequel, alongside Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, and Jack Black. The actress reflected on the common theme of being "trapped" in her characters, such as Princess Peach and Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit. When asked about rumors of playing Joni Mitchell, Taylor-Joy highlighted the uniqueness and unattainability of both Mitchell and Princess Peach, describing them as being in a league of their own.

The conversation between Taylor-Joy and host Craig Melvin sparked interest online, with many viewers intrigued by the comparison between Joni Mitchell and Princess Peach.
