Just hours earlier, the actress made an appearance on the Today show where she talked to host Craig Melvin about her forthcoming projects.
The interview kicked off with Melvin observing that the star has appeared 'trapped' when it comes to some of her roles both in film and television.
'In The Queen's Gambit you're trapped in chess, you're trapped in the kingdom here in Mario, [and] you're trapped sort of in Survival,' the TV personality said.
Following a small laugh, Taylor-Joy simply replied with, 'So, I have a history of being trapped?'
He then questioned her if it was only a 'coincidence' or rather 'a theme that you seek out?'
The Queen's Gambit star answered, 'It does feel like fate. I think now, with some hindsight, I do see a through-line between my own personal journey and what I've been allowed to depict on screen, but they always seem very different to me.'
Elsewhere in their conversation, Melvin brought up the speculation that the actress is rumored to play Joni Mitchell in an upcoming biopic.

He asked the star about a possible connection between Mitchell as well as her role of Princess Peach in the animated Super Mario movie.
'You're rumored to be playing Joni Mitchell, speaking of through-lines here, arguably one of the most singularly important women in music over the last generation or so,' the host expressed.
'Princess Peach, one of the most iconic women in gaming history. What is the connection there?'
At first, Taylor-Joy asked, 'What is the connection between Joni Mitchell and Princess Peach?'
She then answered, 'That they're both singular. You can't touch them. They're in a league of their own.'
Following the interview, some fans shared their thoughts on Reddit with one penning: 'I feel like Craig is usually prepared for interviews but this one felt off today. It was so awkward.'
Another typed, 'He's just not cut out for this. Seems like a decent person but he has no presence or charisma, and this doesn't come naturally to him.'
Others applauded how Taylor-Joy tackled the questions as one said, 'I mean, can you think of a better answer to that particular question?'
