for comment.  It comes after Anya admitted she probably won't grasp the success of her critically acclaimed role in The Queen's Gambit 'for about five years'. Gracing the

cover of Vanity Fair's April issue, the star said she knew she had to give 'so much of herself' to the character of Beth after reading Walter Tevis' 1983 novel. During

the interview, Anya was tight-lipped on details surrounding her next Hollywood role, in an untitled film directed by David O. Russell. She said: 'We used to joke on set that we were

bringing sexy back to chess.  'We didn't really think that that's what people would actually think. I don't think you can be an even kind of sane person and be walking

around, like, I have reinvigorated the game of chess!'    Despite it being several months since the programme was released, Anya admitted she's still in disbelief about its

success. She said: 'I think I'll probably understand this year in about five years. I think that's when it will probably hit. 'The second I closed the book, it was this

dawning of, I'm going to have to give this character so much of myself in order to tell the story right.' Anya is currently in the midst of filming O. Russell's first film

since 2015's Joy, with details about the picture, including its title, being kept strictly under wraps. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John

David Washington and Robert De Niro. Unsurprisingly Anya was tight-lipped on details around the film, but did admit that even after several years in Hollywood she struggles to hide her

excitement at meeting some of the industry's biggest stars. She said: 'The movie has been very secretive to all of us as well. And so suddenly you hear these names and you

can't really… But you hear these titans of cinema and I'm just like, I am a child! I am a baby. This is insane.'
