Teyana Taylor is ready to step back into the world of One Battle After Another.
The actress and singer has been dominating awards season, snagging a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture and earning an Academy Award nomination in the same category.
Now, she’s setting her sights on a sequel. Taylor says she’s eager to reprise her role as Perfida in a possible follow-up directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. In a recent chat with IndieWire, she made it clear she’s all in.
“The conversations are very, very real. I want to give everybody confirmation that I am currently begging PTA to give us that. I’m begging him to give us that,” Taylor shared.
Earlier in the interview, Teyana Taylor described her acting career as a “marathon,” making it clear she’s pacing herself through the moment.
“So I’m taking my time because I’m still trying to process everything, all while still having these important conversations, wanting people to fully understand who Perfidia is, and giving better insight on who she is and the overall goal of the whole movie,” she told IndieWire.
In One Battle After Another, Taylor starred alongside Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio. The film also featured Chase Infinti, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, and others.
One Battle After Another is heading into the 98th Academy Awards with a massive 13 nominations, including nods for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director.
The big night will air live on ABC at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 15, 2026.
