Last Night In Soho Cast & Character Guide

Edgar Wright’s latest movie, Last Night In Soho, is full of gripping characters played by the top-billed Last Night In Soho cast. Though Wright is best known for comedic films like Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and Hot Fuzz, Wright stepped away from comedy in 2017 with the action-crime-drama Baby Driver. Now, Wright’s horror-mystery Last Night In Soho is releasing just in time for Halloween. With an audience-drawing cast, Last Night In Soho is sure to please fright-seekers for the scare season.

Set in present-day London, Last Night In Soho’s cast is led by Thomasin McKenzie who plays Eloise, a young woman who leaves behind her grandmother’s country home and ventures to the big city for design school. An outsider among the other design students, Eloise finds she prefers her dreams, where she is transported to 1960s London and has a strange connection with a dazzling showgirl, Sandie (played by Anya-Taylor Joy). As Eloise is pulled deeper into Sandie’s past, however, Eloise finds dark secrets—secrets that won’t stay in her dreams.

The Giallo-inspired Last Night In Soho thrills with its glittering scenes of vintage London contrasted by the dark, grimy life beneath the veneer. Additionally, the movie is brought to life by the extremely talented Last Night In Soho cast, full of big names and film newcomers alike. Here is a guide to the characters in Last Night In Soho and the actors who play them.

Eloise moves into her own apartment and finds her dreams of 1960’s London—and the dazzling life of the showgirl, Sandie (played by Anya Taylor-Joy)—are more appealing than her waking life until Sandie’s secrets turn Eloise’s dreams into nightmares.
