Getty Images for Valentino Sophie Thatcher knows what you think about her. She’s seen the headlines and social media posts. She’s dark. Maybe it’s the acting choices, like Natalie, her tortured teen on “Yellowjackets,” or an abducted missionary in “Heretic,” or the enslaved robot girlfriend in “Companion.” Perhaps it’s her Mormon upbringing, which she believes has fostered “a feeling of repression that has leaked into all of my characters.” (Thatcher left the LDS Church when she was 12.) Or is it her penchant for punk rock music and gothic fashion? Whatever it is, in conversation, the 25-year-old Chicago native comes off warm and witty, a far cry from her icy cool onscreen persona.
