Williams also signed on to play Lorna Thompson in the sci-fi film We Are Monsters, which was set for a 2014 release.

In 2014, Williams portrayed Lydia in the British film The Falling, which premiered on 11 October 2014, and was released on 24 April 2015 in the UK. In December, Williams was in talks with Naughty Dog to star as Ellie in the film adaptation of the video game The Last of Us.

Views on feminism

Williams has been very vocal about social issues like feminism. She once commented to Entertainment Weekly, "I feel like we should stop calling feminists 'feminists' and just start calling people who aren't feminist 'sexist' – and then everyone else is just human. You are either a normal person or a sexist. People get a label when they’re bad. Because it works the other way, as well. A lot of men have it hard too."
