Mikey Madison, fresh off her Oscar win for Anora, has already lined up her first big project since taking home the golden statue.
The 26-year-old actress is set to star alongside Kirsten Dunst in Reptilia, an upcoming thriller directed by Alejandro Landes Echavarría. Talk about a major leap after winning an Oscar!
The film, which is set to begin principal photography later this year, takes a dark and unexpected turn into Florida’s exotic animal trade. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the plot follows a dental hygienist who is seduced by a mysterious mermaid, leading her into the murky depths of the trade. Sounds like an eerie adventure we can’t wait to see on the big screen.
Reptilia is being produced by Pastel, Imperative Entertainment, and AF Films, with Landes Echavarría also producing through his A STELA CINE banner. This star-studded lineup is shaping up to be a gripping film that’s not afraid to get weird, and we’re here for it.
Mikey’s role in Reptilia comes right on the heels of her stellar performance in Anora, which earned her the Best Actress Oscar, a BAFTA, and an Independent Spirit Award for best lead performance. Her captivating portrayal also secured nominations for a Golden Globe, a SAG Award, and a Critics’ Choice Award. Needless to say, Mikey is quickly becoming one of the industry’s most exciting talents.
But that’s not all, Mikey was recently offered a role in a new Star Wars movie, directed by Shawn Levy, the mind behind Deadpool Wolverine. The movie, which will star Ryan Gosling, is not connected to the main Star Wars saga, but it’s a standalone project that’s been in development since 2022. Despite the hype, Mikey turned it down, proving she’s only interested in roles that really speak to her. Bold move, but it shows Mikey’s desire to make choices that align with her artistic vision.
As she steps into this new thriller, it’s clear Mikey Madison’s future is brighter than ever. After an Oscar win, a slew of nominations, and a role in an ambitious thriller, there’s no doubt she’s a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Let’s see where she goes next!
