Mikey Madison has signed up for her first movie since winning an Oscar for ‘Anora’.
The 26-year-old actress will co-star with Kirsten Dunst in upcoming thriller ‘Reptilia’, which will be directed by Alejandro Landes Echavarría.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie tells the story of a dental hygienist seduced by a mysterious mermaid into the dark and wet underworld of Florida’s exotic animal trade.
Pastel, Imperative Entertainment and AF Films will produce, alongside Landes Echavarría’s via his A STELA CINE banner.
Principal photography will commence later this year.
In addition to her Best Actress Oscar for ‘Anora’, Madison also won a BAFTA for best leading actress and the Independent Spirit Award for best lead performance. She also earned nominations for a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice Award.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Mikey was offered a role in the new and untitled ‘Star Wars’ movie directed by ‘Deadpool Wolverine’ filmmaker Shawn Levy, but she declined.
The movie is said to be a standalone project that isn’t connected with the Skywalker Saga, which concluded with 2019’s ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.’
It will star Ryan Gosling and Levy has reportedly been developing the project since late 2022.
