Mikey Madison, fresh from her Oscar win for playing in Neon’s ‘Anora’, has taken on a new role.
Discussions are underway for Madison to take on the lead role in ‘The Masque of the Red Death‘, a fresh take on Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling tale directed by Charlie Polinger. This film is set to be released globally by A24, with Picturestart handling production.
Madison has earned a strong reputation for being meticulous when selecting her acting projects, and following her stunning rise to fame after the premiere of Anora at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, she hasn’t taken on many roles since then, with only two exceptions. The first exception was a brief discussion about playing a villain in the Star Wars film Starfighter, but that conversation fell apart due to payment issues. The second exception is her involvement in the project Reptilia, which revolves around a dental hygienist who falls in love with a mermaid.
It’s possible that Madison has discovered a potential next step in her career, one with an imminent start date, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter. If the rumors are true, she will be portraying twin sisters in a tale where a cruel prince invites the nobility into his castle during a time when a deadly plague is ravaging the peasants. The narrative unfolds as a long-lost twin, disguised among the lower class, infiltrates the castle and uncovers a world of debauchery, drug use, political intrigue, revenge, and beheadings within its decadent walls.
The project is being characterized as a typical production by A24, featuring moments that might make you raise an eyebrow and create shareable content popular with TikTok users.
In the role previously held by Sydney Sweeney, Madison steps in for the film “Red Death”. Unfortunately, Sweeney had to withdraw due to a busy schedule this year. Alongside working on “Euphoria”, she’s also committed to starring in Legendary’s adaptation of the Japanese media property “Gundam” this fall.
Red Death is due to shoot at the end of this year or early next year, according to sources.
Madison garnered numerous recognitions for her remarkable work on ‘Anora’, securing several nominations and eventually triumphing, thanks to the BAFTA Awards and the Academy Awards. ‘Anora’ was honored with five Oscars, with the best picture award being one of them. Notably, Madison graced our screens in ‘Scream’ (2022) and ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’.
She is repped by UTA, Authentic Talent and Sloane Offer.
