Oscar winning last March for “Anora” by Sean Baker, Mikey Madison is one of the most requested actresses of the moment in Hollywood. A luxury that allows him to refuse great opportunities such as the next “Star Wars”.
Rewarded for her role as sex worker with a broken heart in Anora de Sean Baker – Oscar for the best film and Palme d'Or at the Cannes Festival -, Mikey Madison is now embarrassed by choice. His Oscar allows him to be very selective for his future roles.
No to Star Wars
The young actress even refused a proposal for the next Star Wars film, Starfighter with Ryan Gosling, in which she was to embody a nasty. From this project, carried out by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things), we know for the moment little, only that the intrigue will take place five years after the events of the ninth episode of the saga, the ascent of Skywalker, and that it will not be a suite or a reboot.
If many would certainly have dreamed of winning a role in this production, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Mikey Madison has declined the offer for wage reasons.
A Gothic role to come
However, the actress finally found her next project. It is now announced in the mask of red death, rehabilitation of the classic of Edgar Allan Poe. The film, proposed by the company A24, will be directed by Charlie Polinger – including the first feature film, The Plague, was presented in the Un certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.
In this film, Mikey Madison will perform twin sisters. The story follows a crazy prince who welcomes the nobility in his castle while an epidemic ravages the outside world. One of the lost twins enters the castle and discovers a decadent universe of orgies, opium, plots and revenge.
The Hollywood Reporter recalls that the role held by Mikey Madison was initially announced for Sidney Sweeney, one of the stars in the Euphoria series.
