Mikey Madison has her sights on a new role!

The 26-year-old Oscar winner is reportedly in talks to star in the upcoming A24 film The Masque of the Red Death, a reimagining of the Edgar Allen Poe story, according to THR.

Mikey would be taking over the lead role from Sydney Sweeney, who was attached to the project earlier this year, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. (She has quite the list of upcoming projects!)

In The Masque of the Red Death, from filmmaker Charlie Polinger, Mikey “would play twin sisters in a story that sees a mad prince take in the noble class into his castle while a plague devastates the peasantry. The story sees a long-lost twin, hidden among the lower class, enter the castle and into a decadent world of orgies, opium, power schemes, revenge and decapitations.”

The upcoming film is set to start filming end of this year or early 2026.

This marks one of Mikey‘s first post-Oscar win roles, along with the thriller Reptilia with Kirsten Dunst.

Previously, it was reported Mikey turned down starring as a villain in Shawn Levy‘s Star Wars movie with Ryan Gosling, and THR now reports negotiations stopped over pay.
