Alycia Debnam-Carey lands role in the Monsterverse movie franchise

by

Alycia Debnam-Carey, recognized for her roles as Commander Lexa in “The 100” and Alicia in “Fear The Walking Dead,” and with numerous other credits to her name, has been announced as the newest cast member for an upcoming movie within the Monsterverse franchise. This Australian actress will be joining the film’s production, which serves as a sequel to 2024’s “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire,” produced by Legendary Pictures.

Initially, Deadline broke the news on April 9th about Debnam-Carey being associated with the film. Though her character remains undisclosed, I’m confident she’ll deliver a stellar performance, given her past roles, particularly those that demand emotional and physical intensity. The prospect of her battling against two formidable monsters is intriguing, but I don’t expect it to be significantly distinct from fending off zombies or trying to save the world.

What the Monsterverse Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire follow-up could be about and what Alycia Debnam-Carey said about joining the franchise

Stepping into the cinematic arena alongside Daniella Pineda, I’ve got an impressive lineup including Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, and my co-star from Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix, Kaitlyn Dever. As a team in the forthcoming Monsterverse film, we’re set to confront a “cataclysmic world-ending threat” alongside Godzilla and Kong, as per Deadline. Although this description leaves much to the imagination, it presents an exciting prospect – one that hasn’t been explored before in post-apocalyptic or science fiction settings.

The New Empire” turned out to be the highest-grossing film in the Monsterverse series, amassing a staggering $570 million worldwide by the beginning of June 2024.

Actress Debnam-Carey responded to the recent casting news on Instagram by sharing a screenshot from Deadline’s article, accompanied by the caption she wrote.

“Let’s go have some fun!”

How Alycia Debnam-Carey transformed TV with her role as Lexa from The 100

In the TV series The 100, Alycia Debnam-Carey’s portrayal of Commander Lexa might be considered her breakout role, as many viewers primarily recognize her for this character. Her on-screen presence and significant romantic relationship with Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor), another trailblazing LGBTQ female character, attracted a large fanbase. In fact, Lexa is often recognized as one of the most impactful lesbian characters in media history.

Beyond making a significant impact in the LGBTQ Community, Lexa underscored the idea that women can hold powerful leadership positions, regardless of societal expectations. Women should never be denied the opportunity to pursue their ambitions, particularly when it benefits all of humanity. Remarkably, despite her limited screen time on The 100, Lexa reinforced this value, making her character even more extraordinary.

There’s little question that Debnam-Carey is poised to excel in the Monsterverse series, given her impressive performances in past roles.
