This 'Longlegs' Scene with Maika Monroe & Nicolas Cage Is VERY Real

Maika Monroe on Collider Ladies Night for Longlegs.

The Big Picture I hope you’re ready for a one-two punch of horror icons on Collider Ladies Night. Last week we put the spotlight on Mia Goth for the release of MaXXXine, and now we’ve got Longlegs headliner Maika Monroe who is, hands down, one of the most exciting voices in the horror space right now — and has been for a decade.

Disney & Nickelodeon Weren’t for Maika Monroe Given Monroe started auditioning as a teenager, it likely won’t come as a surprise that she was asked to audition for a number of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon productions. If you’re familiar with even a fraction of the body of work she's amassed since, you know that’s not quite her thing.

Wondering about the kiteboarding reference? Kiteboarding wasn’t just a hobby for Monroe. She was a professional athlete in the sport. But ultimately, the time came when she had to choose between forging forward with that or committing to acting full force. “That was a real big turning point in my career and in my life. That experience on that set, it's like I saw this magic being made in this way that I can't really explain , but I think it has a lot to do with David , the director, and his vision. But just being a part of that and feeling that and being in it, it was magic for sure.”

A good time and a valuable learning curve, but one that further highlighted the types of on-set environments Monroe thrives in most. While there was a good deal Monroe was looking forward to jumping into the production, some of her most memorable experiences on set came from the unexpected, particularly when working with Nicolas Cage who plays the film’s wildly unsettling title character.

“I think the most important is her relationship with her mother. I feel like that's really, with anyone, it’s very informative, your childhood. So I think that that was a really important thing to understand and what things to bring in or wait until the end for her to discover things because, I mean, with trauma, you suppress a lot. And so I think it was important to know when to bring certain things forward and when to suppress.
