Hunter Schafer’s New 78% Horror Film Is What I’ve Been Waiting For 5 Years

Summary

• Hunter Schafer finally landed a lead role in the horror film Cuckoo, proving her depth and talent as an actress.
• Cuckoo allows Schafer to showcase a new side of his career, testing his versatility in a horror setting.
• Hopefully Cuckoo is just the beginning of Schafer’s film career, which will lead to more diverse roles.

I waited for Hunter Schafer to get the leading roles she deserves since she blew up Euphoria five years ago, and it’s finally happening with his starring role in the acclaimed horror film CuckooWhile many of Schafer Euphoria co-stars, like Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, have landed major roles in movies and TV left and right, not everyone on the show has been so lucky. Barbie Ferreira had many of her scenes cut from the Jordan Peele film No and Alexa Demie has not appeared in a feature film since 2020 Mainstream.

Schafer is one of the finest actors in the Euphoria cast, bringing a lot of depth and nuance to the character of Jules. She even brought some of her own experience to the role when she co-wrote the Jules-centric special, “F*** Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob,” with Sam Levinson. Schafer should be a big star, but for the most part, she’s had to settle for bit parts in films like Types of Kindness AND The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and SerpentsBut everything changed with his first leading role.

Cuckoo is Hunter Schafer’s first leading role on TV or film.

Schafer has been well-deserved in leading roles since his debut in Euphoria.

Ever since I saw Schafer’s incredible performance in EuphoriaI thought he deserved to be a big star with leading roles in movies and TV shows. But so far I’ve been disappointed. Schafer has been relegated to supporting roles, such as Tigris Snow in The Ballad of the Singing Birds and the Snakesor even just cameo appearances, like Anna in Types of KindnessAlso in EuphoriaShe’s technically a supporting actress. Jules is essentially a lead in the series, and even had her own episode, but Zendaya is the lead and Rue is the main character.

Despite being an actress talented and charismatic enough to lead her own projects, Schafer has never landed a leading role in a film or television show, until now. Writer and director Tilman Singer cast Schafer in the lead role of Gretchen in his horror film CuckooGretchen is a teenager who moves with her father to the German Alps and becomes increasingly troubled by disturbing incidents that all seem to lead back to her father’s mysterious boss. Cuckoo finally gave Schafer the chance to shine in a leading role.

Cuckoo gives Hunter Schafer the chance to show a new side as an artist

Schafer gets to show his versatility in a horror role

As Schafer’s first horror project, Cuckoo It gave her the chance to show off her range a little moreOne of the toughest things about Jules in Euphoria is that she is virtually fearless. Even when Nate Jacobs approaches her with a knife, she doesn’t panic; she simply outwits him in front of everyone. Cuckoo gave Schafer the chance to play a character who is susceptible to fear and who backs down in the face of danger, and she is equally authentic playing a frightened character as she is playing the fearless Jules.

And not only that Cuckoo give Schafer the opportunity to play a scared character in a horror context; more generally, He also demonstrates his ability to lead a film as the protagonist. There’s a big difference between playing a supporting role in a few scenes and carrying an entire project as the main star. Schafer was already very experienced in the former, but her widely praised role in Cuckoo he has proven to be equally skilled in the latter as well.

Schafer has been cast in an undisclosed role in the upcoming miniseries

I hope Cuckoo is a preview of Hunter Schafer’s career after Euphoria

With any luck, this is just the beginning of Schafer’s movie star career.

I really hope so Cuckoo This is not an isolated incident; I hope this is just the beginning of Schafer’s postEuphoria movie star career. I hope this leads to Schafer getting more leading roles.and more opportunities to showcase other facets of her acting range. After starring in a horror film, she could appear in other horror projects and build a reputation as a scream queen. She could also transition into other genres and become an action heroine or a comedy star: her complex, layered performance in Euphoria he has proven that he can do practically anything.

While Euphoria season 3 is still planned for the near future, the actors are all getting older and it’s clear that the show is coming to an end. If season 3 actually happens, it will probably be the end of the series. Let’s hope that, Cuckoo It’s just the first of many great opportunities for Hunter Schafer to star in important projects and take flight as an actress.
