Maika Monroe Didn't Know What Nicolas Cage Would Look Like While Filming Longlegs - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[GA-st]

Her first talk show appearance? This is potentially a huge step in her career. It's understandable she'd be a little nervous. Maika's a national treasure!

[Murasakitsuyukusa]

Maika is definitely one of the most talented younger actresses in the industry right now, with absolutely immaculate taste in the horror films she decides to take a part in.

[detailsmove]

she killed it in Longlegs; she's got a bright future in acting

[smk]

mia goth, maika monroe, and jenna ortega give me hope that we are in a new golden era of horror films

[rhomugamma]

She’s really one of those actors who, whenever I see she’s in something, is a no-brainer to watch. I’m never disappointed and for that I wish her nothing but frightening success!

[meganhoof]

That explains why it seemed like such a genuine shocked reaction when she met longlegs in the film lol

[IrbyyTV]

She reminds me so much of Kate Hudson and a Fanning sister.

She was spectacular in Longlegs.

[GregMuniz]

Longlegs was a fun and creepy movie. Loved it.

[chrissteffen]

It Follows, Longlegs, and The Guest are are classics

[shawn]

She is so talented!! Picks very interesting projects, and from this press run she seems like the chillest, nicest person!

[Model_Roe]

She needs to play Gwen Stefani in a biopic lol!

[jacobangeles]

I can’t believe it took her ten years to follow the villain after the villain tries to follow her. The tables have turned on Maika.

[julievanzile]

She was amazing! Reminded me of Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs,
The movie really did a great job of creeping me out.

[sparkythancztwise]

She so talented and likeable. I saw people commenting she was nervous (lovingly) but I thought she shook it off really well with Seth's supportive presence and thought she relaxed into a nice back n forth banter.

[MrMisuma]

For me It Follows is a modern masterpiece. And I hate using the word masterpiece.

[Lewis-lwbj]

so good to see her booked for a talk show at last! she’s been quietly building a brilliant body of work ever since It Follows (and even a few nice roles prior, too). can’t wait to see what’s next for Maika 😍

[bomapdich]

her acting stands out so much this movie.

[RogueRotte]

Wow! I never realized what a great actor Maika is! In LONGLEGS she's so morose and soft spoken. Here she seems so energetic :)

[Killpopkulture]

We have loved Maika since It Follows!! She killed it Longlegs!! go girl

[damiencoffey]

"It Follows" is one of the best horror movies, she was really good in it. Can't wait to see part 2!
