The Terrors of the Lusca is a 2025 science fiction action film and the fourth installment in the Sea Monsters Universe. The film was written and directed by Lexi Alexander and produced by Zack Snyder, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Gore Verbinski from a screenplay by James Wan. It stars Sasha Calle, Ruby Rose, Hailee Steinfeld, Anthony Ramos, Katherine Waterston, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Nick Adams, Michael Keaton, and Salma Hayek. In the film, set two months after the events of The Serpent, Lucía and Sienna are forced to confront a creature far more dangerous than their previous foe; the Lusca, a shark-like monster with octopus tentacles. The mission becomes complicated when Lucía learns that she is two months pregnant, courtesy of her previous love who died one week before she met Sienna. The Terrors of the Lusca opened in theaters on February 6th, 2025; the film was a financial success, grossing $918 million worldwide. It also received universal acclaim like the first film, with praise for its visual effects, action sequences, themes, direction, performances (particularly Calle, Rose, Steinfeld, and Hayek), musical score, screenplay, stunts, and emotional weight. It received numerous accolades, with Alexander winning an Academy Award for Best Director, and Calle and Rose both winning a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. A sequel is in development with the legacy cast, including Calle, Rose, and Hayek, set to reprise their roles again.
