‘Death of a Unicorn’: Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd Lead A24’s New Dark Comedy

Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd star in Death of a Unicorn, the new dark comedy from A24 that promises chaos, humor, and surrealism.

The year 2025 is shaping up to bring exciting cinematic surprises, and Death of a Unicorn is one of the most anticipated releases. Set to hit theaters in spring 2025, the film marks the directorial debut of Alex Scharfman and pairs Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd in an unconventional story.

Ortega, the star of ‘Wednesday‘ and Sabrina Carpenter’s recent music video ‘Taste’, plays Riley, the daughter of Paul Rudd’s character. The plot kicks off when father and daughter accidentally hit a unicorn while driving to a weekend retreat. What starts as a surreal event quickly escalates when the father’s millionaire boss (played by Richard E. Grant) decides to exploit the animal’s healing properties for his own gain.

The film also features Will Poulter (Midsommar) and Téa Leoni (Madam Secretary). The soundtrack, created by John Carpenter, his son Cody, and Daniel Davies, promises to deliver a unique atmospheric experience.

A24 wraps up this year with the release of ‘Babygirl’, starring Nicole Kidman, while gearing up for this highly anticipated dark comedy, which has already stirred excitement. Without a doubt, Ortega continues to cement her place as one of the most versatile stars of her generation.
