Synopsis

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.

  • misterwolf Sofia and Will manage to research the creature, and science reveals it as the Lusca, a sea monster that many assumed was either extinct or had existed only in myth. Lucía and Sienna decide to hunt it down and set sail for its whereabouts. Cassie O'Donnell joins the crew, reuniting with Carlos González, while a recovering Willow Reynolds also joins.

  • misterwolf During a maelstrom, the Lusca attacks their ship and seriously damages the hull. The crew is forced to repair the ship in the storm; as the repaired ship is being driven by Carlos, Lucía starts throwing up again, with Sienna and Cassie at her side to help her. Cassie is the only member of the crew who does not know of Lucía's pregnancy, so she is told by her and Sienna of this.

  • misterwolf Carlos is knocked unconscious when the ship collides with the Lusca's territory, forcing a weary Lucía to fight her own pregnancy sickness and take over as the pilot. She intentionally crashes the ship on land, allowing Sienna's brother Danny to arm the crew with harpoons and guns. Lucía fights her illness long enough to fight the beast with a spear.

  • misterwolf Sienna joins Lucía in the fight, saying "We fight that thing together. We both kill it, for our child!", before they both overpower it and sever its tentacles. Lucía finishes the beast off by stabbing it through its head with the spear, before collapsing and going unconscious. Sienna carries her back to the ship and they make it to the docks. Lucía recovers in the hospital, and is relieved when she is informed that the baby is still alive. One week later, Lucía and Sienna learn that the baby is a girl, and has an A-positive blood type.

  • misterwolf Six months later, a very pregnant Lucía and Sienna marry at the docks, before leaving and setting out on their repaired and now-modified ship. Two weeks after the wedding, Lucía gives birth to her daughter in the captain's quarters, and she and Sienna name her Luna. Sofia enters the quarters and holds Luna for the first time, and then the end credits roll.
