Can Escape Room Hurry Up and Come Out Already So We Can See More Indya Moore?
Indya Moore is giving fans everything they want this summer. First, it was a gag-worthy dream wedding as Angel in the final season of Pose, complete with a cinematic serenade at the altar. And next, theyll play a New Yorker having a grand old time on the bustling streets of the city in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. Wait a minute  [touches earpiece]  scratch that, we have word that Moores character will actually be fighting to escape the jaws of death on the streets of New York City in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions! A minor correction, but an important one. As Pride month rolls on, were continuing to see new snippets of the Pose star in the horror sequel, like this teaser in which Moore tries to pull Logan Miller out of some quicksand and this one, released Tuesday, in which their character is caught in a short-circuiting subway car. (Look, we really need to fund the MTA.) Thats on top of last months new trailer, which offered the most comprehensive look to date at Moores performance. The Escape Room film franchise is based on the popular puzzle game in which people pay to be locked in a room so they can solve puzzles in order to get out. (Personally, that doesnt sound like very much fun, but its no business of mine what consenting adults do in their spare time.) The trailer features a subway scenario thats every straphangers nightmare. Youre riding along, when suddenly the Q train becomes a deadly trap that you must collaborate with everyone on board to solve. (Hey, weve all been there!) Safe to say Moore would be our first pick among potential savvy conspirators in getting out of this particular jam. What Pose Revealed About the Way Hollywood Works As the groundbreaking dramas final season kicks off, it also leaves behind a complicated legacy. View Story  The movie will mark the actor and activists first major film role following the conclusion of Pose. Moores appearance in a mainstream summer blockbuster comes as a promising sign while the legacy of the series is still being written. Many fans are invested in the future success of its multi-talented stars, hoping to see more trans actors in all manner of roles. Pose alum Mj Rodriguez is also making her next major move with a role opposite Maya Rudolph in an Apple TV+ comedy series with the working title Loot. Angelica Ross, in addition to her vocal activism, will return to the upcoming season of American Horror Story. Hailie Sahar will also star as trans pioneer Sir Lady Java in an upcoming biopic from the Emmy-winning director of American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson. Moore previously appeared in in Queen & Slim and Saturday Church, a stirring portrait of queer and trans youth on New Yorks Christopher Street Piers in which Rodriguez also co-starred. But Escape Room: Tournament of Champions feels like exactly the right kind of project for Moores first post-Pose summer. Its June, we just went through a pandemic, and I can think of nothing I want to see more than a bunch of beautiful people on a big screen solving elaborate life-or-death puzzles. Escape Room: Tournament of Champions is coming to theaters on July 16. Get the best of whats queer. Sign up for them. 's weekly newsletter here.
