Muse stars as Kim in Joseph Herrera’s provocative new dark comedy-thriller, now reaching audiences in 2026
Actress, voice performer and creative entrepreneur Erica Muse continues her rise as one of independent entertainment’s most versatile emerging talents with her role as Kim in the twisted new revenge thriller Don’t F with Mary Jane.
Written and directed by Joseph Herrera, Don’t F with Mary Jane stars Swisyzinna as Mary Jane, alongside Joe Walker as Jake, Erica Muse as Kim, Rafael Gantley as Johnny, Porsha Bunch Hall as Nia, Trey Seward as Devonte, Mitchell Maggard as Dustin, Lucretia Johnson as Dr. Webber and Sean Michael Carrigan as Don.
The film takes audiences into a wildly unpredictable world of betrayal, obsession, revenge and dark humor.
After discovering that her boyfriend is cheating on her, Mary Jane reaches her breaking point. Rather than simply ending the relationship and moving on, she decides to revisit the men who have hurt her in the past and determine whether any of them have actually changed.
What begins as emotional retaliation quickly spirals into something considerably darker as Mary Jane descends into a violent and increasingly delusional nightmare.
The result is an unusual combination of psychological thriller, revenge movie, drama and pitch-black comedy—a film that isn’t particularly interested in playing by conventional genre rules. IMDb categorizes the 2026 production as a comedy, drama and thriller, while Rotten Tomatoes lists a running time of approximately 77 minutes.
For Erica Muse, playing Kim provides another opportunity to demonstrate the range that has increasingly defined her career.
Muse has built an extensive résumé encompassing live-action film and television, voice acting and dubbing, commercials, print work and production. Born in Dallas, Texas, she began performing as a child and stepped onto her first film set as a teenager.
Her recent screen credits include Insane Like Me?, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark and The Texorcist, while her broader career has included work associated with projects such as 12 Mighty Orphans and Cruel Summer.
But Don’t F with Mary Jane represents the kind of fearless independent filmmaking that gives performers an opportunity to enter worlds that mainstream movies don’t always dare to explore.
Early attention for the film has focused heavily on that unconventional approach.
A recent PopHorror review described the picture as a twisted revenge story and specifically cited Muse’s performance as Kim as part of the ensemble creating the movie’s believable, chaotic and sinister atmosphere. The publication also reported that the film is distributed by Breaking Glass Pictures.
At its center is a story about what happens when emotional wounds, betrayal and obsession are allowed to completely consume someone.
It’s funny.
It’s disturbing.
It’s violent.
And sometimes it’s all three at once.
ERICA MUSE: BUILDING A CAREER WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
Muse’s work in entertainment extends far beyond traditional acting.
In addition to her growing film résumé, she has established herself as a professional voice performer with extensive dubbing work while developing Audisation, her own creative studio designed to support performers and other creatives.
That willingness to move between different corners of the entertainment industry has become one of the defining characteristics of her career.
Rather than allowing herself to be placed into a single category, Muse has embraced everything from comedy and drama to horror, thrillers, voice-over and unconventional independent cinema.
Her philosophy toward storytelling also comes from an intensely personal place.
Muse has publicly discussed surviving a traumatic abduction in 2015 and how creativity and storytelling became important parts of moving forward. That experience helped strengthen her belief that stories can connect people, provide escape and allow audiences to experience emotions they may otherwise keep buried.
It’s a philosophy that makes her attraction to unusual characters and challenging material particularly understandable.
WELCOME TO MARY JANE’S WORLD
With Don’t F with Mary Jane, audiences aren’t entering a conventional revenge thriller.
They’re entering Mary Jane’s world.
And once they’re inside, the rules become increasingly difficult to predict.
Swisyzinna leads the film as a woman whose heartbreak transforms into obsession, while the supporting ensemble—including Erica Muse as Kim—helps populate the increasingly chaotic world surrounding her descent.
The movie’s official trailer has also begun reaching international entertainment audiences, with The Times of Indiafeaturing the trailer and highlighting Swisyzinna, Joe Walker and Erica Muse among the film’s stars.
For Muse, it’s another significant addition to a body of work that continues moving in unexpected directions.
And that’s exactly the point.
Erica Muse isn’t trying to build the safest career in Hollywood.
She’s building an interesting one.
With new film roles, an expanding voice career, Audisation and a growing presence within genre entertainment, Muse is establishing herself as the kind of multi-hyphenate performer who isn’t waiting for the entertainment industry to decide where she belongs.
She’s creating that space herself.
And with Don’t F with Mary Jane, audiences get another chance to see just how far she’s willing to go.
