Everett's next role was playing the protagonist Ben in Charlie Polinger's feature film The Plague, which premiered at The Cannes Film Festival in May of 2025. Everett received nominations for Best Lead Performance at the 2026 Independent Spirit Awards and for Best Young Actor/Actress at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards for The Plague.
