Mulvey has since starred in a number of other films, including Beyond Skyline, the sequel to the cult-classic Skyline,[11] and Bleeding Steel,[12] a science fiction thriller starring Jackie Chan, both in 2017, and the horror film Delirium, the historical drama Outlaw King, In Like Flynn, a biopic of Errol Flynn's early years,[13] and Desolate, a drama based on a family of farmers living in a dystopian future.,[14] the lattermost four all in 2018.
Mulvey was injured in a serious car accident in 2003,[15] in a head-on collision at 100km/h. He was trapped in the vehicle for almost an hour until he could be freed from the wreckage. The midsection of his face completely collapsed, an incision was made from ear to ear over the top of his scalp, his face "pulled down" and 17 titanium plates were then inserted to repair the fractures to his face and jaw. His left knee and ankle were also badly fractured. Mulvey also permanently lost his vision in his left eye.
He married Rachel Thomas, an academic and musician, in Byron Bay in 2010.
