Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “White Lotus,” is thrilled about her entry into the world of superhero movies alongside a group of formidable female characters. As a star in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Sweeney will be featured in the first female-led film of the franchise, bringing her award-winning talent to the realm of comic book movies.
Taking on the role of Julia Carpenter, a version of Spider-Woman, Sweeney will become a significant player in Sony’s Spidey universe, sharing the screen with other major characters like Venom and Morbius.
Praising the Power Of Female Characters
In an interview with Total Film magazine, as reported by Games Radar, Sydney Sweeney, the star of “Madame Web,” expressed her excitement about working alongside her female co-stars in her Marvel debut. Sweeney eagerly mentioned that she couldn’t contain her excitement and looks forward to discussing the project more openly in the future.
She specifically praised her co-stars Dakota Johnson, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor, reminiscing about the enjoyable moments they shared on set. Sweeney is thrilled about the upcoming film, which features a powerhouse of “badass females” taking the spotlight:
“I can’t wait to be able to be next to the girls that I filmed with – Dakota and Isabela, and Celeste. We had so much fun together. And I’m really excited that it’s just gonna be a powerhouse of badass females for the world to see.”
A Fought-For Role And Superhero Influence
Sweeney revealed her enthusiasm for the character she portrays, mentioning that she fought for the role before joining the cast of “Madame Web.” She considers it an incredible journey and looks forward to being a part of it.
In an earlier interview with Elle in October 2022, Sweeney discussed how superheroes have played a significant role in her life. She shared her love for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers,” stating that she has seen the film numerous times with her parents. Being a part of “Madame Web” has made her loved ones immensely happy:
“Superheroes have been my entire life! Those [films] are all my parents ever wanted to go see. I think I’ve seen ‘The Avengers’ probably 20, 30-plus times. My family, they love [them]… I could not have made them happier choosing to do that project [‘Madame Web’].”
Driving The Marvel Movie Forward With “Female Badass” Cast
While Sony has faced challenges in expanding its Spider-Man stories beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sydney Sweeney remains confident in herself and her female co-stars to make “Madame Web” a success for the studio.
Sweeney has dedicated significant effort to prepare physically for her new superhero role. Alongside Dakota Johnson and Celeste O’Connor, who also portray powerful female characters, there is great potential for these actresses to leave their mark on Sony’s Marvel legacy.
Fans caught their first glimpse of Sweeney in her new role last October, but there is still much work to be done before Sony completes this new story and adds it to the Spider-Man Universe. As the release of “Madame Web” has been delayed despite the completion of filming, anticipation continues to grow as fans eagerly await to see what Sydney Sweeney and her castmates have in store.
