Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, who has been cast in the upcoming SpiderMan spinoff movie MadameWeb 🕸️, says she grew up watching Marvel movies. 'I just dreamt of being able to be a part of something bigger than life itself.'
Madame Web actress Sydney Sweeney says she grew up watching Marvel movies. In recent years, Sony has been raking in big sums with its Spider-Man Universe. Spider-Man: No Way Home earned Sony and Marvel a little shy of $2 billion, while other in-universe movies like Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage have also grossed impressive global revenues, totaling $500 million and $850 million, respectively.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Development on Sony's Spider-Man Universe's Madame Web commenced in 2019. At that time, Charlize Theron and Amy Adams were circling the titular role, but ultimately, Sony brought Kerem Sanga on board to re-write the script from Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, and the Spider-Man spin-off movie was rechristened completely.
Oh my goodness. I grew up watching Marvel movies and superheroes are just the coolest thing ever. So I just dreamt of being able to be a part of something bigger than life itself. And that’s what I feel like I’m getting to be a part of with Madame Web. Although the star has been incredibly coy about her Madame Web role, speculations are rife that Sweeney might play Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress has long been a popular fancast for the Spider-Man love-interest/anti-hero. And now that she has officially joined the SSU, fans are hoping she ends up playing the part. Regardless of whatever character Sweeney is playing in Madame Web, the actress is definitely working hard to ace her new job.
With her love for Marvel, the superhero genre, her persistent hard work, and a spectacular acting prowess that she recently demonstrated through her turn as Cassie in Euphoria season 2, Sweeney is undoubtedly the perfect casting choice for Madame Web. Of course, since Sweeney has grown up watching MCU films, she must be familiar with the nuances of playing a superhero/ supervillain as well as fans' expectations from the movies.
