Sydney Sweeney Talks MADAME WEB and Teases a "Powerhouse of Badass Females"

Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) recently talked about her excitement about being a part of Sony Pictures’ upcoming Marvel movie Madame Web. She stars alongside Dakota Johnson, who takes on the lead role of Cassandra Webb, a paralyzed clairvoyant whose abilities allow her to see into the "spider world," and I’m hoping that this movie tells a cool and interesting origin story for the character.

While talking to Empire, Sweeny, who will play Julia Carpenter, aka the second Spider-Woman in the movie, shared: "I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to be able to talk about it." While she won’t really share any details, she did add: "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."

The supporting cast for the film includes Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Zosia Mamet, and Adam Scott.

Sweeney went on to talk about Superhero movies and how much her family loved taking her to see them when she was growing up. She said: "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]."

In the comics, Madame Web is an elderly blind woman named Cassandra Webb, who is “suffering from a chronic neuromuscular disease that makes it difficult to move and breathe, and as such, she’s connected to a life support system that looks like a spider web. The clairvoyant character has precognitive abilities and once helped Spider-Man find a kidnap victim.”

Madame Web is currently scheduled to release in the US on February 16, 2024. Are you looking forward to watching this movie?
