– Sydney confirmed her return to HBO’s Euphoria for Season 3, despite her ongoing projects.
Sydney Sweeney’s Association with Spider-Man Universe**
Known for her role as Cassie Howard in the HBO series Euphoria, actress Sydney Sweeney’s recent foray into Sony’s Spider-Man universe didn’t meet studio expectations, with 2024’s ‘Madame Web’ bombing at the box office. Despite this setback, Sweeney indicated a willingness to delve back into the Spider-Man franchise, albeit under a specific condition.
In ‘Madame Web’, Sweeney gave life to character Julia Cornwall, better known as Spider-Woman. Even though the film wasn’t as successful as expected, Sweeney demonstrated total professionalism, expressing indifference towards the movie’s lukewarm reception. “I was just hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen,” she told the Los Angeles Times.
Willingness to Return to Spider-Man Universe But with a Catch
In her conversation with ComicBook.com, Sydney was asked whether she would consider returning to the Spider-Man universe if given an opportunity to star with Euphoria co-star Zendaya. Expressing her interest, she said, “Oh my god yeah, that’d be so cool”.
Interestingly, Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya, despite their association in ‘Euphoria’, have yet to share the screen in the superhero world. The events of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, that brought Venom and Eddie Brock into the MCU, could pave the way for Sweeney to return, opening up possibilities for her character to interact with Zendaya’s MJ in future installments.
Sydney Sweeney – Euphoria and Beyond
Sweeney’s commitment to her craft is evident even outside the world of super-hero movies. Balancing a multitude of projects, she confirmed her return in Season 3 of ‘Euphoria’ during an interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz. Sydney said she feels “at home” on the sets of ‘Euphoria’ and is excited about her character’s development in the upcoming season.
‘Euphoria’, expected to premiere in 2025, features an ensemble cast including Alexa Demi, Hunter Schafer, Zendaya, and Jacob Elordi. The unexpected demise of a key cast member, Angus Cloud, in July 2023 adds a somber note to the forthcoming season. For now, seasons one and two are currently streaming on HBO Max, and ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ is available on Apple TV+.
Despite the failure of ‘Madame Web’, Sydney Sweeney’s enthusiasm to return to the Spider-Man franchise underlines her dedication toward her career and her remarkable resilience as an actress. With prospects of her character intersecting with Zendaya’s MJ in the superhero world, fans of both the stars have something to look forward to.
