Who is Sydney Sweeney playing opposite Dakota Johnson in Sony's Madame Web?
Euphoria has cemented the fame of some of its existing stars and been a breakout launchpad for others, like Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie on the show. Between the past two seasons and a great turn in HBO’s The White Lotus, Sweeney is now a big enough name to be recruited for some higher profile blockbusters, including one in the Marvel space. Albeit Sony’s Marvel, not Disney’s., Sydney Sweeney has now been cast in the Madame Web movie opposite Dakota Johnson in a mystery role.
But nothing is as weird as Madame Web, where in the comics, she was a very old woman who did not actually fight anyone, hooked up to a life-support machine. Dakota is playing what appears to be a revamped version of Web where she will be younger, and reportedly due to the character’s psychic powers, Sony may be trying to make her their own version of Doctor Strange or something.... [+]What’s totally unknown is what role Sydney Sweeney will play.
