What should have been a celebratory casting reveal has quickly spiraled into controversy, as Hollywood legend Kim Novak didn’t hold back her thoughts on Sydney Sweeney stepping into her shoes.
Calling the decision “totally wrong,” the 93-year-old’s scathing reaction has ignited a heated debate online, dividing fans over whether Sweeney is the right fit to portray the iconic screen siren.
As the backlash grew, some fans began name-dropping alternative actresses they believed would be a “better fit” for the role, while others pushed back against Novak’s criticism altogether.
