Sydney Sweeney has already stepped into the wider Marvel orbit once with 2024’s punching-bag Madame Web, but a rumor suggests she may get another shot at a new superhero movie. And this time, if the chatter is even close to accurate, the fit could be much more interesting.
According to SuperHeroHype, industry scooper MyTimeToShineHello recently claimed Sweeney is being eyed for a role in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men reboot. The outlet notes that Marvel has not confirmed the claim, and neither she nor the studio has publicly addressed it, so this should be treated as a rumor with a giant comic-book-sized grain of salt. Still, it follows earlier speculation that Marvel was interested in the in-demand actress for Emma Frost, which is where things get especially fun.
