AceShowbiz - Sydney Sweeney has proven her star power despite the disappointing performance of "Madame Web." The "Euphoria" actress made waves with "Anyone But You" and has a slew of high-profile projects on the horizon, including the "Barbarella" remake, and now a "Star Wars" casting rumor emerges.
For months, rumors have circulated that Sweeney may join the "Star Wars" universe. Now, a new claim suggests she is being considered for the role of a Jedi.
Several "Star Wars" projects are in development, including the Daisy Ridley-led sequel, Dave Filoni's crossover event, and James Mangold's First Jedi story. Lucasfilm is also reportedly keen to have Tony Gilroy and Beau Willimon from "Andor" work on more "Star Wars" projects. In line with Sweeney's casting rumor, the one fronted by Ridley is expected to introduce a lot of new young main characters.
Sweeney has previously expressed gratitude for "Madame Web" as her first major studio role and acknowledged its impact on her career. She stated, "I'd never have been able to do [other projects] without 'Madame Web.' "
Fans are speculating that Sweeney could portray Mara Jade, the Emperor's former Hand and Luke Skywalker's wife in the Expanded Universe. She is also rumored to be in talks for other superhero roles, possibly Blonde Phantom or Spider-Man 4's Black Cat.
Despite the negative reception to "Madame Web", Sweeney's star remains on the rise. Her rumored involvement in "Star Wars" is a testament to her growing recognition as an actress. Which Jedi would you like to see her play in the galaxy far, far away?
