Shit like Roadhouse must be satisfying to make. You just get to hang out in a beach town for a few months.
Kinda sad that that he goes weirdly underrated though. I get the vibe maybe he just doesn't do the "networking" side of acting much.

Have doubts on Xmen. Marvel still doesn't know what to do with them and it's disappointing they are bringing the fox xmen back yet again when they should be selling audiences on new actors. Hard to sell a new professor x or magneto when you're just like hey remember Patrick Stewart. Good luck to the actor that takes over Wolverine as well

They’re already casting new actors for an X-Men revival after Secret Wars. >!Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey in the upcoming Spider-Man film.!<
Secret Wars is going to basically reboot the whole MCU. There might be a few actors who carry over, but it’s Marvel’s last ditch effort to revive the movies. I think the bigger question is whether audiences will care after that.

Sydney’s style is best suited for projects like The Housemaid & Euphoria. She plays up a very ditzy type of sex appeal not the clever/manipulative vixens you see in Marvel. I know Sydney is the biggest sex symbols with boys and men of a certain age but I just can’t imagine Black Cat with monotone vocal cry.

It’s not apart of the Disney-Sony main line canon and Sony discontinued their future plans for the SSU so she wouldn’t appear again.
She could theoretically still be cast as another character in the MCU. It’s been done before. I just don’t think her current acting style fits any MCU character.

FrameworkisDigimonMar 23, 2026

>I just don’t think her current acting style fits any MCU character.
Is your point that you can't look at any Marvel character and think "yes, this is in Sweeney's wheelhouse" or that you look at the MCU and you think "I can't imagine an MCU film where a role in Sweeney's wheelhouse would make sense"?
Because I was saying the former pretty much literally yesterday but I've changed my mind. You could easily do an interpretation of Riot at Xavier's where the Cuckoos -- who are emotionless stepford smilers -- don't keep it together when the five in one becomes the three in one. It wouldn't be how the comics did it -- the characters barely changed -- but going from five to three causing a breakdown would be a logical character development. I think Sweeney can do that. Would I want her to play them? No, she's too old but if you were to make them ~30 then it works.

That’s a good point. They could definitely alter a character to fit within her range.

Can’t really blame her for that last one. When you realize that your character, despite having potential for depth and nuance, is only ever going to be a cliche for the hero to save you kinda stop giving a shit.

I always hated her as an actress solely because MJ was annoying in Spider-Man. Then Fargo S2 dropped and I was like “oh my god Kirsten Dunst I was wrong about you all these years.”

southernfirefly13Mar 23, 2026

Agreed! Jesse Plemons ain’t the only one who deserves a recognized career! I always felt that Kirsten wasn’t treated fairly, she’s an excellent actress who never got her dues. I hope this is somewhat of a comeback for her. Not that she needs a comeback, but more so she deserves another show at widely acknowledged and appreciate exposure.

But she’s also not regularly in films that perform in a big way, regardless of whether it’s A24’s biggest film or Spider Man or Jumanji. It’s safe to say she’s in things that a lot of folks don’t see, so she has every right to want to be in more mainstream stuff…

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are what happens when you order Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling off of Temu.

First was alright but Sydney Sweeney was an anchor around that movie’s neck. She was awful in it but I guess will keep getting roles since she’s hot.

I guess this movie didn't really land for me. Found it pretty ham fisted with kinda bad writing.
Also thought this movie was proof that the whole Gen Z wants less gratuitous nudity is nonsense. Felt like every other scene they were like, how do we get Sydney's t*** out? But hey, I've never been on the anti-nudity train, it doesn't always work but I don't mind it most of the time.

Lol the plot of this movie somewhat reminds me of the fake show *Payback Ladies* that Sally gets cast for in the show Barry.

I’ve only seen the movie and have no knowledge of the books but correct me if I’m wrong but she completely Inspector Gadget’d her way out of trouble in the first movie.
Her character demonstrated no skills to suggest she skilled her way out of trouble.

[It made nearly $400M on a $35M budget.](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt27543632/) A sequel was all but guaranteed.

73% on rotten tomatoes. 92% audience score. Financial success. Why is it surprising it’s getting a sequel?

Did you actually watch the movie? Or are you just parroting what others have bandwagoned?

Movie was fun and entertaining, thanks to Seyfried and despite the dullness of Sydney Sweeney. Not to say I'm interested in a sequel, though. I'll have to wait and see on that.

Money is more important than quantity for studios unfortunately, they’ll shit out slop until it starts losing money
