Sydney Sweeney

‘s star is definitely and undeniably on the rise, and with her recent foray into the superhero genre in Sony’s Madame Web

, fans are already speculating about where she could land next. While Madame Web may not have been a critical darling, Sweeney’s talent is undeniable, and many believe she deserves another chance at a comic book role, with her prowess in navigating character complexities within superhero genres. 

With Madame Web

under her belt, Sweeney has been conveniently positioned within the evolving landscape of superhero cinema, bridging the Marvel and DCU narrative right over her.

Hinting at connections to the broader Marvel Multiverse. And playing right into it, here are a few potential superhero roles we think might be fit for our webby damsel.

5 Marvel Superhero Roles that Sydney Sweeney Could Play

With Sydney Sweeney having officially entered the Marvel Universe with her role as Julia Carpenter, the second spider-woman in Madame Web,

the audience has since then been missing-in-speculations about Sweeney’s future in the Marvel Universe. Noteworthy are her striking looks, charisma and acting versatility make her an ideal candidate for playing iconic Marvel characters.

1. Black Cat

Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. Black Cat, is a complex character, known for her skills as a cat burglar, her acrobatic fighting style, and her complicated relationship with Spider-Man. Sweeney’s charisma and ability to portray both vulnerability and confidence would make her an excellent choice for this role

, whom she might have already been offered the chance to play as

, as rumor would have it. 

2. Charlotte Witter

Direct descendant, or granddaughter, to Cassandra Webb aka Madame Web, Charlotte Witter is unlike your traditional hero. Instead, this is one of the most sinister villains in the Marvel Comics that we are speaking of at the very moment. While in the costumed-combat world alright, playing the evil Webb would give Sweeney a chance to showcase her range and play a more complex, morally ambiguous character within the spider-verse. 

3. Blonde Phantom

Louise Grant Mason, also known as Blonde Phantom, was one of Marvel Comics’ first female heroes

. While she possesses no superhuman abilities to her name, she still stands as an undeniably powerful female character. Sweeney, on the other hand, has shown her undeniable ability to play powerful female characters

, superhero or not. Again, the actress seems to have had an offer flying about in the air for the character

, and this time, in competition with Taylor Swift.

4. Emma Frost

Emma Frost is a powerful telepath and leader of the X-Men, known for her sharp wit, strategic mind, and iconic fashion sense. Sweeney’s look and presence would perfectly embody Emma Frost’s intelligence and sophistication, allowing her to play a complex and powerful mutant.

5. Gwen Stacy

As we all are heartbreakingly aware of, Gwen Stacy is Peter Parker’s first love interest in the comics. Her intelligence, warmth, and tragic fate make her a beloved character. Previously, she has been played by Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard and Allison Adams in The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3

and The Green Goblin’s Last Stand,

in that order. Casting Sweeney as Gwen Stacy would allow her to explore a more grounded and emotional role within the MCU’s Spider-Man universe, potentially leading to a powerful storyline.

With Madame Web

being a connection to the broader Marvel Universe, Sweeney’s casting in superhero flick has opened up vast potentials for her, including landings in the DCU.

The upcoming DCU reboots, to be shared universe stories, as confirmed by James Gunn to Collider

. What’s of importance here is the several potential roles plated up for where Sydney Sweeney’s versatility and charisma could be used to bring the depth of life to these characters. Allowing the actress to make a significant impact on the images of these existing beloved characters and a persona to remember them by as well.

1. Supergirl

Relative to Superman, as the name may give away, the character possesses similar powers and her cousin’s strong sense of justice, as if a cherry on top. Sweeney’s youthful energy and ability to portray determination would make her a compelling Supergirl,

 balancing the character’s inherent strength with her vulnerability as she adapts to life on Earth.

2. Poison Ivy

Botanical prodigy turned eco-terrorist, Poison Ivy uses her knowledge of plants to fight for an environmental cause, but also against all odd and that includes the persistence of mankind. Sweeney’s ability to portray both allure and danger would be perfect for Poison Ivy,

capturing the character’s complex motivations and seductive nature.

3. Zatanna

Zatanna is a powerful stage magician and sorceress, able to cast spells by speaking backwards. Sweeney’s ability to create theatrical performances in the roles she plays would make her a natural fit for Zatanna,

bringing the character’s magical abilities and stage persona to life.

4. Black Canary

Skilled martial artist and sonic scream expert, Black Canary’s strength, determination and leadership skills and all something that Sweeney could perfectly portray. With her physical capabilities blended with her expression of unwavering resolve

would make her a great Black Canary, leading the Birds of Prey with confidence.

5. Killer Frost

Killer Frost is a scientist who becomes trapped in a sub-zero experiment, gaining the ability to absorb heat and generate ice. Once again, Sweeney’s talent for portraying complex characters with emotional depth would make her perfect for Killer Frost

, exploring the character’s struggle with her powers and her place in the world.

Whether it’s in the Marvel or DC universe, Sydney Sweeney has the talent and versatility to take on a variety of superhero roles. While her turn in Madame Web may not have been a resounding success, it’s clear that she has the potential to shine in the genre. It will be exciting to see where she lands next and how she brings another beloved comic book character to life.
