Sydney Sweeney recently played the character of Julia Cornwall in Sony Pictures’ Madame Web alongside Dakota Johnson. Her other release alongside Glen Powell; Anyone but You did slightly better than the former despite opening to mixed responses. Sweeney and Powell’s chemistry was highly appreciated by the audience and has been the talk of the industry ever since they started filming.
Sweeney has also showcased her exceptional work while portraying Cassie Howard on HBO’s Euphoria and appearing in the first season of the critically acclaimed anthology series The White Lotus. She earned Primetime Emmy Award nominations for her work on both series. The actress is now gearing up for the release of her psychological horror movie Immaculate in which she not only stars but also serves as the producer. In a recent interview, Sweeney talked about the actress she would like to work with next.
Sydney Sweeney dubbed as ‘girl Tom Cruise’ by fans
Sydney Sweeney portrays the character of Cecilia in Michael Mohan’s directorial movie Immaculate. She recently spoke to ET’s Denny Directo where she revealed how she feels about being called ‘girl Tom Cruise’ and being compared to Margot Robbie, given they both had dual roles for Immaculate and Barbie respectively. She said,
“First of all, I love Margot. I think she’s absolutely incredible and I hope I get to work with her one day. And I wanna do all my stunts like Tom Cruise, I wanna do all of it, a thousand percent. I am such an adrenaline junkie. I would do all of that.”
The actress mentioned that after listening and reading a lot of negativity online, she is happy to hear something positive. She went on to explain that as a producer on the upcoming movie, she was happy to be a part of the conversation. The actress called Immaculate her passion project as she recalled auditioning for the part as a teenager before the project was shelved. She added,
“It has been a passion project. I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. I saw the movie in my head. I was so attracted to the character and her journey and pushing myself to new limits with that and I loved it.”
Upon listening to Sweeney’s wish to work with Margot Robbie, fans took to their social media to share their opinion with a user writing, ‘The internet is not ready for this’, with another adding that the universe might explode with their casting. Another X user called the two brilliant actresses goddesses.

A fan shared that if they were cast in a movie together, they’d be in theatres before it even opens, pointing out that they are simply waiting for this duo to work together. A user pretty much spoke for everyone as they wrote that we all want to see the two of them in the same movie.
Sydney Sweeney auditioned for Immaculate when she was 16-years-old
In an interview with Variety, the actress dwelled upon how working on Immaculate helped her push herself to a new area. She explained that she loves pushing the boundaries and limits of what people expect to see from her. Sydney Sweeney added,
“I wish that I had a formulaic answer for how I did it. But whenever a director calls ‘action’, it’s just like a switch. And I allow of Sydney’s thoughts and feelings and emotions to disappear. And I am now whatever character I am playing.”
The actress pointed out that in the final scenes of the movie, whatever the audience will see was shot in just one take, later adding that they did three versions of it so that they could have multiple options. Recalling the process from auditioning at the age of 16 to finally seeing it on-screen, Sweeney’s attempt to make Immaculate happen is appreciable. She mentioned,
“I auditioned for it when I was 16 and it was a very different draft. I called the writer, Andrew Lobel, and got the clean, original draft, then reworked it to fit who I am today, keeping a lot of the same themes and storylines. And one of the biggest ones that carried over was something innately in the project that, sadly, is still a topic of discussion today.”
The actress said that she loves it when a film has a variation of ideas and concepts and allows people to have their own opinions, something Immaculate has done as well.
Immaculate releases on March 22nd, 2024.
