American actress Sydney Sweeney recently spoke about her role in Sony Pictures’ film Madame Web. While the film saw negative reception and flopped at the box office, Sweeney revealed that she would be open to taking another crack at it if the story and team were right. However, she also disclosed that her decision to act in the film was a strategic business move to build a relationship with Sony, saying “Without doing Madame Web I wouldn’t have a relationship with the decision-makers over there.”
Sweeney is known for making strategic career moves rather than being solely motivated by a good story. She explained, “Everything in my career I do not just for that story, but strategic business decisions. Because I did that, I was able to sell Anyone But You. I was able to get Barbarella.” Her recent rom-com Anyone But You became the best-performing R-rated comedy since Bridget Jones’ Baby in 2016.
Madame Web is a Marvel Comics character and this recent release was expected to do well in the Box Office. However, the movie has failed to garner any commercial success, making it a “flop” at the box office. Sweeney spoke about the film’s performance and revealed that it hasn’t affected her much. In her own words, “I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen.”
This is not the first time Sweeney has discussed Madame Web. In a recent interview with GQ UK, she spoke about how the film helped her build a relationship with Sony. Being a strategic career-driven individual, she believes in making decisions that help her grow in the industry. It’s clear that Sydney Sweeney is dedicated to building her portfolio and creating a successful career in showbusiness.
