Sydney Sweeney starred in Sony’s Madame Web, which has been one of 2024’s biggest high-profile flops, and now she’s commented on that and revealed why she agreed to be in the movie in the first place. Speaking to GQ, Sweeney said Madame Web was “such a large movie with so many people involved,” and she was “just hired as an actor” to bring a character to life, Spider-Woman, that her little cousins would be excited about.
“There’s no outcome I can control on a film like that, especially when I’m not a producer. You sign up for whatever happens and you take the ride,” she said.
This seems to track with what star Dakota Johnson was discussing when she reacted to the movie’s poor performance by calling out “filmmaking by committee.”
