We already know that Sydney Sweeney is joining the upcoming Madame Web film. But what was it about her role in the Spider-Man spin-off that was so irresistible to the Euphoria star? Sweeney has just admitted that she had always been a fan of Marvel films, stating that she grew up watching these movies!

Sydney Sweeney recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter where she was asked what drew her to the project. Not surprisingly, the Handmaid's Tale actress confessed that she had always loved Marvel films.

"Oh my goodness. I grew up watching Marvel movies and superheroes are just the coolest thing ever. So I just dreamt of being able to be a part of something bigger than life itself. And that's what I feel like I'm getting to be a part of with Madame Web," Sweeney said.

It's not exactly a huge surprise that Sweeney is so eager to work on Madame Web and become a part of a major Marvel film. Still, she previously admitted that she still has a lot to learn and is already preparing for the role with a ton of "research."

“I've been ordering a bunch of comic books. There’s a lot to learn. I’ve always been a really big fan of all of the Marvel and Sony Universe movies. I’ve grown up watching them all and I’ve been engulfed in the entire world my entire life, so being able to be a part of that is such an incredible, incredible thing,” Sweeney said.

For now, Sweeney's role in Madame Web has not yet been announced. However, there are speculations that she has been cast as the new live-action version of Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Gwen.

Madame Web will also star Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson. The film has not yet been given an official release date.
