Actress Sydney Sweeney is one of the most sought-after talents in Hollywood, thanks to some of her recent commercially successful movies. However, Sweeney faced a significant career setback with her foray into the superhero genre in the form of 2024’s ill-fatedMadame Web.
Despite her previous experience as a Marvel character, Sweeney is reportedly in talks to appear in the upcomingSpider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland, in a brand new role. However, Sweeney’s rumored new MCU role means that oneStar Warsactress might lose out on her aspiration of playing the same character,and here is everything you need to know about it.
Sydney Sweeney Rumored For Black Cat Role inSpider-Man 4AfterMadame WebFailure
Sydney Sweeneyappeared as the Julia Cornwall iteration of Spider-Woman in 2024’sMadame Web. The film is set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe and does not have direct ties with the MCU. It received mostly negative reviews and bombed at the box office, becoming one of the few failures in Sweeney’s career.

A fourth film in the commercially successful Holland-ledSpider-Manfilms wasrevealedto be in development in February 2023.

The character of Felicia Hardy / Black Cat regularly appears alongside Spider-Man in the pages of Marvel Comics. However, on the film side of things, the character hasreceived little recognition. While Felicity Jones appeared as Hardy inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2, she never got to embrace the Black Cat persona.
I’d love to play her again. She’s a great character.
Jones made the above statement (viaCinemaBlend), expressing a desire to reprise the role of Hardy in the MCU.
The actress is arguably best known for her role as Jyn Erso inRogue One: A Star Wars Story. However, her stint as Hardy is little known because the character never suited up as the more recognizable Black Cat. Therefore, Jones’ desire to reprise the role is understandable.

Despite interest from Jones, it does not seem like Marvel Studios is on board with the idea. If the rumors of Sweeney being offered the role of Black Cat are true, the MCU seems to be heading in a completely different direction. Nonetheless, since Jones’TSAM 2co-star Andrew Garfield returned as Spider-Man fairly recently, there could still be hope for her as well.
