MADAME WEB Star Sydney Sweeney Pokes Fun At Marvel Role During SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE Monologue

Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney turned heads while hosting last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, but the actress also made headlines for addressing Madame Web's box office struggles. Check it out!

Madame Web debuted to terrible reviews and even worse box office numbers last month, and with Dune: Part 2 now dominating theaters, Sony's latest Marvel movie has already been largely forgotten.

The week it was released, Marvel Studios announced The Fantastic Four cast and shared the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, quite possibly to draw eyes away from a blockbuster which feeds into the narrative of "superhero fatigue." Now, Madame Web's co-lead Sydney Sweeney, has jokingly disowned the movie. 

Sweeney hosted yesterday evening's Saturday Night Live and, during her monologue, introduced herself by saying, "You might have seen me in 'Anyone But You' or 'Euphoria' - you definitely did not see me in 'Madame Web.'"

Before Madame Web's release, the actress seemed legitimately excited to join the Marvel Universe and even pushed to recreate some comic-accurate poses on set. Unfortunately, while she was a highlight as Spider-Woman, the movie did her a disservice. 

Earlier this month, Sweeney also discussed the challenges of shooting Madame Web. "I had a wig so it was a whole other process. You have to wrap the wig, then glue the wig down, then style the wig," she explained. "And that wig was so hot we were filming in Boston in the middle of the summer."

"It was one of the hottest days and we were in the middle of filming and I go, ‘One second’, and I turn around and I just started throwing up and then I turn back and I go, 'We’re all good we can keep going.' I was overheating, my body was shutting down, but I was great. The wig added a lot of interesting elements."

This weekend, Madame Web grossed only $5 million overseas, taking its global total to a disappointing $91 million. 

Check out Sweeney's SNL monologue below.

Meanwhile, in another universe...In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing's most enigmatic heroines.

The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures...if they can all survive a deadly present.

The movie stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Madame Web is now playing in theaters worldwide.

Don't even care about reading the article.
Just from the pic above, Sweeney would be a perfect hOOters girl. Hopefully this film will down her career so she needs a job at the best wing-place everywhere:

@lazlodaytona - if she keeps making movies like Madame Web, maybe you’ll get your wish.

Nice to see a cast that doesnt take it up the ass and doesnt blame audiences (although the cult of snyder was passing around a fake quote from Isabella Mercer)

@dracula - yeah. Think it's pretty funny how they're taking aim at the movie and the filming itself (but it does kinda suck for the director, who seemed like a real fan)

She is looking mighty fine in that image/video.

Sign her up for another Superhero role.

@marvel72 - a role like Black Cat? I know people wanna see her as Hardy, but I kinda wanna see her sign up for Silver Sable instead
marvel72
marvel72 - 3/3/2024, 5:15 PM
@bkmeijer1 - both of them are great choices.

@WhateverItTakes - Those boobies will take her to the top.

But all that hair and make-up and they still can't do anything about her face. Not that anyone's actually looking at her face.

Her attempts at irony are as bad as the projects she takes on.

Also, Euphoria seems like the most degenerate piece of crap ever.

I’ll watch a spider woman movie with her.

@slickrickdesigns - Me too. Oh wait. You meant a movie with her playing Spider-Woman. I meant that I’d watch a Spider-Woman movie with her sitting next to me or any movie for that matter.

OK, I couldn’t resist the cheap joke. I am way too old for her, but I had to run with what little humor I had for the comment.
