Sydney Sweeney has had multiple releases this year and has become Hollywood’s newest ‘it girl’. While she closed off last year with her successful romantic comedyAnyone But You, she had a rocky start this year withMadame Web, which was followed by the horror filmImmaculate. She is awaiting the release of her Ron Howard filmEden.
While her stint with Marvel seemed to have flunked withMadame Web, the nature of the multiverse lets her have a second chance. Fans have been campaigning for the actress to be cast as Felicia Hardy, a.k.a Black Cat, in Tom Holland’s upcomingSpider-Man 4. However, the franchise is rumored to be eyeing someone else for the role.
Did Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4Just Cast Its Black Cat?
Tom Hollandwas last seen in the MCU inSpider-Man: No Way Home, which saw all three of the live-action Spider-Men unite for the first time on screen. At the end of the film, Parker tells Doctor Strange to use a spell that makes everyone forget who Peter Parker is, thus sending the multiversal villains back to their dimensions.

However, this also results in him losing all his friends and his life before the spell, and fans see him start a new life as Spider-Man. Many believed that with Zendaya’s MJ now unaware of who he is and that romance as good as dead, it might be time for the MCU to introduce a new love interest from the comics, with Felicia Hardy a.k.a Black Cat being a top contender.
Now, it is rumored that Marvel may have found its Black Cat inStranger Thingsstar Madelyn Cline forSpider-Man 4. The actress is known for her role in Netflix’sOuter Banksand was also seen in Rian Johnson’sGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

While it has not been confirmed that Cline will be appearing inSpider-Man 4, fans seem to have another actress in mind for the role of Black Cat.
Will Sydney Sweeney Get A Chance To Be In The MCU?
The role of Felicia Hardy has been played in live-action once by Felicity Jones inThe Amazing Spider-Man 2. While she does not become her superhero alter ego Black Cat in the Andrew Garfield-starrer, she was reportedly touted to have a much larger role in the sequel before it was ultimately canceled (viaDen of Geek).
However, beforeStranger Things’ Madelyn Cline became allegedly attached to the role inSpider-Man 4, current ‘it girl’Sydney Sweeneywas rumored to have been offered the role. According toComic Book Movie, Sweeney was rumored to be offered the role despite her bad luck with Sony’sMadame Web, where she played Julia Cornwall.

Sweeney played Spider-Woman, or at least a version of her in the Sony-produced disasterMadame Web. While the lackluster response to the film may have eliminated any chance of a sequel, fans have campaigned for Sweeney to jump ship and come to the MCU.
Awful source but she could be a good casting for the role
I’ll play along with your idea here…fine be me! What a time for Peter Parker!
lol just completely act like her other character doesn’t exist? Or exists on another earth as a Spider Woman? Or Girl? I don’t remember or care lol Black Cat is a much better fit for her, and I wanna see Peter see that he can still fall for someone who… “kinda” does what he does

The actress mentioned toComic Bookthat she would return if she were to share the screen in Zendaya. She said,
Oh, my God, yeah, that’d be so cool.
However, with Madelyn Cline’s rumored casting, it may not be time for Sydney Sweeney to join the MCU just yet, although it would be a terrible missed opportunity for Marvel.
