Internet Sings in Unison for Sydney Sweeney as This One Character for MCU Debut

Published 11/01/2025, 9:20 PM EDT

Sydney Sweeney has rapidly proven herself as a remarkably diverse actress, shifting from the emotionally raw Cassie Howard in Euphoria to the eerie, porcelain-smiled perfection of Immaculate with impressive ease. She can play vulnerable, unhinged, romantic, or terrifying, sometimes all within the same scene. Hollywood rarely finds an actress who can balance depth with star power, yet Sweeney manages both while keeping audiences thoroughly intrigued. Naturally, this versatility fuels fan fantasies about where she could shine next.

If Sydney Sweeney ever stepped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans appear to have already done the casting homework for Marvel Studios. In a rare moment of internet unity, viewers strongly champion one specific character as her destined debut. The name chanted across comment sections with suspicious harmony is Black Cat.

Black Cat, known as Felicia Hardy, is a morally complex, burglary-loving anti-heroine who moves through the Marvel universe with gymnastic grace and a smirk that says she already stole what you are looking for. Sweeney’s blend of charm, mischief, emotional intensity, and on-screen magnetism makes her a near-perfect match for Felicia Hardy’s allure. With her proven ability to portray layered women who are both dangerous and irresistible, fans may be justified in believing she could deliver the most compelling Black Cat to date.

The internet, which usually treats casting debates like a digital battleground, is purring in rare harmony over Sydney Sweeney’s ideal MCU debut.

The internet has already chosen Sydney Sweeney's MCU debut for her

The moment the hypothetical question surfaced online about which Marvel character Sydney Sweeney should portray, both Marvel Cinematic Universe loyalists and Sydney Sweeney admirers came sprinting into the chat as if late for a sale. Comment sections filled instantly with one name: Black Cat. With her knack for blending mischief and allure, not to mention those daring translucent red carpet ensembles, Sweeney appears to have been inadvertently auditioning for Felicia Hardy with every step.

Still, not all fans are content to see Sydney Sweeney confined to one feline-adjacent destiny. Admirers of Mystique argue that she could glide through emotional duplicity and moral ambiguity with artful restraint, while supporters of Mockingbird insist her sharp timing and controlled intensity would suit a world-class agent. The internet, never one to limit itself to a single fantasy, has created an entire Marvel casting buffet in her honour.

In the end, the discourse reveals more about Sweeney’s magnetic range than it does about the Marvel catalog itself. Few performers inspire audiences to passionately assign them three roles before lunch. Whether she someday slinks into Marvel as Black Cat, shape-shifts as Mystique, or brings spy swagger as Mockingbird, one truth remains. Sydney Sweeney entering the MCU would cause the type of joyful online meltdown the internet lives for.
