Perhaps the funniest part of this whole ordeal — considering that the spider clearly wasn’t poisonous and that Sydney Sweeney lived to tell the tale — is that she was specifically bitten by a spider. See, the actress’ next high-profile project is the Sony film “Madame Web,” in which Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra Webb, a medical worker who turns into a psychic superhero. Sweeney co-stars as Julia Carpenter in the movie, who later does become Spider-Woman — a fact that the crew of “Anyone But You” unknowingly guessed correctly while making a joke.
During the “Tonight Show” interview, Jimmy Fallon produced a real report from the romantic comedy’s on-set medic, which simply read, “First aid — Sydney Sweeney (Cast Department) bitten by spider, now Spider-Woman.” This would be hilarious enough if they even knew she’d been cast in “Madame Web,” but according to Sweeney, that information wasn’t even public yet. “At that time, they had no idea about ‘Madame Web,'” Sweeney revealed. “They had no idea. So I saw that and I said, ‘Oooooh!'”
