If it sounds like Sydney Sweeney was perhaps too professional while obviously suffering from a serious health situation during filming, her “Madame Web” co-stars agreed. She stars alongside the movie’s lead, Dakota Johnson, as well as Celeste O’Connor and Isabela Merced, who play Mattie Franklin and Anya Corazon, respectively. (Sweeney’s character, Julia Cornwall, fills out the trio of future Spider-heroines.)
O’Connor and Merced were also present for this interview, and the former said that despite Sweeney’s protestations, they were more than willing to take a minute and make sure their colleague was okay. “And we were like, ‘no we’re not just going to roll right now,’ but you were ready to rock and roll,” she said.
Merced agreed, going so far as to say, “Somehow she made throwing up professional.” Sweeney is nothing if not a determined actress, and clearly, she gave everything she had to “Madame Web.” It’s too bad the film didn’t return the favor.
