From her captivating roles in high-profile projects like Euphoria, to vocal appearances in Family Guy, Sydney Sweeney, 28, seems to have Hollywood at her feet. With a staggering lineup of eight upcoming projects on IMDb, she’s undoubtedly keeping busy. Her ever-growing presence across film and TV has made her a hot topic in Tinseltown.
However, those looking forward to seeing her in the much-anticipated sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 – set to hit theaters on May 1 – might be disappointed. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sweeney's brief cameo has been nixed from the movie. She was originally slated to appear in a short scene playing a fictionalized version of herself.
The scene, reportedly just three minutes long, would have been a nod to Emily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, by showcasing her fashion prowess as she assists Sweeney with a stylish ensemble. Unfortunately, it seems the segment didn't gel with the film's opening sequence and ended up on the cutting room floor.
“Not every role fits, and that’s just part of the creative process,” a film insider noted regarding the decision.
Some suggest that Sweeney's daring work on Euphoria, where she portrays an OnlyFans model involved in controversial scenarios, might not align with the PG-13 vibe of a comedy starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Her name has also been caught up in cultural debates online, bringing additional scrutiny.
The world, however, hasn't seen the last of this scene. Cinephiles might catch a glimpse of Sweeney's cameo in special features after The Devil Wears Prada 2 wraps its theater run. Or perhaps it could surface as a coveted extra in the film's DVD release.
As technology advances, who knows? We might see Sydney Sweeney seamlessly integrated into classics, including the original Devil Wears Prada.
