Sydney Sweeney could be a pretty good Blonde Phantom.

Sydney Sweeney is one of the most sought-after actresses in today’s time. With her beauty, charm, and powerful performances, the young actress has managed to wow critics and fans alike. From her dramatic roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus to becoming a rom-com lead in Anyone But You to then giving a chilling performance in the horror thriller Immaculate, the actress is making leaps in her career.

Sweeney also made her superhero debut with Sony’s Madame Web earlier this year. The movie was a massive flop, and her journey as Spider-Woman /Julia Carpenter seems to have ended before it could even begin. But if recent rumors are true, then it is not the end of the road for Sweeney in the superhero realm.

Sydney Sweeney Might Join The MCU Soon

While she has already made her superhero debut with Madame Web, looks like it’s time for Sydney Sweeney to officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to industry scooper MyTimeToShineHello, rumors abound about Sweeney joining the MCU soon. And there are a few roles she could be cast into, with some being more realistic options than others.

Before she was revealed to be playing Spider-Woman in the SSU, fans were eager to see her in the role of Black Cat. The character of Felicia Hardy is pretty interesting, and the actress could become part of Tom Holland’s future Spider-Man projects with this role. But this is not the only character that Sydney Sweeney could play in the MCU.

Another recent rumor from MyTimeToShineHello has revealed a potential Disney+ show in production based on the character of Blonde Phantom, and who better than the Euphoria actress to take on the role? While this is not the character most people would have imagined her to be playing, it could be the very best option Marvel Studios have on their hands. If you ask us, Sweeney playing a femme fatale in a red gown with a high side slit and a mask, and fighting criminals in the dark of the night, could become the next big thing. And she would surely do justice to the role.

Who Is Blonde Phantom?

Created by Stan Lee and Syd Shores, the character of Blonde Phantom made her debut in All Select Comics #11 back in 1946. She has been a part of the Marvel world since the Golden Age of Comics and has had a few iterations with time. Working as a secretary to a detective by day and a crime-fighting vigilante by night, Louise Grant transforms into Blonde Phantom to help her boss solve cases and save him from dangerous situations.

Her story in the older comics is pretty similar to DC Comics’ Superman/Clark Kent trope. In a gender-reversed manner, Blonde Phantom is the superhero, who saves Mark Mason, her boss and the object of her affection, and someone she is in love with. But similar to the Lois Lane/Superman story from the initial days, Mason only has eyes for Blonde Phantom, but no affection for Louisa, his secretary.

In the Modern Age comics, Louisa becomes Louise Grant Mason after marrying Mark Mason and has left her crime-fighting days behind. But after her husband’s death, she joins as a legal secretary to Blake Tower and Jennifer Walker, aka She-Hulk. We have already had a She-Hulk show, so adding a Blonde Phantom to the mix won’t be too far-fetched. Sydney Sweeney could be the perfect fit for the role and give us some grounded stories with a hint of humor and a lot of action.
