Sydney Sweeney Has Been Cut From Long Awaited Comedy Sequel

Thanks to projects such as Euphoria, The Housemaid, and Christy, Sydney Sweeney seems to be everywhere. The 28-year-old actress has rapidly become one of the most talked-about stars in all of Hollywood, appearing in everything from controversial American Eagle advertisements, to Madame Web, and even Family Guy. Sweeney currently has eight upcoming projects listed on IMDb, with an untold number of floating contracts looming to keep her busy for the foreseeable future.

If you’ve found yourself wondering if there’s anywhere she won’t be featured, you’ll have to turn your attention to The Devil Wears Prada 2, which releases in theaters May 1. Thanks to a write-up in The Hollywood Reporter, we can say for certain that Sydney Sweeney won’t appear in the legacy sequel, as her cameo has been removed from the final cut of the film. Apparently, the Euphoria head-turner was supposed to appear in a brief role, portraying a fictionalized version of herself.

Not The Right Outfit For The Audience

Per reports, the Sydney Sweeney cameo would only last for about three minutes, and it would help to reestablish Emily Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton. During the scene, Emily would assist Sweeney with an outfit, which would highlight how prolific the clothing designer’s work is within Hollywood circles. According to THR, the scene simply didn’t mesh well with the rest of the intro, so it’s been left on the cutting room floor.

The move might be for the best, all things considered, since Sydney Sweeney’s name isn’t exactly drawing the most family-friendly headlines at the moment. Her work on Euphoria, portraying an OnlyFans model who eats out of a dog bowl and engages in other highly NSFW fetish content, doesn’t exactly gel with a PG-13 family comedy starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Likewise, Sweeney has found herself at the center of an online culture war, as every move she makes seems to become politicized in some way.

Maybe constant scrutiny from the public is just one of the major downsides to global fame. Even still, we’ll likely see the cut cameo floating around on the web after The Devil Wears Prada 2 concludes its theater run. As an absolute worst-case scenario, we can probably still find it in the DVD special features once physical media for the film releases. By then, AI may become so advanced that Sydney Sweeney can appear in every single movie, including those made decades in the past, like the original Devil Wears Prada.
