Sydney Sweeney, currently favored among male fans for her distinct appeal, appears to be leveraging this popularity to broaden her reach with female audiences through new film opportunities. Recent speculation suggests Sweeney is involved with the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a strategic move expected to enhance her appeal among women.
Possible Role in The Devil Wears Prada Sequel
Rumors circulating on social media platform X indicate Sydney Sweeney has been filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2, although this has yet to receive official confirmation. The sequel features the return of renowned actors Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, along with newcomers Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux, who are likely to occupy the primary focus of the film. Sweeney’s role, if confirmed, may be more supporting than central.
Strategic Career Choice to Balance Fan Demographics
The move to join a franchise beloved by many women would mark a savvy career step for Sweeney, who is currently beloved by male fans but perceived as less popular among women. Although some women express dislike for her, the success of her American Eagle jeans campaign, heavily targeted at women, suggests that private support among female consumers may be stronger than vocal opinions imply.
Joining The Devil Wears Prada sequel could serve as a crucial turning point, potentially shifting female perception positively without diminishing her male fan base, especially if she continues to maintain her characteristic style and presence. This dual appeal could allow Sweeney to engage both major audience segments effectively.
Alignment with Previous Work and Future Potential
Her inclusion in a sequel largely favored by women aligns closely with the audience profile of most of her previous projects, which mostly targeted female viewers. Outside of acting, her advertising work has been aimed at appealing to male demographics, demonstrating a dual-market approach. Her direct-to-streaming romantic comedy Anyone But You, released last year, found success on Netflix and was seen as positioning her as a potential successor to Julia Roberts, though it did not fully win over the female audience.
If Sydney Sweeney aims to emulate an iconic figure like Marilyn Monroe, adored equally by men and women, this calculated career choice could be pivotal. Without such strategic moves, her trajectory might resemble that of Megan Fox, differentiated primarily by acting refinement.
