Sydney Sweeney is getting ready for a unique movie part that’s a significant departure from roles she’s played in the past. Her preparation for the upcoming Christy Martin biopic is showing a stark contrast to her time on the show “Euphoria.

Since her role as the emotionally intense friend-rival Cassie Howard in Euphoria, Sweeney has become one of the most talked-about talents in the entertainment industry.

She’s demonstrated her versatility as an actress, from playing a privileged teenager in The White Lotus to a devout character in Immaculate, across various roles in different productions.

However, her upcoming role as the lead in David Michód’s unnamed Christy Martin biography could mark one of her most striking acting transformations thus far.
