Fan casting is common when it comes to superheroes, but sometimes the internet comes up with a choice that’s so unexpected, strangely fitting, and perfectly timed for online discussion that it feels unreal. The latest example is a popular piece of fan art showing Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in Euphoria (streaming on HBO Max), as DC’s Power Girl. As you might expect, people online have very strong opinions about it.
Fan Art Imagines Sydney Sweeney As Power Girl
Concept artist 21Xfour recently shared a fan-made image on X showing Jenna Ortega as Power Girl. The artwork reimagines Ortega in Power Girl’s iconic look – a red cape and white suit, complete with a classic, confident attitude. Though not officially connected to Warner Bros. or the new DC Universe films – the artist made that clear – it’s part of the popular trend of fans imagining different actors in beloved roles. Surprisingly, the image works really well and has quickly gained attention within comic book fan circles.
The design shows Sweeney reimagined in Power Girl’s classic style—with a platinum blonde bob, blue gloves, and the famous chest opening—and looks incredibly realistic. The accompanying text, “I’m not a woman you want to mess with,” perfectly captures the character’s bold and confident personality.
The image is part of a project designed to offer a new and creative take on beloved characters, and it certainly captured attention – whether through the hairstyle, the actor chosen, or the outfit. Fan reactions have been strong, ranging from excited approval to complete and utter disagreement. Here’s a look at what people are saying.
Here’s How Fans Are Reacting
Okay, so this ‘what if’ scenario… it had its ups and downs, for sure. But let me tell you about the good stuff first – the things that really worked for me as a movie fan.
- “God damn. I need it.” – @SlothenKing
- “Makes sense to me!.” – @_EpicCreations_
- “Goddamn You Cooked.. She’s Perfect” – @IbrahimFish25
- “I have to agree that this concept makes sense to me too. Really hadn’t thought about this, though. Cos I was quite focused on Supergirl.” – @jumalisg
- “F’N A.” – @blssdblkwngs
- “This is cool!” – @Hans_Karl
Lots of people shared amusing memes with clapping hands to show their support for the fan casting choices, but not everyone was thrilled. Here are some of the less enthusiastic responses we found:
- “Overrated shit actress when in truth she’s a mess.” – @LamandAlexandre
- “Not Sydney Sweeney, her entire personality is literally talking about her boobs.” – @Mr_J300
- “I just love the idea that she uses her cleavage to gain a millisecond advantage over other superspeed characters and has a punch that can send you into orbit. It makes her the meanest calculating superhero of the bunch.” – @JustinBrowsin
- “Are you guys addicted to this clown?” – @rio_ser03
- “Concept and designed by you? Lols it’s AI 🤣🤣” – @natraveeen
Power Girl, whose real name is Kara Zor-L, is DC Comics’ version of Supergirl from an alternate universe. She first appeared in a comic book in 1976 and comes from Earth-Two, a parallel world where she’s the cousin of that world’s Superman. Like Supergirl, she escaped the planet Krypton as a baby, but her journey to Earth was delayed, meaning she arrived later. Over time, Power Girl has become known for her strong personality, confident attitude, and a memorable – though sometimes debated – costume.
As usual, the post went viral, now with over 45,800 views, and it’s reignited the debate about Power Girl. This timing is interesting because the new Supergirl movie is scheduled to come out next summer in 2026. Regardless of whether you think Sydney Sweeney could play the role well—I personally think she could—everyone agrees she looks fantastic in the classic costume.
It’s important to remember this is all just wishful thinking from fans. Currently, Milly Alcock is the only Supergirl planned for the DC Universe, and we’ll see her in the classic costume when the Supergirl movie comes out on June 26, 2026.
