Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s Anyone But You brought back the rom-com era that everyone thought had long passed. The movie broke records and soon became a high-grossing frontrunner at the box office. Powell’s next blockbuster came with Daisy Edgar-Jones as the co-lead in Twisters.
The news of Sweeney starring opposite Johnny Depp in Day Drinker had been making the rounds on the internet for quite some time. Fans were intrigued by this fresh pairing that could bring new energy to the big screen.
Sydney Sweeney is not starring in Johnny Depp’s Day Drinker
While fans were rallying for the new-age actress Sydney Sweeney to star in Day Drinker, the news has been debunked as another actress is reportedly in the running to star alongside Johnny Depp. An insider on X claimed that Twisters and Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones is in talks with the creators to star in Day Drinker.
Sweeney denied the rumors of her casting in Day Drinker as she posted on X that she is not a part of that movie. Furthermore, the actress is busy promoting her film Immaculate, which marks her foray into the horror movie genre. On the other hand, Edgar-Jones also seems like a great choice to play a role opposite Depp.
The project was announced earlier, but no further details have been divulged regarding the cast and crew. Marc Webb has reportedly been tapped into directing the flick. Day Drinker seems to be a supernatural thriller that follows the bond between a stranger and a bartender. There has been no official confirmation about Edgar-Jones’ involvement in Day Drinker.
The actress has had a great run at the box office with Twisters earning a whopping sum of $369 Million. Glen Powell and Edgar-Jones’ chemistry has been the talk of the town ever since it was released. But then again, Powell’s charisma is complemented by almost every actress he works with, making him one of the most sought-after actors of today.
Sydney Sweeney wanted to be drenched in blood for Immaculate
It feels like there is nothing Sweeney cannot do. She is setting herself apart from other actresses of modern times with diverse roles that test her skills and pull her out of her comfort zone. Even with her latest horror flick Immaculate, Sweeney had a bizarre request for the makers. According to Entertainment Weekly, she said,
My big thing was, by the end of the movie, I just wanted to be drenched in blood. I love those moments where, at the end of the film, you have the female badass that just went through the wringer and takes it all at the end.
Who knew Sweeney was a big gore fan? Nevertheless, the movie has gotten mostly positive reviews with a 71% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If not Day Drinker, then fans will have to sit tight to see what Sweeney plans to do next.
Immaculate is streaming on Prime Video.
