1. Black Cat (Felicia Hardy)
Felicia Hardy, also known as Black Cat, is far more than just a charming thief. She’s a complex anti-hero who walks a tightrope between good and bad. Sweeney’s versatility in comedy and her shrewdness as an actress would best fit this character.
Even thinking about her being in a black catsuit fighting alongside Spider-Man and cracking jokes, is exciting. Moreover, Sweeney might offer new ideas to Black Cat, which would make her a superb choice for fans who appreciate the heroine’s charming personality paired with measured risk-taking.
2. Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen)
Peter Parker’s classmate and occasional love interest in the comics, Gwen Stacy takes on the mantle of Spider-Woman in alternate universes. This Gwen transcends the role of the damsel in distress. She’s a scientist and she does not let any man intimidate her.
Also, Sweeney’s young spirited, and rebellious nature fits the character of Spider-Gwen who stands up for justice as a spider-woman. Moreover, Sweeney could capture Gwen’s intelligence, bravery, and independent spirit.
3. Siryn (Theresa Cassidy)
A mutant with the power to manipulate sound, Siryn is a member of the X-Men. She can create sonic blasts but, make illusions and even use sound to fly.
Sweeney’s ability to convey both vulnerability and strength would be ideal for Siryn who struggles to bear the burden of her powers and the prejudice mutants suffer. Moreover, with the X-Men joining the MCU soon, it may be a breakout character.

Sweeney’s portrayal could highlight the hidden depths and an air of icy control makes her a perfect fit for Emma Frost. Moreover, whether leading the X-Men or pursuing her own agenda, Sweeney’s Emma Frost would be a compelling addition to the MCU.

Moreover, her youthful charm and relatable personality would be a perfect fit for Kitty, who matures from a carefree teenager into a confident leader. Sydney can add a coming of age aspect to the story, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of a young mutant.
