Sydney Sweeney doesnt seem to be bothered by the less-than-super response to Madame Web .

The Immaculate star, who appears as Julia Cornwall in the superhero film, weighed in on the backlash to the critically panned movie that flopped at the box office, became the subject of memes and was included in jokes by John Mulaney and Jimmy Kimmel during Sundays Academy Awards.

Sweeney, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times , explained why shes unfazed by the intense reaction to the film based on the Marvel Comics character.

I was just hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen, Sweeney said.

The remarks arrive after she looped in a reference to the movie during her Saturday Night Live opening monologue earlier this month.

You might have seen me in Anyone But You or Euphoria. You definitely did not see me in Madame Web, she quipped.

Dakota Johnson, Sweeneys Madame Web co-star, recently told Bustle that she isnt surprised by how the reactions to the film went down.

I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I dont make sense in that world. And I know that now, she said of the movie.

She continued, But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and its one thing and then as youre making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and youre like, Wait, what? But it was a real learning experience, and of course its not nice to be a part of something thats ripped to shreds, but I cant say that I dont understand.
