That has also been rampantly used by filmmakers, which led to her being cast in stereotypical roles.
However, it's set to change, as the actress will now take on the role of the legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic by David MichôdSydney Sweeney looks fierce as Christy Martin!

Sydney Sweeney may be the perfect fit for Christy Martin's biopic
Not only is casting Sydney Sweeney in the role a bold choice, but it is also apt as the actress has a history with boxing and MMA. Sweeney is a huge fan of the sport and has been involved in some capacity with physical activities from a young age.
She reportedly did kickboxing from the age of 12 till she was 19. She even spoke about this to Deadline, hinting how this would help her take on the role of the boxing star. Speaking about taking this role, Sweeney said:
"I grappled and did kickboxing from 12-19 years old. I’ve been itching to get back into the ring, train, and transform my body. Christy’s story isn’t a light one, it’s physically and emotionally demanding, there’s a lot of weight to carry. But I love challenging myself."
The first look of the movie seems to indicate that there's a huge chance of it being a hit and it may also become an Oscar favorite.
More details about the Christy Martin biopic are expected to arrive soon.
