Directed by David Michod, this film is currently in production. Christy Martin’s story is both inspiring and harrowing; she was a professional boxer from 1989 to 2012 and survived an attempted murder by her husband, James Martin, who will be portrayed by Ben Foster. The cast also features Merritt Weaver, Katy O’Brien, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad L. Coleman, and Tony Cavalero.

As expected from Sweeney’s projects, reactions online have been quite varied. While some fans are enamored with her new look, others have expressed their peculiar opinions about it, showcasing a wide array of emotions as she takes on the role of Christy Martin.

Overall, the feedback has been predominantly enthusiastic. Fans are eager to witness Sweeney flex her acting skills, and many have responded with humorous memes.

Fans Are Ecstatic

It was refreshing to see that the general reaction to the initial images was overwhelmingly positive. Many fans expressed their delight in seeing Sweeney seemingly breaking away from typecasting and revealing a new facet of her talent in this film.

For numerous fans, this serves as a triumph for the “muscle mommies.”

One particularly amusing observation noted how those who typically glorify Sweeney as the ideal female figure will now need to reconcile this more muscular version of her.

This is so ironic because all those weirdo incels who complain about women looking masculine, love Sydney and use her as an example of how women “should” look in their eyes. Now she has put on a few pounds of muscle and looks closer to the type of women they hate? https://t.co/I7kprhmmQ9

Taking on a role like this has the potential to elevate Sweeney’s career significantly. We’ve watched her portray various characters, from teenagers to love interests and even religious figures. However, delving into the life of a real individual and bringing Martin’s compelling narrative to the screen promises to be an exhilarating experience. Although, the return of 90s mullets could be a bit much for some of us.

While we await further updates on Sweeney’s portrayal of Martin, one thing is clear: she can definitely pull off a brunette, curly mullet!
