Emmy nominated “Euphoria”/”White Lotus” actress Sydney Sweeney, currently filming the Sony/Marvel Studios feature “Madame Web”, has now been cast as “Barbarella” in a new feature based on the French comic strip heroine created by Jean-Claude Forest:

‘Barbarella’ is a young woman who travels from planet to planet and has numerous adventures…

….often involving sex.

The aliens she meets often seduce her…

…and she also experiments with a ‘machine excessive’ or ‘orgasmotron’.

The original comic book version of ‘Barbarella’ was modeled on French actress Brigitte Bardot…

…and Jane Fonda starred in a spoof feature, directed by her husband Roger Vadim.
