Sydney Sweeney Presents America Among Superheroes

• The film 'America' will be released in limited theaters on September 15, 2025.
• Sydney Sweeney has faced criticism over an advertisement that sparked calls to boycott the film.
• Reviews for 'America' range from positive to negative, with mixed ratings.

Sydney Sweeney is set to hit the screens with the new film America, which will be released in limited theaters on September 15, 2025. This dark comedy, written and directed by Toni Tost, tells the story of a Native American relic and the conflicts between different groups vying to obtain it.

In the film, Sweeney plays a secret agent Penny Jo Poplin, who is fighting for her career in music. Alongside veteran actor, Paul Walter Hauser, she aims to acquire an artifact that is being sold on the black market. Reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes are mostly positive, with a rating of 83% based on 18 reviews.

However, the film's release is being overshadowed by a new wave of superhero movies. Sweeney has already faced criticism over an advertisement for American Eagle, which prompted accusations of racism and objectification. This situation has led to calls for a boycott of Americans, which may impact the film's box office earnings.

At the same time, some critics praise the film for its plot and dynamism, while others find it dull and lacking in innovation. The boycott situation reflects a broader polarization of opinions regarding Sweeney and her work.

The film, which also features Halsey and Simon Rex, was previously showcased at South by Southwest in 2023. Sweeney did not comment on the scandal during the film's promotion, but her career and growing popularity may still be affected by this controversy surrounding the superhero genre.
