Sydney Sweeney levels up with lead role in Split Fiction

Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney is officially taking her talents into new dimensions—literally. The Euphoria and Anyone But You actress is set to headline the upcoming film adaptation of the hit video game Split Fiction, bringing her signature blend of intensity and charisma to the gaming world.

And she’s not going alone—Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu is set to helm the high-octane project, promising a cinematic ride that’s equal parts thrilling and imaginative.

According to Variety, the script for the film is in the capable hands of Deadpool & Wolverine screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, meaning fans can expect razor-sharp dialogue, explosive action, and likely a few cheeky fourth-wall breaks. The film will be produced under Mike Goldberg and Dmitri M. Johnson’s newly rebranded production company, Story Kitchen (formerly dj2 Entertainment), alongside Chu’s Electric Somewhere.

Sydney Sweeney, however, isn’t just front and center on screen—she’s also stepping into the role of executive producer, further cementing her influence behind the scenes. This marks another impressive move in Sweeney’s fast-rising career, as she continues to diversify her creative portfolio.

Based on the wildly popular co-op adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts, Split Fiction weaves together fantasy and sci-fi elements in a narrative where two authors—Mio and Zoe—find themselves trapped inside the fictional worlds they created. The game’s inventive split-screen mechanics and emotionally driven storytelling earned it both commercial success and critical acclaim.

While it remains to be seen whether Sydney Sweeney will portray Mio or Zoe, the internet is already buzzing with fan theories and casting predictions. Given her dynamic acting range and growing fanbase, either role promises to be a showstopper.

Since its release on March 6, Split Fiction has sold over two million copies in just one week, fueling the hype surrounding the film. And with Sydney Sweeney attached, the adaptation is already shaping up to be a major cinematic event.

From HBO to Hollywood to now the multiverse, Sydney Sweeney continues to redefine what it means to be a modern star.
