Sydney Sweeney: “Barbarella”

Emmy nominated "Euphoria" actress Sydney Sweeney, currently co-starring in the Sony/Marvel Studios feature "Madame Web", has 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.

The Dynamite Entertainment title "Barbarella" #1 is written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Kenan Yarar, with covers by Kenneth Rocafort, Joe Jusko, Josephn Michael Linsner, Robert Hack, Annie Wu, Kenan Yarar, Valentine DeLandro, Veronica Fish and Roberto Castro.

"...Earth's star-crossed daughter is back! 

"When 'Barbarella' wanders into a war zone, the theocratic rulers of 'Parosia' arrest and imprison her. 

"A prison break is brewing…

“…but now that she knows what the Parosians do to their own citizens...

"...Barbarella decides to make this fight her own..."
