For her starring role in the upcoming Paul Feig-directed adaptation of The Housemaid, Sweeney is being paid a $7.5 million salary, a massive boost for the 27-year-old A-list actress.
The Housemaid is just one of many projects that Sweeney has in the works in the coming years, which we’ll break down below.

The Housemaid
Sweeney will star in Paul Feig’s The Housemaid alongside Amanda Seyfried. Released in 2022 (the novel, that is), The Housemaid follows Millie (Sweeney), a struggling woman who gets a fresh start as a housemaid to a wealthy upper-class couple (one of whom will be played by Seyfried), only to soon learn that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.
Anyone But You sequel
Sony Pictures
While nothing official has been announced, both Sweeney and Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell have expressed a desire to make a sequel (and work on other projects together). Given the business that the first film did, the studio, Sony Pictures, is likely exploring a potential follow-up as we speak.
