Entertainment Weekly reports Sweeney shot a short scene intended to appear near the start of the sequel, playing herself as a celebrity client of Emily Blunt’s Dior executive, Emily Charlton. A source says the sequence was removed during post-production as a creative choice. PEOPLE confirms Sweeney does not appear in the released film, and Disney offered no comment.
Last August photographers captured Sweeney leaving a trailer with Blunt, sparking speculation. Writer Aline Brosh McKenna later addressed set photos, explaining there were many onlookers and jokes about who might actually be in the movie, and ultimately noting Sweeney is not in the finished cut.
