Sydney Sweeney has left fans stunned after showing off her new look for an upcoming role.

Although Sweeney has taken on a range of roles over her career, from Euphoria and The White Lotus to the horror movie Immaculate, fans of the 27-year-old are usually able to spot her pretty quickly.

The actor's recognizable long blond hair is typically a giveaway, but she doesn't even have that in new photos from her upcoming movie.

Sweeney's newest project doesn't actually have a title yet, but that hasn't stopped the actor from getting stuck in as she takes on the role of Christy Martin.

Boxing fans will likely know the name - Martin is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009, and who is set to be the subject of Sweeney's new movie.

Images taken from the set in North Carolina show Sweeney fully in character, with her long blond hair replaced with dark brown curls.

Far from the bikinis and figure-hugging dresses from Anyone But You, Sweeney appears to be in sweat pants and a tank top, with bulging biceps to complete the look.

Other photos show the actor's hair being held back by a bandana, while another look shows her dressed in a baggy sweatshirt and white sneakers.

Fans of the actor have been left stunned by her transformation, with many expressing their excitement for the upcoming movie.

"Wow... What a transformation by Sydney Sweeney for this role. Can't wait to see it," one person wrote on Twitter.

Another added: "Looks entirely different!! Super excited for Sydney and curios to see how she will do in a biopic type role."

"Didn’t even recognize her at first!!," wrote a third.

Other viewers can't help but point out how much muscle Sweeney appears to have gained for the role, with one commenting: "Yo she getting buff, hell yea! Hype…"

"She’s got some biceps," added another.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting involved in a movie, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she's a 'very hands-on collaborator'.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process," she said.

Sweeney continued: "It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

Sweeney's new project is being directed by David Michôd, and is set to document the true story of Martin’s rise to her position as the most well-known female boxer in the US.
