When asked what happened next the actress said “The thing just starts biting me,” she continued by explaining that the team had assumed she might be acting as her scream became more intense, but they were unaware that it was genuinely severe. “But we’re in the middle of the scene, and I’m supposed to be screaming. But then my screaming got a little serious.”
“They thought I was making really serious dramatic choices in a rom-com. It was terrible. So no one cut. So I'm just standing there with this spider on my arm, biting me, and I'm screaming, and just everyone's watching." She added.
Luckily, Glen saw what was really going on and intervened to aid. Sydney's injuries were treated by the team medic, who made the hilarious remark that she had become Spider-Woman as a result of the bite. “That was, like, a soul scream. I thought I was gonna die. Well, I was like, ‘It's poisonous. I'm gonna die.’”
