Sydney Sweeney portrays Christy Martin in Christy, a biopic directed by David Michôd. The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 4 and will open nationwide in U.S. theaters on November 7, 2025. Christy will serve as the inaugural U.S. theatrical release for Black Bear's new distribution arm. The production highlights Sweeney's physical transformation, Michôd's direction, and an electric supporting turn from Ben Foster. TIFF images showed Sweeney with short, dark, shaggy hair in boxing gear, provoking strong social media reaction. Christy Martin won 49 of 59 bouts, 31 by knockout, and helped put women's boxing on the map.
"We're thrilled about the upcoming release of Christy, a moving portrait of resilience and defiance from visionary filmmaker David Michôd," said Benjamin Kramer, Black Bear president of US distribution. "Led by Sydney Sweeney's masterful transformation into the iconic Christy, capturing a young woman's fierce determination to define her own destiny, the film is elevated by Michôd's elegant direction and enriched by an electric supporting turn from Ben Foster. Both tender and unflinching, Christy is a celebration of persistence, humor, and humanity in the face of unexpected turns."
