1. Cole Sprouse’s Pivot to Crime Thrillers with Matthew McConaughey
Following the conclusion of his seven-season run as Jughead Jones on The CW’s Riverdale, Cole Sprouse has aggressively pursued diverse film roles to shed his teen-drama image. His most anticipated project for 2025 is the crime thriller, The Rivals of Amziah King.
The film, set in the wild riverways of present-day Oklahoma, stars Matthew McConaughey as the titular Amziah King, a beekeeper by day and bluegrass musician by night, whose livelihood is threatened by local rivals. Cole Sprouse is set to play a pivotal role in this Andrew Patterson-directed feature, marking a significant step into the gritty, independent film world and away from his previous romantic and fantasy-based projects like Five Feet Apart (2019) and Moonshot (2022). This move is a clear indication of Cole’s intention to be taken seriously as a versatile dramatic actor.
2. Dylan Sprouse: From Mead to Matrimony and Blockbusters
Dylan Sprouse has embraced a multi-faceted career that successfully blends acting, entrepreneurship, and a high-profile personal life. His 2024 and 2025 updates are dominated by two major aspects: his marriage and his continued success in the film series based on the popular "Beautiful" books.
The Barbara Palvin Wedding and Married Life: Dylan married Hungarian supermodel Barbara Palvin in a private ceremony in Hungary in July 2023, with details and interviews about their relationship still emerging throughout 2024. The couple, who have been together since 2018, remain one of Hollywood’s most beloved pairs, often collaborating on projects like their Spring 2025 campaign for Express, which Dylan himself photographed.
The Travis Maddox Saga: Dylan’s most prominent recent acting role is as the bad-boy-with-a-heart Travis Maddox in the film adaptations of the "Beautiful" book series, including Beautiful Disaster (2023) and Beautiful Wedding (2024), co-starring Virginia Gardner. His 2025 slate also includes the thriller Under Fire, further diversifying his filmography.
3. Cole’s New Role in the Groundbreaking Film ‘I Wish You All The Best’ (2025)
Another key 2025 release for Cole Sprouse is the coming-of-age drama I Wish You All The Best, directed by Tommy Dorfman. The film centers on a non-binary teen who is kicked out of their ultra-religious North Carolina home after coming out.
Cole plays Thomas, the English teacher husband of the teen's estranged sister, who takes the protagonist in. This role sees Cole supporting a powerful, contemporary narrative, working alongside a notable cast including Alexandra Daddario, Corey Fogelmanis, and Lena Dunham. His involvement in such a socially relevant project highlights his commitment to films that address modern, complex themes, continuing the character-driven work he started with Jughead Jones.
4. Dylan’s Continued Commitment to All-Wise Meadery
While his acting career is on the rise, Dylan Sprouse remains a dedicated entrepreneur and brewmaster. He is the co-owner of All-Wise Meadery, a craft brewery specializing in mead—an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the meadery is far more than a side project; it’s a passion that stems from his college studies and a genuine interest in the history and production of the ancient drink. Dylan's continued hands-on involvement in All-Wise Meadery in 2025 showcases his ability to maintain a successful, non-Hollywood business, offering a unique contrast to his twin's more traditional acting trajectory.
5. Cole Sprouse: The Life Behind the Lens as a Photographer
Cole Sprouse’s time at NYU studying Archaeological Photography was not just an academic detour; it was the foundation for a parallel professional career. In 2025, Cole continues to be an active and respected fashion and conceptual photographer, often exhibiting his work on his official website.
His photographic portfolio includes high-profile shoots for major publications, where he has captured the likenesses of celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and his former co-star Sophie Turner for *W Magazine*. Cole’s photography style is often described as moody and evocative, with a focus on portraiture and abandoned landscapes, a creative outlet that allows him to explore themes of space and public perception outside the confines of acting.
6. The End of an Era: Cole’s Final Bow in ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ (2024)
Before his major 2025 releases, Cole Sprouse starred in the 2024 horror-comedy *Lisa Frankenstein*, written by Diablo Cody. In the film, Cole played "The Creature," a Victorian-era corpse reanimated by a high school girl. This role provided a final, quirky transitional piece that allowed him to embrace a darker, more eccentric character before moving on to the serious dramatic roles of 2025. It also served as a final piece of his post-Riverdale deconstruction, embracing the strange and unexpected.
7. The Question of a Sprouse Bros On-Screen Reunion
The most persistent question for fans in 2025 remains whether Dylan and Cole will ever share the screen again. Both brothers have addressed the possibility, confirming that a joint project is "not off the table." However, they are highly selective, insisting that any reunion must be for a script that is meaningful and not simply a "gimmicky" exploitation of their twin status. The goal is to find a project that truly challenges them as individual actors, rather than relying on the nostalgia of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. While no specific joint project has been announced for 2025, the door remains open for a future collaboration that could redefine their shared legacy.
