1. Cole Sprouse's Dramatic Shift to Crime Thrillers and Musicals
Cole Sprouse has successfully distanced himself from the teen drama of *Riverdale* (where he played the fan-favorite Jughead Jones) and is now diving headfirst into a diverse slate of film projects set for release in 2025 and beyond. His upcoming roles demonstrate a purposeful move to showcase his versatility and ability to lead a major motion picture.
The Rivals of Amziah King: A Gritty Crime Drama
One of Cole’s most anticipated projects is the crime thriller, *The Rivals of Amziah King*, which is slated for a 2025 release. The film, which also stars Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey, is set deep within the backwoods of rural Oklahoma. While the plot details are kept tight, the movie is described as a gritty, character-driven story about a charismatic leader, Amziah King, whose "honey game is ruthless" and whose rivals threaten to destroy everything he has built. Cole's involvement in a serious, non-franchise crime genre film alongside a major star is a clear statement about his future intentions in Hollywood.
Undercover: A Surprising Movie Musical
In a complete tonal pivot, Cole is also set to star in the family-comedy-musical *Undercover*, alongside Zachary Levi. This project marks a surprising return to a more lighthearted genre, but with the added challenge of a musical format. The film, directed by Steve Pink, is an exciting prospect for fans who haven't seen Cole in a pure comedy role since his Disney days. The anticipation is high to see if the former *Five Feet Apart* star will showcase his singing abilities, making this one of his most intriguing projects on the horizon.
2. Dylan Sprouse's Dual Life: Horror Star and Mead Entrepreneur
Dylan Sprouse's career path has been arguably more unconventional than his twin's, blending acting with a successful side hustle that taps into his passion for fermentation and history. While he continues to take on challenging film roles, his business acumen is what truly sets him apart in the current landscape.
The Creature in Lisa Frankenstein (2025)
Dylan’s recent major cinematic release, *Lisa Frankenstein*, proved to be a critical step in his career, allowing him to embody a unique, non-speaking role as The Creature. The film, a horror-comedy, allowed Dylan to shed his typical romantic lead image and showcase a more physical, expressive performance. The enthusiastic fan response to his portrayal further solidified his ability to thrive outside of mainstream television and big-budget franchises.
All-Wise Meadery: The Brooklyn Brewer
Perhaps the most defining aspect of Dylan's post-Disney career is his ownership of All-Wise Meadery, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. Mead, an alcoholic beverage made from fermented honey, is a passion project Dylan started brewing when he was just 16. Founded in 2017, the meadery is a tangible expression of his interest in history and brewing, proving that his NYU degree in Video Game Design was not the only non-acting path he pursued. This entrepreneurial venture provides a solid foundation outside of the unpredictable world of acting, making him one of the few former child stars to successfully launch a major, non-celebrity-driven business.
3. The Suite Life Reunion That Broke the Internet
Despite their desire to move past their *Suite Life* legacy, the twins continue to embrace their history with moments that send social media into a frenzy. The most notable recent event was the impromptu reunion with a key cast member from their Disney Channel days.
In July 2024, both Cole and Dylan Sprouse were photographed with their former co-star, Phill Lewis, who famously played the strict but lovable hotel manager Mr. Moseby on both *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody* and *The Suite Life on Deck*. The reunion took place on the red carpet at the premiere of Dylan's film, *The Duel*, and was instantly viral. The sight of Zack, Cody, and Mr. Moseby together again, sharing laughs and a genuine moment, was a nostalgic treat for millions of fans, proving that the bond between the cast remains strong years after the show concluded.
4. The Ultimate Twin Collaboration: Cole as Photographer for Dylan
While they rarely act together, the twins have found a new way to professionally collaborate that highlights their individual skills: fashion photography. In a significant joint project for Spring 2025, Dylan Sprouse and his wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin, starred in a new "Dress to Express" campaign for the fashion brand Express.
The twist? The entire campaign was shot by none other than Cole Sprouse, showcasing his established career as a professional photographer. This collaboration is a perfect example of their mature, supportive relationship, where Cole's creative vision captures the intimate dynamic between his brother and sister-in-law. It allows both twins to leverage their celebrity status while working in their chosen, distinct fields—Dylan as the model/actor and Cole as the artist behind the lens.
5. The Future of the Sprouse Brand: Individuality and Legacy
Looking ahead to 2025, the Sprouse twins have successfully navigated the treacherous waters of child stardom by prioritizing education, individual passions, and a calculated separation of their professional identities. Cole is focused on establishing his credibility in serious cinema with projects like *The Rivals of Amziah King*, while still exploring fun, new genres like the musical *Undercover*. Meanwhile, Dylan is building a lasting business legacy with All-Wise Meadery, all while taking on unique and challenging roles in films like *Lisa Frankenstein*.
Their combined net worth and consistent work ethic prove that the Zack and Cody brand has evolved into two distinct, highly valuable entities. They have managed to maintain a strong public relationship, often appearing together at events like the *Lisa Frankenstein* premiere, but their individual career choices—from Cole's photography to Dylan’s mead—ensure that they are recognized for their unique talents, not just their shared past. The curiosity surrounding a potential on-screen reunion remains, but for now, their individual success stories are more compelling than any reboot.
