Weaving this web will be a lot of fun. With the release of Sony’s latest Spider-Man film, Madame Web, the Spider-Man universe continues to grow.
The title of the film suggests a scenario involving the Marvel Comics character Madame Web, first debuted in 1980’s The Amazing Spider-Man No. 210. Plot details have yet to be disclosed. In the Spider-Man universe, the character is a mutant clairvoyant who can anticipate the futures of a number of superheroes.
It was not only Peter Parker’s alter ego that Madame Web mentored in the comics, but many others as well. The typical depiction of her was as a blind and disabled old woman surrounded by intricate webs to ensure her survival.
Although the casting of the film’s various roles has yet to be verified, it has been widely believed that Dakota Johnson will play the film’s title heroine.
She will be joined by Sydney Sweeney, who said at the May 2022 Met Gala that filming will begin in the summer. Adam Scott, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, and Mike Epps complete the cast.
The red leather coat worn by Johnson in the first photographs from production appeared to resemble Julia Carpenter, who has been referred to as Spider-Woman and Madame Web in the comic books, thereby confirming her position.
Photos from the set by Boston Globe reporter Kevin Slane showed ads for Palm Pilots with “3G speed” and a billboard for Beyoncé’s debut album, implying the film or at least certain aspects will be set 20 years ago.
Sony has been working on the story for several years. Actress Charlize Theron or Amy Adams were being eyed to appear in Marvel’s first film focusing on a female protagonist until director S.J. Clarkson was brought on board to take on the director’s chair in May of 2020. Two new screenwriters, Matt Sazama and Burt Sharpless, were subsequently brought in to develop the script for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Johnson was in talks to play the lead by February 2022.
In mid-July 2022, filming began in Boston, Massachusetts, as well as in New York and Mexico. A release date of October 6, 2023, has been tentatively established for the film’s release.
“a bunch of comic books” to prepare for the role. “There’s a lot to learn. I’ve always been a really big fan of all of the Marvel and Sony Universe movies,” the Euphoria actress shared. “I’ve grown up watching them all and I’ve been engulfed in the entire world my entire life, so being able to be a part of that is such an incredible, incredible thing.”
Madame Web, a clairvoyant mutant who originally appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man No. 210 in 1980, is expected to be the focus of the story, based on the title.
Even though many of the Spider-Man films take place in the present day, behind-the-scenes images show set features that indicate a setting from the early 2000s.. Madame Web’s capacity to look into the future may have anything to do with this.
Although it hasn’t been confirmed who would portray who, Johnson will star as Madame Web, it has been widely claimed. Sweeney, Scott, Roberts, Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Rahim, and Epps will join the Persuasion actress.
On the heels of starring roles in films such as The Lost Daughter and Cha Cha Real Smooth, Johnson opened up about preparing for this big-budget feature. The actress told Collider in June 2022, “Having experience on various tiers of films, I can bring maybe some stuff from the little movies to the big movies… you know?” “I particularly enjoy watching large-scale films with a strong emotional core,” says the moviegoer.
