One of the most highly anticipated movies coming in this year under Sony Pictures Entertainment is Madame Web which is considered as a fan-favorite and one of the most unique heroes from the Marvel comics. Dakota Johnson will bring Cassandra Webb to life, a clairvoyant and precognitive hero who has the ability to see through the future and possibly bind this franchise to the MCU with her "Web of Life and Death" which fits through the MCU narrative. In a new clip released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, it is a featurette introducing the titular hero, Madame Web, and who she is in the story and how she binds the three other women who gets to be heroes in the future. See the clip below:
The title of the featurette is Who is Madame Web and it brings some clips from the movie where the titular character uses her powers. The clip also shows some interviews of the four main heroes of Madame Web with Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney who is set to play Julia Carpenter, a.k.a. Spider-Woman II, Celeste O’Connor who will suit up as Mattie Franklin/ Spider-Woman III, and Isabela Merced who will don the character of Anya Corazon a.k.a. Spider-Girl.
What is Madame Web about?
Madame Web will introduce the titular hero who is considered as one of Marvel comics' most enigmatic characters. The movie is a suspense-driven thriller which will follow Cassandra Webb and her humble origins as a paramedic in Manhattan who unlocked her clairvoyant abilities which forced her to have some glimpses of the past and the future. Stuck in between the past, present, and future, Cassandra will have to usher three young women whose destiny are bigger than what they have imagined.
Cassandra will be the key to bringing Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, and Anya Corazon to their full potential as heroes while they face the threat of Ezekiel Sims, the villain who has a similar suit to Spider-Man. The synopsis of the movie also mentioned the words "another universe" which could be hinting to a connection with the MCU whose narrative currently focuses on alternate realities and other universes.
Madame Web is coming out in theaters on February 14, 2024.
