So, in what appears to be a response to Kevin Feige producing a Star Wars movie, Sony announces development on a Madame Web movie written by the writers of Morbius (which hasn’t even come out yet):


Yeah, because that’s something we were begging for. /sarcasm

Calling it, this will be the Dark Universe fiasco all over again.

Clearly there's no subject matter more exciting for a blockbuster movie than an old woman sitting in a chair and spouting cryptic exposition.

I imagine they'd go with the Jennifer Carpenter version but still... Sony should be incorporating what the characters that they have into building stronger Spider-Man movies but they still think any random side character or villain can become a hit movie. It would probably take Morbius making negative box office to steer them in another direction after Venom made them even more confident than they were.

Not really feeling about a Madame Web film or better I'm not really feeling about most of the non-MCU films from Sony except Venom 2 and the Spider-Verse films.

From what I can tell, Morbius becoming a dud is 80 to 90% likely to be a done deal already. We haven’t heard or seen any footage for that movie, there’s radio silence everywhere, and I can't find anyone who's even kind of hyped for it.

(That being said, it’s still possible they’re waiting on Halloween to reveal something for the movie, but I’m not holding my breath on it being any good.)

S.J. Clarkson hired to develop the first female-centric Sony/Marvel movie, possibly Madame Web.

The animated Spider-Women film, perhaps ?

This is the first I'm hearing on this, but is Sandra Bullock being rumored for Madame Web? Kimmel brings it up as if it's fact. I kinda wonder, especially seeing how KIMMEL= ABC= DISNEY= MARVEL

Yeah, rumors spun out of some fan art inspired by her past project Bird Box, her character wore a blindfold. Really dumb.

Okay. Wasn't sure where the heck that came from. Maybe Feige & Sony will consider it seeing how she seems willing. I said before, in terms of multiverse, she can play a part.

Apparently they plan to start filming "Madame Web" soon.

 

[Rick Jones]

I had no idea that was a thing. Maybe I was too harsh on Silver and Black and the Sinister Six movie before.

Good luck with that, Sony .

Madame Web was similar to Dr. Strange. Not sure how they'll spin her story, but they already set up other magic stuff in the MCU to great acclaim. Curious if they'll actually go with Bullock for this. Not a bad choice.

According to Deadline, Dakota Johnson is in talks to play Madame Web in a movie directed by S.J. Clarkson and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

Dakota Johnson...as Madame Web...

I'm just going to assume this is Julia Carpenter because that's the only way I see this making any semblance of sense .

Okay at first I was like "wow that's a really stupid direction to take this franchise" when hearing this news. Not Dakota Johnson. Yeah she was not great as Anastasia Steele in 50 Shades of Grey but... no one was good in that movie and I have seen her in stuff like The Peanut Butter Falcon where she does really solid work as an actress adding some genuine emotion to a character. But just the idea in general of a Madam Web movie, I didn't find to be that well sensible. I get Sony wanting to have a female focused movie but that's why you go with characters like Silk or Jessica Drew's Spider Woman or something like that. Why go with Madam Web since most I know of her was as the mentor of Spider Man in the 90's animated series you know the old lady in the super psychic multi dimensional traveling chair who had to have others do everything for her. But thinking about it I realized it's the multi dimension angle that Sony is looking for as yeah though their movies have been established as being in Marvel's multi verse and obviously having their own multi verse there doesn't seem to be a specific character yet who can more regularly travel between them as their main gimmick. Like possibly we may see Miguel O Hara aka Spider Man 2099 be able to multi verse hop but doubt it would be with any you know knowledge fully about where and when he is. However if you introduce a character who can serve that function and have her movie be about her slowly having to become Madam Webb slowly losing her mobility and sight regularly but being able to travel and see more then most anyone else could due to having the entire multi verse to view through the web's connection that could be an actually interesting movie which would tie into doing more multi verse movies with her as a supporting role. Like oddly it's one I can see possibilities of the more I think about it which is saying something for this idea. Of course Sony can still bungle it like... they often do but there is more possibilities plus at least with the multi verse I can see Madam Webb a character more on her own not needing an R rated movie attached to her to give her focus like Venom or Morbius should have had.

S.J. Clarkson is British you'd think they'd give her the Spiderwoman movie.

Dakota Johnson made a cryptic post seemingly confirming the casting.
