Highlights
- Dakota Johnson’s character in Madame Web wears an all-red spider suit, as revealed in a promotional image on an Ocean Spray bottle.
- Fans are excited about the release of Madame Web, hoping it will be a critical success, unlike previous Spider-Man Universe films from Sony.
- Sydney Sweeney plays Julia Carpenter in Madame Web, a character who becomes the second Spider-Woman and may have a different storyline in the movie compared to the comics.
Madame Web merch from overseas revealed Dakota Johnson in her spider suit, which may be featured heavily in the Spider-Man Universe movie, which releases on February 14th.
The Madame Web trailer revealed that the movie will follow Johnson’s character, Cassandra Webb, a young woman who becomes clairvoyant. The Spider-Man Universe film will be an origin story exploring how Madame Web became a superhero. In the comics, Madame Web eventually becomes a mighty hero who borders on being a mystical figure, so it’ll be interesting to see what trials Web must go through to become such an individual. While the film’s trailer revealed the suits for other characters seen in Madame Web, the suit for Johnson’s character was kept under wraps until recently.
A Reddit post (via u/Matapple13) revealed Madame Web’s all-red Spider suit worn by Johnson. The promotional image that shows the previously secret costume was seen on an Ocean Spray bottle with what appears to be Mandarin letters. It’s not clear whether this product was released earlier than intended. Regardless, fans are probably excited to get a sneak peek at the newly revived superhero, who sports a costume relatively reminiscent of her comic book equivalent. Shortly after the leak, an international Madame Web poster was released, revealing a more detailed glimpse at every main character’s costume.
Fans have grown excited about the movie’s release, partly due to reports that early Madame Web screenings were received well. A critically well-received release would be in contrast to recent Spider-Man Universe releases from Sony, with movies like Morbius and Venom being panned by most critics. Some fans hope Madame Web is the key to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe finally performing well. Unlike Venom and Morbius, which both featured anti-heroes as their main characters, Madame Web will feature a more traditional hero who begins the movie as a somewhat regular person, similar to other successful origin-story superhero movies. In addition to Johnson, the movie also features Emma Roberts, Isabela Merced, Adam Scott, and more.
Actress Sydney Sweeney plays Julia Carpenter, an important character in Madame Web. In the comics, Carpenter becomes the second Spider-Woman before adopting the title and powers of Madame Web following Cassandra Webb’s death years later. 2024’s Madame Web will presumably only follow the introductory days of the superhero, and it’s not yet clear how closely Sony plans to follow the comics. So, although fans already know that Sweeney’s character dons a spider suit thanks to the trailer, the character might be in for a significantly different ride in Sony’s movies.
Madame Web releases in theaters on February 14, 2024.
