Then again, both Morbius and the two Venom films felt a little too formulaic, so having a lead that may not be directly involved in combat could result in a fresh take on superhero cinema. Besides that, it seems unlikely that Johnson would be cast to play an older woman who never leaves her room, which means the upcoming film adaptation should take a lot of liberties with the character. However, we are all curious to see how Sony will turn her into a protagonist despite her lack of combat abilities. Madame Web is the perfect supporting character for any aspiring superhero, one that can look behind the curtains of the future and reveal the outcome of a conflict before it even happens.

Madame Web is a supporting character to Peter Parker in the comic books. The film stars Dakota Johnson as the titular hero and will be an origin story for the first female lead in Sony’s corner of the Marvel universe. Columbia Pictures announced today that Madame Webwill officially debut on Sony’s Universe of Spider-Man Characters in July 2023.
