  1. Sony has released the first trailer for “Madame Web,” starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in the next chapter of the live-action universe of Spider-Man characters.

    Johnson steps into the leading role of Cassandra Webb, a clairvoyant character who goes by the name Madame Web. In the Marvel comics, she has psychic abilities that allow her to see into the interconnected spider world. 

    Sweeney plays Julia Carpenter, who takes on the mantle of Spider-Woman in the comics. The cast also includes Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps and Zosia Mamet.

    After the huge success of Sony Pictures Animation’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” it’s clear there is a huge appetite for all things that can wall crawl and web swing. “Madame Web” is the latest chapter in the live-action Spider-Man universe, following the releases of Tom Hardy’s “Venom” (2018), “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (2021) and Jared Leto’s “Morbius” (2022).

    Up next for Sony is a third “Venom” movie slated for Nov. 8, 2024, and “Kraven the Hunter,” starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, for Aug. 30, 2024. There’s also “El Muerto” and “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” Notably, “Madame Web” is Sony’s first comic book adaptation that features a leading woman.

    S.J. Clarkson, who helmed Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” and “The Defenders,” directs “Madame Web.” Matt Sazama, Kerem Sazama and Burk Sharpless wrote the screenplay while Adam Merims executive produced.

    “Madame Web” will swing into theaters on Feb. 14, 2024. 

  2. Well this looks crap.

    I know they’re obscure characters but the film versions are nothing like the comics.

    Using Ezekiel? Why not Khaine?

  3. I had just assumed this was gonna be a movie about Felicia Hardy/Black Cat when I saw they cast Sweeney.
    One of these days I’m gonna learn to stop getting my hopes up for that character.

  4. It’s a lovely cast but man, this doesn’t look good at all. It looks like a streaming series

  5. Sony please seek help. Idk what drugs you all on but for the love of god just stop.

  6. Nobody really wants Spider-Man movies that don’t have Spider-Man in it. Venom only really worked because of Tom Hardy.

  7. Wonder why marvel makes these B tier character movies instead of cool alternate movie versions of comics like Marvel zombies or Deadpool kills the universe?

    Old man Logan proved pretty damned good so we know they can do it, but I can’t be the only one absolutely completely uninterested in these characters, they’re just so boring. Unknown and obsure as well, but not interesting.

  8. This looks like something Warner Bros would shelf for tax purposes.

  9. Based on all I knew about this movie, I thought Sydney Sweeney was the star. I didn’t even know Dakota Johnson was in it. From the same screenwriters of Morbius, and you can tell with lines like “I’ve seen that man before. Ezekiel Sims. He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died’.

  10. I’m honestly interested, ladies, are you into this whole multi-ethnic super girl power movies that are being cranked out right now? Does this trailer seem appealing or engaging? Will you be going to see this?

  11. Ready for the inevitable “audiences aren’t ready for a woman in a leading role” narrative when this tanks

    This looks lame. Period.

  12. Sony marvel movies make the marvels and quantumania look good

  13. I take it this has continuity with any other Spider-Man movie?

  14. The Spider-Man cinematic universe meets CW’s Gotham Knights. This doesn’t look good at all, but I’m a morbidly obese with curiosity as to what this building to or what the “why?” Is to this movies existence

  15. Casting Dakota Johnson in a lead role just screams Money laundering scheme to me because surely, a xanax cocktail with bangs was not the best choice for the part?

  16. It looks so incredibly awful, and it’s apparently by the same writers as It’s Morbin’ Time.

    Sometimes I love being a Spider-Man fan. Most of the time I hate it

  17. 21 years later these CG spider-people are still bouncing around like they’re weightless, with no regard to physics or inertia. I gave it a pass in the first Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire, one of the first movies to extensively make use of a digital double for the main character. Why, 21 years later, can FX artists still not make digital doubles look like real physical beings moving through space? It’s not the texturing. It’s the way they move that makes it look fake.

    EDIT: Marvel actually does OK with this with their Tom Holland Spider-Man. I guess it’s a Sony problem.

  18. The 1990s called they want their generic looking superhero movie back

  19. Warner bros over here cancelling films that probably should be released. And we got marvel. Who has a lot of things they should shelve but won’t because they still think they are doing well.
