McKinley Franklin editor Move over, Spider-Man, there’s some new web-slingers in town. 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).
