Alongside Sweeney, this movie stars Dakota Johnson (Cassandra Webb), Adam Scott (Ben Parker), Emma Roberts (Mary Parker), Isabela Merced, Jill Hennessy, Tahar Rahim, Zosia Mamet, and Mike Epps. Although only a few roles have been revealed we know that Johnson and Sweeney will be sharing the spotlight as lead roles in this movie. In the comics, Julia Carpenter is known for becoming Madame Web after Cassandra Webb transfers her powers into Carpenter before dying from a mortal wound.
Additionally, the only significant information revealed by Sony was the synopsis of the movie: “the film will be an origin story of the clairvoyant [Madame Web], whose psychic abilities allow her to see within the spider world.” While it doesn't reveal much about the plot, it's interesting to know that this film will bring the Spider-Verse to live-action.
Madame Web is set to release on February 16, 2023.
