Sony's Madame Web is generating buzz, thanks in part to an intriguing international promo featuring star Dakota Johnson and the newest castings that may reveal its connection to Spider-Man. No, we don't mean the whole "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died" thing.
Marvel Studios' 2024 film slate only comprises Deadpool 3, as we recently learned. Considering the lukewarm response at the box office for recent MCU films, Sony Pictures Entertainment is poised to take advantage if it plays its cards right with the upcoming Spider-Verse projects. With Madame Web being the first of these to be released, it has the additional pressure of setting expectations for the rest.
Will it make a good impression on the moviegoing fans who are supposedly jaded with "superhero fatigue"? Madame Web lead star Dakota Johnson certainly thinks so, as she speaks highly about her role and predicting the success of the film in a new promo clip.
The video provides a quick glimpse into the clairvoyant character Johnson portrays, Cassandra Webb. She also teased audiences with the promise that they will love the movie — so much so that they might even see it twice. Could this be a hint that the film will actually have multiple endings?
