Sony Pictures has been adding more projects to its Spider-Man universe, which is dubbed as Sony Universe of Marvel Characters, and the latest is Madame Web. Actor Dakota Johnson is in negotiations to play the titular role of this film.
Written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the film is set to be directed by SJ Clarkson. Madame Web, first introduced in the 1980's The Amazing Spider-Man No. 210 comics, is a clairvoyant mutant who excels in predicting the future specifically of Spider-themed superheroes, having mentored not only Peter Parker's web-slinger, but also multiple generations of heroes calling themselves Spider-Woman.
Under Sony Universe of Marvel Characters, the studio has released Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2020). The upcoming slate of films includes the Jared Leto-starrer Morbius and Kraven the Hunter starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
