The threads shrouding the upcoming Madame Web film’s details are starting to unfurl, and here’s the detailing of each.
Madame Web Will be Led by Fifty Shades of Grey Star Dakota Johnson
Sony Pictures’ Madame Web will be led byFifty Shades of GreyandSuspiriaDakota Johnson, who cannot wait to bring the lesser-known Marvel character to the big screen for the first time.
“I’m so excited. It’s pretty cool to be in the Marvel world, especially with a character that’s not so known. There’s a lot of space to make her very cool. I’m very excited. It’s always been a dream of mine to do some kind of massive action movie. I always wanted to be like a female Indiana Jones. I really have always… I saw the new Top Gun, and it’s so good! It’s so good. There’s something about those movies, that’s just like, ‘Wow, a real human being can do that?'”
Johnson has also promised that, despiteMadame Webbeing another big comic book movie blockbuster, she will bring some of the more intimate elements that she loveswhen making smaller scale movies.
“I guess having experience on all tiers of films I can bring maybe some stuff from the little movies to the big movies that I want to see in them, you know? I really love seeing large-scale films that still have heart in them.”
AlongsideMadame Web, Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (also sometimes known as the Venom-Verse) continues to grow. Following the release of such installments asVenom, Venom: Let There be Carnage, and the much-malignedMorbius, the spinoff cinematic universe will continue to introduce audiences to Spider-Man villains…without Spider-Man.Kraven the Hunterstarring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Russell Crowe is up next, with Academy Award nominee and action star Tom Hardy is now working on bringing Eddie Brock and Venom back to the silver screenwithVenom 3, which is set to be directed by Kelly Marcel.
