YES! Sydney Sweeney is joining the Sony/Marvel film Madame Web!
Dakota Johnson is set to star in the title role. Madame Web is being described as Sony’s version of Doctor Strange due to her psychic abilities.
According to THR, Madame Web is a “clairvoyant mutant who specializes in predicting the future of Spider-themed superheroes, having mentored not only Peter Parker’s alter ego, but also multiple generations of heroes calling themselves Spider-Woman. Traditionally depicted as a blind, paralyzed old woman, she is surrounded by a web-like machine necessary to keep her alive, meaning that she stays away from direct conflict, favoring the option to send others to do the physical stuff on her behalf.”
Madame Web first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #210, which was published in November 1980.
It’s unknown what role Sydney will be portraying at this time, Deadline reports, but stay tuned as we learn more.
