Sony has long realized their number 1 asset remains the Spider-Man rights they have. They’re making sure they don’t waste theses rights as they’ve decided to go deep in the Spider-Man mythos. They’re creating a number of Spider-Man spin offs as they’ve realized they can’t create a decent Spider-Man flick. So Marvel using Spider-Man in the MCU still they distributing the movie and enjoying the profits is Sony’s dream come true. However, that is not all they’re doing. They’ve created their own universe of Spider-Man Spin offs. It kicked off with 2018’s Venom followed by Venom: Let there be Carnage, Morbius, Kraven the Hunter and the latest being Madame Web. Kraven the Hunter is slated to release six months prior to Madame Web on 13th January 2023.
Recently Dakota Johnson was casted as the Madame herself and now Emma Roberts is casted in the film.
Who does Emma Roberts play in Madame Web?
Madame Web was suspected to be Sony’s answer to Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Emma Roberts will join Dakota Johnson, as well as fellow co-stars Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced and Tahar Rahim. Sony hasn’t issued any statement after the reported casting of the actor. Emma Roberts is the niece of Hollywood Legend Julia Roberts and she rose to prominence after playing the antagonist in Wes Craven’s Scream 4 and appearing in American Horror Story since 2013.
The film is to be directed by S.J. Clarkson and the screenplay of the film is written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, with a previous draft having been penned by Kerem Sanga. The character was created by late writer Dennis O’Neil. The original Madame Web — real name Cassandra Webb — first appeared in 1980’s Amazing Spider-Man #210. The mantle of Madame Web was later taken up by Julia Carpenter, who is perhaps best known for being the second Spider-Woman. Created by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck, Julia first appeared as Spider-Woman as part of the Secret Wars limited series in 1984. Julia became Madame Web in 2010’s Amazing Spider-Man #637 following the death of Cassandra Webb.
Emma Roberts is currently casted in an unknown role and as the film is in its very early stages it is difficult to predict the story of the film. Let me know what you think is the part Roberts will be playing in the upcoming Sony-Marvel film.
Madame Web is slated to release on 7th July 2023.
