Imagine you have rights to one of the most loved Superheroes of all time, that is an asset you use carefully. It took a little for Sony to grasp this concept but I think now they’ve realized it. They’re making sure they don’t waste these rights. They’ve decided to go deep in the Spider-Man mythos. They’re creating a number of Spider-Man spin offs of other characters as they’ve realized they can’t create a decent Spider-Man flick. So Marvel is using Spider-Man in the MCU but Sony is distributing the movie and enjoying the profits. This is Sony’s dream come true. 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.
The latest addition to the cast of the Madame Web film was Adam Scott. As the film’s production has been going on for a while now and we currently don’t have any idea about the plot of the film or who’s is playing which character. Except for Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web who looks like she will based on Julia Carpenter in the comics based on the set photos we got last month. The recent updates we got from the film was Adam Scott’s first look that was leaked. That was three months earlier. After that we got a leaked set video of an action scene the movie last month. Just yesterday we got leaked photos of Dakota Johnson in white hair and today we have the first look at Sydney Sweeney’s character from the film.
Madame Web: Is Sydney Sweeney playing Madame Web or Spider-Woman?
Twitter user @DakotaJBRA has once again provided us with set photos from the Madame Web film. This time she has given us the first look of Sydney Sweeney’s character in the Madame Web film. In the post, Sweeney is seemingly following Dakota Johnson’s character out of a subway and sporting red hair, a plaid skirt, and glasses. Check out the tweet below:

An extra post offers us a better look at Sweeney’s character and her character’s costume, as well as fellow members of the Madame Web cast, including Celeste O’Connor and Isabela Merced. Its worth noting that these leaked set photos strengthen the argument of fans that the film will be set in the early 2000s, same time as of Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man trilogy.

It is unclear as of now which character is Sydney Sweeney playing. Sony has not officially confirmed anything yet. If rumors are to be trusted then, she’ll be playing Julia Carpenter. Although, this rumor also doesn’t come in much as Julia Carpenter happens to be both the 2nd Spiderwoman and the 2nd Madame Web. Meanwhile, Celeste O’Connor is currently credited as Mattie Franklin or Spider-Woman while Isabela Merced is playing Anya Corazon or Spider-Girl.
Madame Web 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.
The film stars Dakota Johnson, as well as fellow co-stars Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim,S Emma Roberts and most recently Severance’s star Adam Scott. 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.
Madame Web is slated to release on 16th February 2024.
