It is rumored that Sydney Sweeney will be portraying the character of Spider-Woman in the upcoming Madame Web film. More importantly, the Euphoria star would play the second Spider-Woman also known as Julia Carpenter. The news of Sweeney being Julia Carpenter was first reported on by The Cosmic Circus back in August 2022. This information has not been confirmed by Sony Pictures. If rumors are to be believed and Jeff Sneider’s (leakster) comments are taken seriously then Sweeney won’t be the only Spider-Woman in this film. She’d be joined by Cassandra Webb, Matie Franklin, and Anya Corazon which would certainly make things interesting. Sydney Sweeney recently appeared in an interview where she couldn’t help but hide her excitement about the Sony film.
Madame Web: Sydney Sweeney Is A Superhero Fanatic!
In a recent interview with Total Film Magazine, Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney talked about her excitement about her Marvel debut with her talented female co-stars, “I can’t wait to be able to be next to the girls that I filmed with – Dakota and Isabela, and Celeste. We had so much fun together. And I’m really excited that it’s just gonna be a powerhouse of badass females for the world to see.” The actress further revealed, “I fought for the character. It’s been a really incredible journey that I’m very, very excited to be a part of.”
She concluded with, “Superheroes have been my entire life! Those [films] are all my parents ever wanted to go see. I think I’ve seen ‘The Avengers’ probably 20, 30-plus times. My family, they love [them]… I could not have made them happier choosing to do that project [‘Madame Web’].”
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, 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.
