Banshee was a GREAT show so maybe this show out of a less than nothing character could be decent. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to just put it out there that in the almost 2.5 years that have passed since I have written this comment, that Big Wheel was added to one of the mobile games I play each day during my commute. Apparently there IS plans for EVERYONE in the Marvel Universe. Bosco685 and Jordysnordy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.J. Clarkson is on board to direct the pic.Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. penned the screenplay. In the comics, Madame Web is depicted as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis and thus was connected to a life support system that looked like a spider web. Due to her age and medical condition, Madame Web never actively fought any villains. For that reason, sources have stressed it’s possible the project could turn into something else.

Bosco685 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Quote Dakota Johnson is in talks to play the title character in Madame Web, the Sony spinoff centered on the Spider-Man character. S.J. Clarkson is set to direct the feature, which is part of Sony’s growing stable of films based on Marvel characters. Introduced in 1980’s The Amazing Spider-Man No. 210, 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, and rather sends others on missions. Quote Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who are behind fellow Spider-Man spin-off Morbius, penned the -script. Madame Web marks the biggest studio feature in years for Johnson, who broke out in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise and has since focused on smaller and independent fare. Recently, Johnson was at the Sundance Film Festival with two features — Am I Ok? and Cha Cha Real Smooth — both of which she also produced under her TeaTime banner. Madame Web is one of a number in development as the studio builds out its Sony Universe of Marvel Characters. Sony, which controls the film rights to Spider-Man and other related characters, has already released Venom (2018) and Venom Let There Be Carnage (2020) and has the Jared Leto movie Morbius due out in April. Sony also has Kraven the Hunter in the works with star Aaron Taylor-Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get too excited yet. Even with removing the MCU-Sony modern films the three Spider-Verse has rolled out have been quite successful. To include a Oscar-winner that beat two top Disney Pixas films (“Incredibles 2” and “Ralph Breaks the Internet”). I think at this point Sony execs want to avoid the franchise sins of the past.

Buzzetta Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 This would explain why there is a recent spike in ASM 30 (whatever volume after volume 1) that introduced Morlun and Ezekiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the Morlun storyline at the time, never been back to re read it yet but if that’s an idea being floated about then get Garfield back in and do it proper!

Bosco685 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Julia Carpenter is supposedly the focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 So if this is Julia Carpenter (Spider-Woman II) Madame Web they could link this back to her earlier adventures. That could also tie into the Spider-Women animated movie that has been rumored for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Weird choice. I’ve never read a comic with Madame Web in it. My only exposure to her was in that early text-based video game: Questprobe: Spider-Man. It was a couple of floppy disks on an Apple 2. Still, went in to read a few hundred Spidey issues in the 90s/2000s & never encountered her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Since this is dominantly a comic book forum... ...there is no reason why this book should be selling for more than $1K and being listed for a buy now at +$2K in CGC 9.8. Not a popular character, Dakota Johnson (while I have nothing against her) isn't the best casting ever, and this might not even be the correct Madame Web. My guess is that this book will start dropping quick from the initial overreaction and Secret Wars #6 will start ticking up. ***Secret Wars #6 is the first appearance of Julia Carpenter aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
