It’s been exactly a month since ‘Madame Web’ released and what was supposed to be the next installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (without Spider-Man in it) that expands on the popular side-characters, quickly turned out into a massive loss for a studio and meme factory. The movie turned out to be both commercial and box-office failure failing to outearn ‘Morbius,’ previous record-holder when it comes to the bar of bad Ssu movies.
The cast members are coping in their own ways, Sweeney who played Julia Carpenter one of the Spider-Women already joked about the movie in a lighthearted way, while her co-star Dakota Johnson (Cassandra Web) gave some serious statements to the press about how the film studios execs need to take a long hard look at what they are creating.

Spider-Man has a baddie line-up to rival that of any other superhero. Even better, the best of the worst regularly get together to form a supervillain team, the Sinister Six. Why the very idea is enough to send any superhero fan’s heart aflutter. And make a Sony executive’s bank account howl in hunger.
That’s undoubtedly why Sony has tried so hard to make a Sinister Six movie happen, first in The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, and then in its Spidey-less Spider-Verse with Venom, Morbius, and Madame Web. But before both of these disastrous failures, Sony was already on the right track to making a great movie with some of the best baddies.

Dakota Johnson has opened up about Madame Web’s critical and commercial struggles, saying “I don’t make sense in that world”.
Sony’s latest entry in its ongoing series of Spider-Man films that don’t feature Spider-Man is Madame Web. Dakota Johnson stars in the film as the titular Cassandra Web, a paramedic who develops psychic powers. At this point, you probably don’t need us to tell you the film has not released to a warm reception and the internet is filled with thoughts about how this film can possibly have come to exist here, in the best of all worlds.
Dakota Johnson has thoughts too. Before the film released, she was dropping lots of none-too subtle hints about it. These included calling the experience of shooting the visual effects portions ‘psychotic' and pointedly stating that the final film didn’t resemble the one that she agreed to make.

Being an actor is not easy, and it can get difficult at times, even for the most seasoned professionals. Just like it has gotten tough for Dakota Johnson following the failure of her superhero movie, Madame Web. The film was so bad that even the cast of the movie has now issued statements about not wanting to get involved with future sequels.

Hideo Kojima has directed masterpieces across the years and certainly is an authority when it comes to quality story-telling, and occasionally sharing his two cents when it comes to movies, his recent one-sentence review with Madame Web speaks volumes about how he feels about the movie despite having a strong relationship with Sony. The quality of superhero movies has taken quite a tumble, and Kojima, an advocate of cinema, didn’t have anything to say at all about the latest entry of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
The moment Sony announced that they would capitalize and build their cinematic universe about Spider-Man characters but not even having him around, it was a ticking time bomb. Their films are either mediocre like Venom and his underwhelming sequel or plain bad like Morbius, and it would be criminal to not mention Madame Web in this category.

Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s premiere properties, one that was out of Marvel’s Studios’ hands until 2016. Still having the split the difference with Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios has had the opportunity to capitalize on the IP by incorporating the character into their shared universe. However, this has caused the MCU depiction to be just one iteration of the multiple versions of the character across all media.

Tom Holland already has to compete with the Spider-Verse animated films being helmed by Sony, which feature another version of Peter Parker and has a host of Spider-People at its disposal to throw at the audience. It now seems that Holland might have more competition with being Spider-Man, after the head writer for Spider-Man: The Animated Series has revealed how ready he is to jump back into action.

Not many people have seen "Madame Web" and an even smaller slice of the moviegoing population like the movie.
It stuck out to me that star Dakota Johnson seems to be under the impression that the film was set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't know if this is Sony Pictures feeding the actors and/or their agents misleading information or if movie stars like Johnson (understandably) can't be bothered to learn the nerdy logistics of these franchises.
Still, this got me thinking how the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't have a "no previous superhero roles" bar to entry. Oscar Isaac, who played the villain in the disastrous "X-Men: Apocalypse," was then recruited to star in "Moon Knight." Christian Bale, a generation's Dark Knight, played Gorr the God Butcher in "Thor: Love and Thunder" because of his children's pleading.
In "Madame Web," Sydney Sweeney plays Julia Cornwall, the future Spider-Woman.

Actress Dakota Johnson is not making headlines this time around for her role in a romantic drama or a gripping thriller. Instead, it is due to her disappointment with the cast of the recently released superhero film, Madame Web. The actress, 34, participated in extensive driving stunt training for Sony’s film, but she was not permitted to do any “crazy things” while working on the film.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Johnson was asked if she was excited to be doing her own stunts in Madame Web, helmed by the British director S. J. Clarkson. The film is based on the same-named character from Marvel Comics. Johnson plays Cassandra Webb, better known as Madame Webb, a clairvoyant with the ability to foresee future occurrences in the ‘spider world’.

“With great power comes great responsibility” might be the most important line in superhero fiction. It crystalizes a theme present in the best superhero stories even before Spider-Man‘s debut in 1962’s Amazing Fantasy #15, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s Superman tales and Bill Parker, and C.C. Beck’s Captain Marvel adventures. The line transforms superhero stories from mere power fantasies to stories about service and care, about empowering others instead of consolidating power for yourself.
So when a member of Las Arañas, Madame Web‘s ill-advised magical natives, tells Cass Webb (Dakota Johnson), “When you take on the responsibility, great power will come,” it’s clear the production team has lost the plot.

Dakota Johnson and Henry Cavill’s big box office releases of 2024 were major misses at the theaters. Despite its ensemble cast, Cavill’s film with Matthew Vaughn, Argylle, bombed at the box office. Dakota Johnson, on the other hand, tried her hands at the superhero genre with Madame Web but failed miserably and her film gained the new title of ‘worst comic book movie of all time’. Despite potentially losing millions for the studios, these films are currently among the top 5 movies of 2024.

Madame Web was among the most anticipated superhero movies of 2024. Not because the movie seemed interesting but more because of its concept and the live adaptation of one of the most intriguing characters in the Spider-verse. While Dakota Johnson did somewhat of a good job, receiving mixed reactions, the movie has been yet another failed entry into the long list of failed Marvel movies, that has significantly increased since the last year.

And while that’s not an incorrect assessment, it’s also an incomplete one.

In the midst of this, most netizens and fans expressed their fury and appeared to be truly angered by her response, attacking her for why Madame Web has been performing so badly.

During the promotional run for Madame Web, which is scheduled to sling its web into theatres from tomorrow, Dakota Johnson has mostly seemed unenthused about Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu)’s fourth title.
Instead of hyping up the titular character’s origin story and shedding light on what fans can expect from Sony’s standalone universe, Johnson has used her tour to criticize Hollywood’s reluctance to embrace creativity, taken aim at the “nepo baby” controversy, and told fans how “psychotic” the experience of working with a blue screen was.

Her recent response when asked about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies has also not gone down well with fans of the Cbm genre. Regardless, Johnson’s followers continue to eat, with their eyes closed, whatever she has been serving.

Warning: this article will contain spoilers for "Madame Web"
One might hesitate to refer to S.J. Clarkson's new film "Madame Web" as a superhero movie. There is very little in the way of costumed vigilantism, and the only time the four central Spider-Women are seen in full superheroine regalia, making any use of their superpowers, they are merely glimpsed in flash-forwards. Indeed, audiences are never told how three of the four Spider-Women even get their powers; we're merely assured that they will be superheroes someday. It's a pre-origin-story origin story.
The only other spandex-clad fighter we meet is Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim), the film's villain. Just like in Peter Parker's and Miles Morales' origin stories, Ezekiel also gained superpowers from a specialized spider bite back in 1973, giving him wall-crawling abilities, super strength, and a powerful Spider-Sense. In "Madame Web," Ezekiel's Spider-Sense isn't just a tingle to warn him of danger.

Few could look away when a nearly naked Dakota Johnson stepped onto the red carpet for the world premiere of Madame Web. The 34-year-old has been a brand ambassador for Gucci since 2017, so it’s no surprise that Johnson received a sparkling custom gown from the Italian brand for the Sony Marvel movie screening.

Known for dressing with stars Scarlett Johansson, Selena Gomez, and Julianne Moore, Kate Young styled Johnson for the Madame Web premiere. She honored the spidery theme with a web-like gown encrusted in crystals, almost like water drops on a spider web.
Johnson wore a nude bodysuit with a plunging necklace to match the form of her spaghetti-strap dress.

Madame Web filmmaker Sj Clarkson is both persistent and prolific. The British director has helmed at least 109 episodes of television from 2001 until now. She cut her teeth to the tune of 37 episodes on a British medical soap known as Doctors, but that experience eventually paved the way for the likes of Dexter, Orange Is the New Black and Succession. (Her first episode of Dexter ended with John Lithgow’s iconic line of, “Hello, Dexter Morgan.”)
In recent years, Clarkson’s efforts to mount projects on a massive scale have tested her patience, as her Naomi Watts-led Game of Thrones prequel pilot, Bloodmoon, didn’t go, nor did her version of Star Trek 4 in 2018. Nevertheless, Clarkson’s feature directorial debut, Madame Web, is now arriving in theaters on Feb. 14, and she never imagined that her first film would take place in a universe that’s related to Spider-Man.
