Dakota Johnson tagged Marvel Studios in an Insta post about this.

Probably just mistaking Marvel Studios for Marvel in general, but what if this is the secret Marvel/Sony film Olivia Wilde is making?

I mean, Olivia has said that she's talked with Feige about the film and why should she do that if they aren't involved.....

I don't know. Haven't heard anything about Olivia Wilde in awhile.

I mean, she's working on post-production on Don't Worry Darling and about to work on pre-production on another film so those are probably why no one's heard anything about her for awhile. Too busy working on her films.

The trades say this is supposed to be directed by SJ Clarkson, a tv director, instead of Olivia Wilde though.

If Wilde is doing anything, I think it'll wind up being a Black Cat film.

Dakota Johnson to Star in ‘Madame Webb’ for Sony

I think this is going to be Sony's first real mistake in their Sony Spider Verse. It sounds like they are only taking the name "Madam Webb" and making her Sony's version of Doctor Strange. I think this will have even less interest in it than Morbius and Kraven.

Sony's first female Spider-Verse movie should have been Black Cat. Could've done it as a heist film.

Ah, well that blows my theory sky high...

Wilde's film could also be Spider-Woman since that's in a weird place rights-wise with Marvel Studios and is why Wilde's talking with Feige about it.

I could make a Suspiria joke over Dakota Johnson being cast but I feel like not many people would get it and that's a shame.

Sydney Sweeney joins Sony's Madame Web

After a breakout year that included starring roles in HBO’s The White Lotus and Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney is now ready to jump into Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters. Sources tell Deadline that she has joined Dakota Johnson in Sony Pictures’ Madame Web. S.J. Clarkson is on board to direct the pic. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless penned the screenplay, with Kerem Sanga also penning a previous draft.

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. Insiders say due to her psychic sensory powers, she is essentially Sony’s version of Doctor Strange. It is unknown who Sweeney will be playing in the film.


Sony is coming off a hot streak with Venom: Let There Be Carnage making more than $500 million worldwide, while Spider-Man: No Way Home was the biggest film of 2021 with $1.85 billion in worldwide sales.

Not only is Sweeney on one of the hottest shows of the year in Euphoria (HBO recently announced it is the network’s second most-viewed show behind only Game of Thrones), she clearly came away as one of the big winners from this season and has quickly jumped to the top of every major studio lists for young rising stars. Sources say Sweeney had been weighing several offers in recent weeks, but the opportunity to join Johnson in what would be the first female-centric film in this universe was too good to pass up.

Sweeney has had a busy 12 months that started with her scene-stealing role on another hit HBO series White Lotus. On the film side she had starring roles in The Voyeurs for Amazon and Blumhouse’s Nocturne. She is currently filming Tony Tost’s National Anthem, which also stars Simon Rex and Halsey.

She is repped by Paradigm and Hansen Jacobson Teller.

Eh, nah. I'm still holding out hope for Samara Weaving.



Also something to note, Sydney also tagged Marvel Studios in her Insta post like Dakota did. Wonder if Feige's actually working on the film...

Samara is a solid choice.
Lol just saw that. Either he is or they're very ill informed.
