Sony remains committed to continuing the Spider-Verse in theaters and seems to have already chosen who will be the protagonist of its next superhero movie. Actress Dakota Johnson (50 shades of gray) is being tipped to star in the feature Madame Web.
According to Deadline, the actress is the studio’s top pick from a very short list of names. In addition, Sony would be committed to betting on a comic book movie starring a heroine and, it seems, the uncertainty may be near the end.
And the most curious thing is that, in the comics, Madame Teia is a character that doesn’t remember at all the protagonist of 50 shades of gray. That’s because she always appeared as a blind old woman with a degenerative disease that ends up developing almost mystical and psychic powers.

This may indicate that the heroine’s unexpected film would be something much more focused on her transformation into the classic comic book figure, showing the character still as Cassandra Webb fighting the disease and developing her powers until she becomes the elderly woman who helps Peter Parker in the comic books. .
So much so that, as some sources have stated to Deadline, Sony’s idea is to make the film generate some derivatives. This may mean that the introduction of Madame Web is precisely this attempt to establish the Spider-Verse, being the point that will connect the other characters to which the studio holds the rights.
However, so far, nothing has been confirmed. The only concrete thing is that Madame Web is going to win a movie and that it will be directed by SJ Clarkson (Anatomy of a Scandal), but no release date.
