The Rise of Madame Web

Dakota Johnson is set to bring the titular character to life, alongside Sydney Sweeney who will play Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman.

The film boasts an impressive cast, including Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott. Tahar Rahim is set to play the Spider-Man-like villain, Ezekiel “Zeke” Sims. The trailer teases a four-women team-up, a fresh take in the superhero genre.
A Glimpse into the Trailer
The debut trailer offers a sneak peek into Madame Web’s abilities, showing her redoing a fight after foreseeing a defeat. This hints at an intriguing use of her clairvoyant powers throughout the movie.
