After multiple shifts in the release date, Sony has fixed Valentine’s Day 2024 as the day Madame Web will finally hit the screens. Featuring Dakota Johnson in the titular role, Madame Web has a stellar ensemble including names like Sydney Sweeney, Emma Robers, Zosia Mamet, Tahar Rahim, and Mike Epps.
In the comics, Web is depicted as an old woman suffering from a severe autoimmune disorder called myasthenia gravis. Due to her illness, Web must always be connected to a life-support device. But her clairvoyant and psychic capabilities allow her to look within the spider world and occasionally aid the Spider-Man. This film, directed by SJ Clarkson, and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, will be an origins story for the character.
This is the first time Madame Web will appear in a live-action film. The release date has undergone a two-day bump up from the previously announced February 16 release. This change is one of the many changes in Sony’s roster after the SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild protests that have been rocking the industry for the past few weeks.
