MADAME WEB - Teaser Trailer | Marvel Studios & Sony Pictures | Vworld International

The inspiration behind this video: Dakota Johnson confirms her Madame Web casting for Sony's upcoming Spider-Man spinoff movie in a new social media post. Sony has been building its own Marvel shared universe for the last few years. This effort took off when Venom became a surprise box office hit in 2018, which led to Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Jared Leto's Morbius, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter entering development. Sony also started looking into its library of Marvel characters for other heroes and villains to adapt. The studio eventually pinpointed Madame Web as another hero worthy of their own movie. Development on Madame Web began in 2019 when Sony hired Morbius writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless to pen the script. It was then announced in 2020 that Jessica Jones director S.J. Clarkson would be at the helm of Sony's first female-led Marvel movie. With COVID-19 dramatically altering the studio's plans for Sony's Spider-Man Universe, it wasn't surprising that development on Madame Web became very quiet. That changed in a big way recently when reports surfaced that Dakota Johnson was in talks to lead the movie.
