‘Madame Web’ is the latest addition to the Ssu, but it didn’t include Spider-Man. The movie wasn’t successful, both commercially and critically. The lead actress even admitted she probably wouldn’t do something like this again, and the rest of the cast distanced themselves from it.
When the movie first came out, Dakota Johnson mentioned that the script underwent significant changes, and it wasn’t what she initially agreed to. ‘Madame Web’ exists in its own standalone universe and is set in 2003.
We’ve witnessed the birth of Peter Parker, or at least one iteration of him. However, according to pre-release rumors and leaks, he was initially intended to appear in the movie. Leaked concept art seems to support these claims, showing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in a battle against Ezekiel Sims.

Seth Rogen has carved out a very unique niche for himself. As a producer, Rogen has been at the helm of some very successful adaptations of superhero comics like Invincible, The Boys, Tmnt, and Gen V. However, the actor-producer has been public about his reluctance towards working with superhero giants like Marvel and DC, but it looks like that might change with the latest project that he has put in development.
Venom, as he appears in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
It has been reported that Seth Rogen is developing yet another Spider-Man universe, this time focused on Venom, in the form of an R-rated animated film, which will be distinct from Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man, Tom Hardy’s Sony Venom series of films and Sony’s animated Spider-Verse films. Given Rogen’s track record with R-rated comic book properties, it seems the project is in good hands, which...

Rolling Stone UK’s latest cover features Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, who is set to have a busy final few months in 2024. In addition to playing the lead in Sony’s superhero film Kraven the Hunter (opening in theaters on August 30), he will be joining Bill Skarsgård in the horror movie Nosferatu, helmed by Robert Eggers (releasing on December 25).
Oh, did we mention he also has a supporting role in David Leitch’s flick The Fall Guy, which will arrive on May 3? Recently, the actor has been in the news for his fervent promotion of the upcoming Sony project, Kraven the Hunter. However, it appears that his efforts are falling flat with fans, as he employs the same trope that audiences have grown tired of.

It’s been a big week for trailers already, with new trailers for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Star Wars: The Acolyte dropping today, and tomorrow will be no exception. Judging by a tweet from Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez, the first trailer for the highly anticipated Alien sequel will finally be released tomorrow. I can’t wait!
Set between the events of Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus will follow “a group of young people on a distant world who find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.” The film stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Industry), Isabela Merced (Madame Web), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (The Batman), and Aileen Wu (Away from Home). In addition to directing the movie, Fede Álvarez also co-wrote the script alongside Rodo Sayagues.

By now, everyone knows that Ezekiel Sims "was in the Amazon with Cassie's (Dakota Johnson) mom when she was researching spiders right before she died," but is that all we really need to know about the man who seems to be a major "Madame Web" villain? The power of an instantly popular meme goes a long way, so even once Sony's new Spider-Man spinoff hits theaters and reveals more about Sims, I'm pretty sure some of us will still remember him as the guy who Witawmmwswrsrbsd (for short).
Outside of his mysterious Amazon-set origin story, though, who is Ezekiel Sims? Is he a villain, as he seems to be when he appears repeatedly in Cassies' life, seemingly terrorizing teens at a diner and showing up barefoot on a subway train (the real crime) to throw random passengers around? Or is there something else going on here? "Madame Web" seems...

A trailer for Madame Web, the latest entry in Sony’s divisive live-action Spider-Verse, has finally dropped, giving us a hint of the movie’s intriguing time-travel plot, the young women set to develop spidey powers, and the villain hunting them all – Ezekiel Sims. But another thing that the Madame Web trailer has given us is a first look at who Adam Scott will be playing. His name is technically not uttered in the trailer, but according to IMDb he will be playing an important character in the Spider-Verse – Ben Parker.
Most people know Ben Parker as Uncle Ben, the man who raised Peter Parker alongside his wife May after the death of Peter’s parents. Uncle Ben has been played by Cliff Robertson in the Tobey Maguire-led Spider-Man films and Martin Sheen in the Andrew Garfield-led Amazing Spider-Man movies, but has not yet been shown in the McU-connected Spider-Man movies.

Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson are entering the Spider-Verse.
Johnson leads Sony-produced “Spider-Man” film “Madame Web,” playing the title character alongside Sweeney’s Julia Carpenter, the Marvel Comics character who becomes Spider-Woman. Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, and Zosia Mamet round out the cast.
“A week ago, I spent my life racing against time,” Johnson says in the trailer while working as a paramedic, “trying to save people who were running out of it. Until one moment changed everything.”

Per the official synopsis: “Meanwhile, in another universe… In a switch from the typical genre, ‘Madame Web’ tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing’s most enigmatic heroines. The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb,...
