LOS ANGELES (AP) — Director S.J. Clarkson was immediately intrigued by the unique power possessed by the superhero Madame Web. Unlike other superheroes who rely on superhuman strength or wealth, Cassandra Webb's power lies in her clairvoyance. This aspect fascinated Clarkson, who saw an opportunity to explore the idea that one doesn't need extraordinary physical abilities to be a superhero.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Clarkson discussed the challenge of depicting clairvoyance in the film. To gain inspiration, she revisited movies such as 'Don't Look Now,' 'Memento,' 'Inception,' and 'The Matrix,' which effectively portrayed similar concepts. Clarkson aimed to create a thrilling and eerie atmosphere, drawing from elements of horror.
