Madame Web Easter eggs: The Marvel nods and Spider-Man references you might have missed

Dakota Johnson as Cassie in Madame Web.

Madame Web is now out in theaters, and although it’s billed as a standalone story, it sits very much in the middle of Sony’s Marvel universe. The new superhero flick introduces Cassandra Webb (played by Dakota Johnson), a New York City paramedic with a tragic past. After an accident, she starts having visions, including one where she sees the death of three young women. When fate throws them on the same path, she does all she can to save their lives from a mysterious killer named Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim). 

The movie is based on a Spider-Man character, and its story lives very much in Peter Parker’s world. Below, we delve into some of the biggest Madame Web Easter eggs nodding to the wider webbed universe, as well as some other neat movie references hidden in its nearly two-hour runtime. Needless to say though, we’ll be getting into big spoiler-territory from here on out, including major third-act reveals. So if you’ve not yet seen Sony’s latest, bookmark this page and head out to your nearest multiplex.
