Sony's Marvel universe, which consists of Spider-Man, Morbius, Venom, has officially expanded now that Madame Web is finally in cinemas. While it's loosely linked to the aforementioned friendly neighborhood web-slinger, which we dive into below, the new movie introduces an all-new character to the series: Cassie Webb.
Directed by Jessica Jones' S. J. Clarkson, the flick centers on a New York-based 30-something paramedic (Dakota Johnson), who inexplicably finds herself with clairvoyant abilities following a near-death experience. Onboard a train one evening, she sees a horrifying vision of a man murdering three young women and saves them all by intervening, thrusting the foursome into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the would-be killer – setting her on a path to become the psychic superhero Madame Web.
