Dakota Johnson In “Madame Web” plays a little-known character from the Spider-Verse who previously only appeared in the “Amazing Spider-Man” comics. Now she’s getting her own film, which introduces us to a whole group of future Spider-Girls and Spider-Women.
Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson) is a paramedic who suffers a traumatic accident at work one day. Since then she has been able to predict the future and change it. When a person from her past emerges, she is the only hope for Julia Cornwall (Sydney Sweeney), Anya Corazon (Isabelle Merced) and Mattie Franklin (Celeste O’Connor), three teenage girls hunted by Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim). , so that they cannot fulfill their true destiny.
The film version of “Madame Web” deviates from the comics, in which this character is portrayed as an elderly, blind and paralyzed woman who is kept alive by a machine, but has full control of her abilities as a clairvoyant. However, the film adaptation tells the story of how this character came about in his younger years.
“Madame Web,” directed by director SJ Clarkson, shows the world of superheroes with a more realistic approach, with less skin-tight costumes and more real feelings. Cassie is a millennial who hates her mother and is often annoyed by the behavior and sayings of her three Gen Z charges. After the first half hour, which drags on a bit, “Madame Web” delivers good action and a look at some relatively unknown Marvel characters who definitely deserve this attention.
