How do Spider-Man and Madame Web relate?
Although Madame Web belongs to Sony’s Spider-Man universe, it operates independently and is not bound to the MCU. The story focuses on Cassandra Webb, played by Dakota Johnson. The plot revolves around Cassie’s clairvoyant abilities, which she gained after her mother was bitten by a mysterious spider, making her a target of Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim).

Simms, who himself gained powers from a spider bite, attempts to eliminate three teenagers, Julia Cornish (Sidney Sweeney), Maddie Franklin (Celeste O’Connor), and Anya Corazon (Isabella Merced), before they gain spider-related powers.
Notably, the film introduces characters such as Ben Parker (Adam Scott) and Mary Parker (Emma Roberts), hinting at a future Uncle Ben and Peter Parker’s mother. The story takes place in 2003, suggesting a unique take on Peter’s origins, but the concept of the multiverse makes it distinct from the MCU. Director SJ Clarkson emphasized Madame Web’s independence, avoiding forced connections and focusing on Cassandra’s narrative.
While Spider-Mrs. Spider-Man is part of Sony’s Marvel Universe of characters, its films have limited connections between them and stray from typical superhero movie conventions by omitting a post-credits scene that hints at a crossover.

Director Clarkson said he had the freedom to shape the film independently, giving priority to new and original perspectives. It remains uncertain whether the character of Cassandra will reappear in future projects, but Mrs. Webber’s insight is unpredictable.

Mrs. Weber
Mrs. Spider-Man is a 2024 superhero film produced by Columbia Pictures and di Bonaventura Pictures in association with Marvel Entertainment and TSG Entertainment, and is the fourth installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU).
The Marvel Comics adaptation is directed by SJ Clarkson from a screenplay by Claire Parker and the team of Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Dakota Johnson stars, along with Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts and Adam Scott.
The story follows Casey Webb (Johnson) as she struggles to deal with her past while trying to protect the futures of three young women from Ezekiel Sims (Rahim). Sony initiated development of Madame Web in September 2019, hiring Sazama and Sharpless to write the screenplay. Clarkson took the helm in May 2020, making her feature film directorial debut, with Johnson set to star in early 2022.
The suspense thriller unfolds Mrs. Web’s origin story in a unique universe, taking on a down-to-earth and gritty tone not often seen in traditional superhero films. Filming took place from mid-July to the end of 2022 in Massachusetts (including Boston) and New York City, with Clarkson and Parker’s involvement in the screenplay announced in November 2023.
Mrs. Web premiered on February 12, 2024, at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Los Angeles, and was released in the United States on February 14, but was critically acclaimed.

What is the relationship between the Spider-Man movies and Spider-Man?
Mrs. Spider-Man is an upcoming film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU), which is distinct from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and serves as a pivotal entry in the franchise.
The film revolves around Dakota Johnson’s character Cassandra Webb, a mutant and clairvoyant superheroine with extrasensory abilities to gather magical information. While the original Mrs. Webb was a blind old woman hooked up to a spider-webbed life support system, the film focuses on Johnson’s character.
Due to the poor reception of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, many Spider-Man projects faced cancellation. However, Sony Pictures rebounded by establishing SSU, a series themed around Mrs. Web’s superhero journey. Interestingly, Mrs. Web’s powers are connected to the multiverse, providing endless storytelling possibilities.
The film shares a universe with Morbius and Venom, aligning with the wider narrative of Sony’s Spider-Man projects and becoming one of Marvel’s most noteworthy films in 2024. Mrs. Spider-Man was included in the upcoming Spider-Man film lineup, promising to explore the rich crossover opportunities within the SSU.
