in the titular role.<\/p>\n<p>Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria) has also been cast in the film as Julia Carpenter.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/tv\/features\/sydney-sweeney-not-typecast-cassie-reality-white-lotus-interview-1235688915\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Variety <\/a>interview, Sweeney confirmed that she\u2019s playing the character, and said of Madame Web: \u201cI think it\u2019s different from what people expect a superhero movie to be. Quote that! That\u2019s a quote, because the tabloids will pick up everything else we talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast is also set to feature other famous faces including Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), Adam Scott (Severance), Emma Roberts (American Horror Story), Mike Epps (The Hangover), Celeste O\u2019Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Tahar Rahim (The Mauritanian) and Zosia Mamet (The Flight Attendant), who will all appear in as-yet-to-be-disclosed roles.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts appeared on\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/4urZDywVi1NSCxO439W8c1?si=772c090ebf7442fe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shut Up Evan Podcast<\/a> earlier this year and spoke about her upcoming role in the film.<\/p>\n<p>While she didn\u2019t reveal an awful lot about who she is playing, she teased the following: \u201cWhat I can tell you is I\u2019m not a superhero. Some people may think she\u2019s a superhero, but not\u2026 like, I don\u2019t have supernatural powers. So I can tell you that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Madame Web plot: What could it be about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Much of the plot remains under wraps but, in Marvel comics, the first Madame Web is Cassandra Webb, a blind woman from Salem, Oregon who suffers from neurological deterioration, which has left her mostly paralysed.<\/p>\n<p>However, she uses her psychic abilities to compensate,\u00a0which include telepathy, astral projection and seeing the future.<\/p>\n<p>The character is also known for her close association with the Spider-Women Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter.<\/p>\n<p>Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura previously promised a fresh origin story for the character, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/marvel\/news\/madame-web-spider-man-origin-story-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ComicBook.com<\/a>: \u201cSo, in that respect, if you\u2019re a Spider-Man fan, you\u2019re gonna love the character because you know it from the comic books, which she doesn\u2019t really have that big a character in the comic books, we\u2019re doing the origin story of Madame Web.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so you meet her before she\u2019s actually the person that you know in the comic book and you come to understand how she becomes that person. So, I think that\u2019ll be a really fresh new terrain for the fans.\u201d<\/p> <p>The inclusion of Julia Carpenter, who has a long legacy in Marvel Comics, also gives us some hints about what the story could be about.<\/p>\n<p>Carpenter was the second Madame Web and received her powers after the original was killed by Ana Kraven, the daughter of Kraven the Hunter and, while we can\u2019t say for certain how Sweeney\u2019s version of Carter could factor into the plot, it\u2019s possible that the film could revolve around the passing of the torch from one Madame Web to another.<b\/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Madame Web trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The official trailer is out now, teasing a team-up between the four main female characters and showcasing Web\u2019s clairvoyant abilities.
