“Madame Web” is a 2024 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Starring Dakota Johnson, the film chronicles the origins of Cassandra Webb, a psychic on a mission to protect three teenage girls from the villain Ezekiel Sims. “Madame Web” garnered significant buzz from audiences, both die-hard Marvel fans and newcomers, due to its star-studded cast and its introduction of a new world from Sony’s Spider-Man universe.
