In the Marvel comics, Madame Web is an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis and is connected to a life-support system that resembles a spider web. As a result of her age and health condition, the character has never fought any villains. It is thus possible that the film might deviate from the original storyline. Insiders speculate that her psychic powers will make her Sony’s answer to Doctor Strange.
Madame Web is scheduled for release on July 7, 2023.
