Sydney Sweeney’s Madame Web Character Means Unfortunate Things For The MCU
Sydney Sweeney’s rumored role in Sony’s Madame Web might portend bad things for the MCU’s future. Madame Web is one of the upcoming films coming up in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe that started with Venom. While the SSU is currently missing their eponymous hero, thanks to Sony’s deal presumably keeping Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the MCU, that doesn’t mean it will stay that way forever. After Spider-Man: No Way Home brought back Andrew Garfield, there's hope that he can get the second shot he rightfully deserves. If they can make it work, he’d be the perfect uniting figure for the wayward and confusing franchise.
Madame Web is the perfect example of the strangely bold choices Sony is making in building their own franchise. While it came as a surprise that a supporting Spider-Man character would be getting her own movie, Madame Web’s cast is intriguingly enticing, and given the potential storyline, the film might just be what the SSU needs. Dakota Johnson stars as the titular clairvoyant, and she is joined by Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, and Sydney Sweeney. The Euphoria star is becoming more of a household name, and her role may be pivotal to the franchise at large, but more interestingly, even the MCU may feel affected by Sweeney’s character.
