Though he's got a couple of mammoth hits on his resume, he was also in charge of a few big-time comic book movie misses in the guise of Ben Affleck's Daredevil and its spinoff Elektra, 2005's Fantastic Four and its dreadful sequel, and The Amazing Spider-Man reboot films that basically led Sony to turn the franchise over to Kevin Feige and Team Marvel. Although, the reports saying that she’ll serve as the Doctor Strange of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe also suggest she’ll still be the mystical, mysterious figure on-screen that fans know her to be.Historically speaking, Arad's track record for comic book adaptations has been spotty at best. The choice implies that Johnson’s Madame Web may be more involved in the action than the character is in the comics. Now, it’s worth noting that the comics almost always depict Madame Web as an elderly woman, which makes Sony’s decision to cast Dakota Johnson in the role unexpected, to say the least. The first time was notably at the hands of Kraven the Hunter’s wife. Unfortunately, her briefly reclaimed youth is quickly stolen from her by her granddaughter, Charlotte Witter (who takes on the mantle of Spider-Woman at one point).Īdditionally, despite being gifted with immortality, Webb has died not just once but twice in the comics. She goes on in the comics to frequently help Peter Parker, and during a meeting known as the Gathering of the Five, Webb is even imbued with immortality. When she’s an adult, she first meets Spider-Man by using her psychic powers to help him find some criminals he’s after, only to later reveal to him that she’s aware he’s secretly Peter Parker. Her physical state results in Webb developing strong psychic abilities, making her a medium.
In the comics, Cassandra Webb was born blind and with a condition known as myasthenia gravis, an actual disease that can make a person’s muscles extremely weak and prone to fatigue. Madame Web makes her debut in Amazing Spider-Man Vol.
