MADAME WEB ScreenX Poster Teases A Potentially Familiar Spider; Director Compares Movie To JESSICA JONES

A new ScreenX poster for Madame Web has been released which includes a spider that may or may not have wider links to the Spider-Verse. We also have some interesting new comments from director SJ Clarkson.

Madame Web is just over two weeks away from swinging into theaters and, while most comic book fans are approaching Sony's latest Marvel movie with caution, there's no faulting this amazing new poster. 

Released to promote the movie's release on the ScreenX format, it teases the presence of a spider that...well, it could just be what Cassandra Webb's mom is researching in the Amazon or a hint that Madame Web has ties to the wider Spider-Verse and a certain wall-crawling superhero. 

Director SJ Clarkson recently caught up with Total Film and teased a "grounded" and "gritty" tone in Madame Web.

The filmmaker, who has helmed episodes of Jessica Jones and The Defenders, says Cassie is similar to Jess in the sense that they're both "loners" and "a little bit abrasive, a bit quirky, and on the outer edges of things". 

"With JJ, she had PTSD. That [sense of] reality to it was its success in a way. I suppose it's the same with Madame Web," she adds.

With only a single trailer released for the movie, we don't know what to expect.

That teaser generated a lot of memes, but beyond that, the previews have only really promised a relatively straightforward origin story for the title character which is made a little more intriguing by the presence of the Spider-Women; hopefully, they get more than just a few seconds of screentime suited up in this "grounded" adventure. 

Check out this newly released Madame Web poster in the X post below.

Meanwhile, in another universe...In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing's most enigmatic heroines.

The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures...if they can all survive a deadly present.

SJ Clarkson directs from a screenplay she wrote with Claire Parker. Morbius scribes Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless are also expected to be credited for their work on the script, though it's currently unclear which draft they wrote. The movie's confirmed cast members include Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Madame Web arrives in theaters worldwide on February 14.

@HammerLegFoot - Notice how they didn't undercut the casting of Supergirl? Maybe things are gonna be different now that the head of DC and the head of Marvel are friends.

Might get it soon though. Maybe in the next couple of weeks.

It feels like the marketing for this film is pretty solid compared to Aquaman and The Marvels. The strike and WBs lack of interest certainly hurt what they could do.

This movie will make Morbius look like Citizen Kane.

Look ar your local theaters. Cinemark and amc opening weekend has a total of 10 tickets for all showings that Thursday through Sunday lol. Some of these are probably placeholders as well, they do that. Imax showings at most have two people lol. GG Sony

@bobevanz - way to support the genre.

You buy your tickets yet?

@bobevanz - in fairness, it's two weeks out and it aint exactly Endgame. The fact that tickets are sold at all at some of the theatres around me is kind of shocking.

I've maintained this movie is going to be a word of mouth movie. I think it will probably have a pretty terrible opening weekend (unless reviews come back amazing) and then if it's actually good it will build and have legs. If it's atrocious, it's going to be one of the biggest bombs this genre has seen

bobevanz - 1/30/2024, 2:08 PM
@Itwasme - this isn't my genre lol I've participated since 08, before if you count the other cbm movies. You don't have to blindly follow like a sheep either, and no I haven't. Couldn't care less, this will be another Morbius
bobevanz
bobevanz - 1/30/2024, 2:09 PM
@SATW42 - word of mouth only works if it's good, the chances are astronomical lol. I'll tell you, every movie before Endgame I had to reserve months ahead for the perfect season on opening night. Since Endgame it doesn't even matter, that should tell you something

@bobevanz - yeah, the marketplace has changed. I used to have a hard time getting tickets in my area for any movie, not just marvel. Now I can basically just walk up, which people forget is what the film industry was for years until fandango.

Jessica Jones S1 or Jessica Jones S2-3, because they’re two wildly different Jessica Jones

Only saw season one.

What’s the differences between that and the other seasons?
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 1/30/2024, 5:32 PM
@HulkisHoly - Quality. It’s night and day, and the drop off is steep. Do yourself a favour and don’t even bother with the other seasons. They’re that bad.
HulkisHoly
HulkisHoly - 1/30/2024, 6:28 PM

We don’t agree on some topics but I’ll take your word for it on this one.

OT You think Superman Legacy will be good or a bomb?
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 1/30/2024, 6:33 PM
@HulkisHoly - I think it’ll be amazing, but I won’t be surprised if it underperforms. But… with good reviews and the right response, I think the franchise can live on. I’m more concerned for the non-Gunn directed projects. We knows he’s a capable filmmaker, but we’ve yet to see if he’s got what it takes to run the show like that, good ideas or not - and I’m not completely sold on how he’s building this thing out, either.
HulkisHoly
HulkisHoly - 1/30/2024, 6:59 PM
@FireandBlood -

I pretty much agree 100%. I’m also optimistic for it and think it’ll be better than most peoples expectations. I don’t think it’ll be Logan or TDK good but maybe as good as Spider-Man 2 or Iron Man if we are lucky.

I’m also cautious about the universe but I think what Gunn has been saying makes sense to me. The only part that I’m worried about, is them starting with an old Batman again. I really hope they make him young for having a 12 year old ninja son. Like make him 18 when he impregnated Talia while training as a ninja. So I mean he could be as young as 31.

Lois says about a pissing contest
A jar of piss
Aquaman gets pissed on

What else?

@marvel72 - Lois asking where to pee, wheelchair guy says he can’t stand to pee, the Shazam ones where they talk about Roman’s brushing teeth with urine and Shazam saying he doesn’t know how to pee. Peacemaker had a pee quote and the Aquaman 2 pee jokes 🤣
