Sony Pictures continues to build its Spider-Man Universe adjacent to the MCU, adding new characters into the mix like Tom Hardy’s Venom and Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter. Currently in the spotlight is the little-known Madame Web, who will star in her feature film debut next year with Fifty Shades of Grey’s Dakota Johnson in the leading role.
Madame Web is still shrouded in plenty of mystery, even as cameras begin to roll ahead of the movie’s October 6, 2023, debut in theaters. Johnson will have a stellar cast surrounding her thanks to the efforts of Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney and Parks and Recreation’s Adam Scott, although there is still no word regarding what roles they will actually play in this Spider-Man spin-off outing.
This new entry will reportedly give Madame Web a proper origin story within Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, but how the story comes together is still largely unknown as production gets underway. Even though that’s still the case with the latest update, fans now have their first official look at Dakota Johnson as she makes her superhero movie debut with Sony.
Dakota Johnson Seen on Madame Web Set
Twitter user @dakotaj_updates shared the first look at Dakota Johnson on the set of Sony Pictures’ Madame Web, in which she plays the titular character.
The first video is only seven seconds long and shows Johnson poking her head out of a door, which appears to be to an undisclosed hotel or similar building. She’s dressed in a red leather coat with the rest of her ensemble being all black:
