Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has been cast to play opposite Dakota Johnson in the Sony/Marvel Madame Web movie. With Dakota rumored to playing Julia Carpenter, speculations have begun about Sydney playing Charlotte Witter, the granddaughter of the original Madame Web and the evil Spider-Woman.
For those unfamiliar with this character, Charlotte Witter was the granddaughter of Cassandra Webb, the original Madame Web. A fashion designer who secretly worked with the sale of illegal goods, Charlotte's criminal activities put her in the tentacles of Doctor Octopus. Realizing her psychic potential, Doctor Octopus experimented on Charlotte and turned her into a human spider-hybrid with the purpose of hunting down anyone with spider-powers. Able to manifest psychic spider-legs from her back, drain spider-powered people of their powers, and hypnotize people, she stole the powers of original Spider-Woman Jessica Drew. the second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter, and new Spider-Woman Mattie Franklin. It took the combined might of Spider-Man, Madame Web, and the three depowered Spider-Women to stop her.
With her ties to both Cassandra Webb and Julia Carpenter, Charlotte Witter could likely be the villain of the Madame Web movie.
