New superhero movie announced by Sony, Madame Web!

Madame Web will be starring in her own movie as Sony announced plans for a Madame Web feature film. Rumors have been circulating that the movie will focus on Julia Carpenter as she is being trained to take over the role of Madame Web from Cassandra Webb.

For those unfamiliar with the character, Cassandra Webb was a mutant with vast psychic powers who suffered from blindness and a degenerative muscular disease that confined her to a mechanical life support web. Calling herself Madame Web, she was a valued friend of  Spider-Man and used her gifts of precognition, clairvoyance, and telepathy to guide him.

While she briefly regained her youth and mobility due to a magical ritual, Cassandra soon found herself reverted to her true age and then died at the hands of of the Kravinoff family. In her last moments, Cassandra  passed her powers  to Julia Carpenter AKA Arachne (and the second Spider-Woman) and made her the new Madame Web.

If the rumors are true, then Julia will be using her powers as Madame Web to open up the Web of Reality and explore parallel dimensions, possibly allowing Tom Holland's Spider-Man to travel to the Sony cinematic universe.
