Dakota Johnson has been cast to play Julia Carpenter (the second Madame Web) in Sony's new Madame web film. Dakota confirmed her casting on Instagram with a simple web emoji.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Julia Carpenter was a psychic web spinning super hero who took on the identity of Spider-Woman when the original (Jessica Drew) lost her powers. Julia later took the code name of Arachne. When Cassandra Web (the original Madame Web) was fatally injured she used the psychic nature of Julia's powers to transfer her own psychic powers into Julia and made her the new Madame Web.
As Madame Web, Julia has her original powers of psychokinetic energy webs (her psi-webs) and the power to cling to walls with her psionic energy, along with the clairvoyant powers of Cassandra Web and her link to the Web of Reality.
The prevailing rumor is that the Madame Web film will have Julia explore the Web of Reality to introduce the Spider-Verse.
