Madame Web hasn't exactly webbed up much in the way of critical acclaim or box office records since opening last Wednesday, but it would be unfair to say nothing about Sony's latest Marvel movie worked.
For example, while their screentime was limited, the costumes worn by Madame Web's leads looked pretty spectacular in action. Thanks to artist Imogene Chayes, we now have concept art featuring the title character (Dakota Johnson), Spider-Woman (Sydney Sweeney), and Spider-Girl (Celeste O'Connor).
"I had an absolute blast working on this project," Chayes says. "How can designing super suits for a gang of hot ladies not be fun? I got to work with one of my all time favorite costume designers, Ngila Dickson, who really gave me the room to play with all of the style lines for these suits."
Describing Spider-Man as her "favorite," the artist added, "We decided to stick with her bold, graphic style from the comics."
As for Mattie, Chayes calls her "such a fun character to work on" and explains, "I had a particularly fun time working with Ngila to flesh out the style lines for this suit, as well as giving her a cheeky attitude." Unfortunately, we don't currently have any designs for Araña.
Like Morbius, we haven't seen much in the way of merchandise for Madame Web. That movie at least got a Hot Toys figure, but it appears there are no plans for any of the Spider-Women to get their own action figures, a surprise given the increased popularity of female-focused toys in recent years.

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.
The movie stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.
Madame Web is now playing in theaters worldwide.
