There's still a lot of secrecy surrounding Sony Pictures' Madame Web movie, and even though some set photos and supposed plot leaks have done the rounds, no official announcement has been made about the Marvel Comics characters that'll be introduced in the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off.

We do know that Dakota Johnson is playing a version of the title character, and co-star Sydney Sweeney is believed to have been cast as Julia Carpenter, who may (or may not) ultimately suit-up as Spider-Woman down the line.

While speaking to Total Film, Sweeney remained tight-lipped about her character, but did share her enthusiasm for fans to finally get to see the movie for themselves.

"I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to be able to talk about it. I can't wait to be able to be next to the girls that I filmed with – Dakota and Isabela, and Celeste. We had so much fun together. And I'm really excited that it's just gonna be a powerhouse of badass females for the world to see."

The Euphoria star also revealed that she jumped at the chance to join the project because she's been a superhero fan for most of her life.

"Superheroes have been my entire life!" she added. "Those [films] are all my parents ever wanted to go see. I think I've seen The Avengers probably 20, 30-plus times. My family, they love [them]... I could not have made them happier choosing to do that project [Madame Web]."

In the comics, Carpenter became the second Madame Web after the original, Cassandra Webb, was killed by Sarah and Ana Kravinoff. Again, she did also take up the mantle of Spider-Woman, but Sweeney is not expected to play the lead in Olivia Wilde's solo Spider-Woman movie, which is still believed to be in development.

Madame Web also stars Isabela Merced, Celeste O'Connor, Adam Scott, Emma Roberts and Tahar Rahim. S.J. Clarkson (The Defenders) directed from a screenplay by Morbius scribes Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
