A new logo for Madame Web has been revealed, with a red and blue spider casting the title character's shadow. This may mean a lot of nothing at all, but it's a surprisingly cool visual nonetheless.
The comic book version of this character didn't gain her powers from a spider, but with everyone from Aña Corazón to Mattie Franklin expected to factor into the story, it may well be the source of their abilities. It's hard to say given the secrecy surrounding the project, and little has been revealed ahead of its release next year.
Madame Web is an intriguing movie, that's for sure, and one that strongly suggests Sony plans to explore the mystical side of the Spider-Man mythos. How Peter Parker factors into all of this remains to be seen, though there are rumblings online the story takes place before the wall-crawler is even born.
In fact, between a number of rumours and what's been revealed seen in set photos, we have reason to believe a pregnant Mary Parker will be front and centre in the story, with Madame Web assembling a female group of heroes to protect her. One popular theory even suggests she's sent to the MCU, hence why that world has a Spider-Man and Sony's doesn't.
It's an intriguing concept, but not one we have much faith in the studio managing to pull off!
If Madame Web is going to explain why there is no Spider-Man in the reality inhabited by Venom and Morbius, that's certainly...unique. We just hope it doesn't negatively impact the MCU's web-slinger in any way, especially following comments last year from producer Avi Arad which saw him heavily criticise Sony for deciding to share Spidey with Marvel Studios.
S.J. Clarkson (The Defenders) is directing Madame Web from a screenplay by Morbius scribes Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Following another delay last year, the movie is currently expected to swing into theaters on February 16, 2024.
