A rumored run-time for Madame Web recently did the rounds online, and while it wasn't far off the mark, a Norwegian ticketing company website has now revealed exactly how long the movie will clock-in at.

According to the site, Madame Web will run for (removed at the request of the studio) with credits, making it the longest Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) movie yet. The record was previously held by 2018's Venom (112 mins), with the other SSU films, Morbius (2022) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), clocking in at 104 minutes and 97 minutes respectively.

There's obviously not much in it, but it is interesting that none of these movies have passed the 2-hour mark, while only a handful of MCU entries have come in under 120 minutes. We may be seeing this trend start to change, however.

Marvel Studios' most recent big-screen release, The Marvels, was the shortest MCU movie yet - not that it made much of a difference to the box office.

Dakota Johnson stars as the clairvoyant Cassandra Webb, who uses her abilities to save a group of young woman, played by Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor, from a villainous Spider-Man lookalike known as Ezekiel Simms.

The girls Webb is doing her best to keep safe, Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin and Anya Corazón, are all destined to become heroes with Spider-like powers of their own.

The movie also stars Emma Roberts and Adam Scott, who are believed to be playing Peter Parker's mother, Mary, and beloved Uncle Ben. 

Sony also has a third Venom movie slated for Nov. 8, 2024, and Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, coming on Aug. 30, 2024. El Muerto, which was set to star Bad Bunny, has reportedly been dropped from the schedule.

"'Meanwhile, in another universe...'" reads the official synopsis, "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."

S.J. Clarkson, who also helmed Marvel’s Jessica Jones and The Defenders, directs from a script by Matt Sazama, Kerem Sazama and Burk Sharpless. Adam Merims executive produced.

Madame Web will swing into theaters on Feb. 14, 2024.

@bobevanz - Barely of any of these are the main character in their respsective movies though, the marvels had 3 female leads, so not sure i get the point?

@bobevanz -
They should have streamlined it. Scrap the supporting female leads. Have the villain solely after Madame Web because he knows she'll end his life in the future. Madame Web, in the profession of saving lives and being granted a power that allows her to go back and try again in order to ensure she saves lives, has to come to terms with the fact that she'll eventually be responsible for the death of someone. That no matter what she does her legacy will be that she kills the villain and that is what she'll be known for.

As for why the film will likely flop:
- Decline of the Marvel brand
- Female audiences don't tend to be the main supporters of female Superhero movies
- Morbius has damaged the Sony brand reputation
- The visuals look more akin to a TV series at times
- It's being released around Valentines Day but the film is marketed as more akin to Terminator and leans on horror movie tropes of an unstoppable ever following villain who is out to end the lives of the heroes before they become a problem for them in the future

None of the problems with this film are because the characters are female.

The budget is estimated to be around $80m and I think actually including characters with Spider-man like powers might actually benefit the film a little. I could also see people enjoying it for being bad.

Didnt know this will be on Valentine's day. A good date movie and might beat The Marvels box office lol.

On a side note, i went back to check the tantrums by mark on that Rey article and it was gone 😅

@vectorsigma - I have zero intention of paying to see this in theaters, but the V-Day release is smart. Not sure if it’ll do more than $200 million though.

@mountainman - how many dudes will get to go to the movies because they convinced their girl that this film has to be romantic since it comes out on V-Day? Of course, afterwards his girl will be mad that it was just another superhero flick and the dude will not be getting laid.
mountainman
mountainman - 1/17/2024, 11:08 PM
@lazlodaytona - I almost pictured the opposite. This movie seems aimed at more of a female audience than a male one.

@tb86 - 100% with you. I can't help feeling it "may" be ok after watching the trailers and tv spots but then I remember it's Sony. ughhh

tb86 - 1/18/2024, 6:38 AM
@lazlodaytona - true, but Sony was also partly responsible for the MCU Spider-Man movies and 100% responsible for the Spider-Verse ones and they were all good.

@tb86 - Reading comprehension helps or reading carefully. For some reason I assumed that you were talking about the Raimi movies and moved on. My bad. That said, I don’t think they have that much to do with the production of the MCU Spider-Man movies. How they are able to produce great animated movies and terrible live action movies is beyond me. I can understand some difference of quality because they are different types of movies, and lots of ways, but not the incredibly vast differences in quality.

I bet anything that this movie will make at least as many million nickels as the Marvels did!

I at least applaud sony for the patience and restraint. They know they had a homerun with nwh. But they still save the big guns for the main titles

If this was an MCU project, theyd throw in all the spiderman cameos for fanservice due to desperation.

@vectorsigma - No Way Home was desperation? Because it too is an MCU project.

@EskimoJ - no, that is not what i meant

This EPIC film needs that longer run time!
This is is this generation's Endgame!
The best superhero movie since The Dark Knight!
I'm predicting $300 Gorillion dollars on opening weekend! 🤣

@Feralwookiee - be prepared to be epically let down then

@lazlodaytona - Hey, I was married once.
I know all about being epically let down.

So, it'll only make $299 gorillion dollars on its' opening weekend?
