Sydney Sweeney Talks Sony's Marvel 'Madame Web', Confirms Her Character

I'm astonished that they're bringing Julia Carpenter to the big screen. She's one of my all-time favorite characters, and she's been largely ignored in the comics since the mid-90's. Maybe for once, movie synergy will actually work in my favor, and they'll give her a more substantial role in the comics? I'd love to see her go back to being Arachne. Frankly, her role as Madame Web sucks, and it's been a complete waste of her character. She gets a premonition. It gives her a headache. The premonition ends up not coming true because Peter steps in to prevent it. Rinse and repeat. It's time to change the damn record, already. I'd kill to see her back as an Avenger, or even a Force Works revival (I know, probably not a chance in hell of either one ever happening).

so a younger Madame Web? that will take getting used to

Sydney Sweeney spoke with Variety about the success of HBOs Euphoria, and the discussion turned to her upcoming Marvel movie, with Sweeney confirming that she will take on the role of Julia Carpenter aka Spider-Woman opposite Dakota Johnson in the title role of Madame Web.

Quote

I was freaking out, of course, Sweeney recalls when she learned she was booked for the part. I went straight to the comic store, and I bought every comic that mentioned my character.

Sweeney is really hoping that Madame Web will break through and be different from what people have seen before.

Quote

I think its different from what people expect a superhero movie to be, she told sources. Quote that! Thats a quote, because the tabloids will pick up everything else we talk about.

When asked if her character will have an expanded role in the MCU, Sweeney gave a coy yes, and when asked about a potential stand-alone Spider-Woman movie, Sweeney smiled and shrug knowingly.

I doubt they gonna let actress of Euphoria fame be Spider-Gwen who is presented by Marvel as female hero/role model for all ages, mainly because unlike Zendaya very often nude and in sex scenes in the series. I would assume she's could be playing either Mattie Franklin the third Spider-Woman or more likely Charlotte Web the Evil Spider-Woman.

Dakota Johnson is Madame Web. It could be she is the Julia Carpenter version.

Sydney Sweeney has another role.

My guess is she is the Gwen Stacey Spidergirl

I totally misread the article. This makes more sense!

Sure whatever I hope she's playing old Aunt May, but they put her in prosthetic, that works right

Why are we casting a child in this role?I was expecting a Helen Mirren type. Someone with some years and some gravitas under their belt.

(I will fully admit to only knowing Madame Webb from the 90's animated series, so perhaps that depiction was inaccurate?)

Dakota Johnson is Madame Web. It could be she is the Julia Carpenter version.

Sydney Sweeney has another role.

My guess is she is the Gwen Stacey Spidergirl

wasn't she attached to another Marvel project only recently? In loki as enchantress?
