“Madame Web is unlike any other superhero,” says director SJ Clarkson, who helms Madame Web, the first superhero movie with a female lead in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.
In bringing to the screen one of Marvel’s most mysterious and inscrutable characters, Clarkson directs a standalone origin story for the character, played by Dakota Johnson, who uses the power of her mind to weave together the fates of everyone around her. “One of the themes of the movie is that you don’t have to be superhuman to have superpowers,” Clarkson continues. “Most superheroes’ powers come from strength and agility. With Madame Web, it’s all psychological.”
