Sydney Sweeney Cast In Sony's Spider-Man Universe

Sony Pictures is looking to expand heavily on its collection of Marvel-based movies, which continues with Jared Leto’s Morbius in the immediate future. Included In that mix is Madame Web, which still has plenty of secrets left to be revealed. Under the direction of S.J. Clarkson and featuring Dakota Johnson in the lead role, this new film will bring yet another never-before-seen power player into the mix.

Madame Web has been in the works for the better part of two years while Sony builds an extensive cast of heroes anti-heroes from Spider-Man's extensive catalog. Johnson's take on the character will seemingly be vastly different from her comic counterpart, largely due to her younger age, although her powers will add a new level of excitement to this franchise.

Currently, Johnson is the film's only cast member, with rumors pointing to filming potentially starting sometime this year. Now, that cast finds itself with a new member, who joins the fray after an exciting round of storytelling on TV.
