While the MCU is the clear juggernaut now, Madame Web of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe could throw a wrench in their plans with one key character.
Sydney Sweeney’s rumored role in Sony’s Madame Web might portend bad things for the MCU’s future. Madame Web is one of the upcoming films coming up in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe that started with Venom. While the SSU is currently missing their eponymous hero, thanks to Sony’s deal presumably keeping Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the MCU, that doesn’t mean it will stay that way forever.
It’s interesting that Sony is jumping right to Carpenter’s Spider-Woman, but given her connection to Madame Web and Spider-Man, it makes sense. While Spider-Man uses physical webbing, this Spider-Woman actually uses psychic energy to create her webs. In addition, after she becomes the second Madame Web, she gains Webb’s powers of clairvoyance and telepathy at the cost of her eyesight.
Frankly, their approach to a villain-centric franchise hasn’t worked. Not only do they need villains for audiences to rally behind - and Morbius certainly isn’t that - but they also need strong opposing forces to play with. A character like Spider-Woman can provide that. In truth, this could be setting up Sweeney’s Julia Carpenter as one of the big stars of the franchise with Tom Hardy’s Venom and whoever will play Silk in her upcoming SSU tv show, Silk: Spider Society.
