Adam Scott Signs On to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Movie Madame Web
Adam Scott has joined Sony’s upcoming Marvel movie Madame Web, according to reporting by Deadline. The upcoming superhero film is already set to star Dakota Johnson as the titular character who, according to Marvel lore, is a mutant possessing psychic powers such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and astral projection, all while being hooked up to a life support system resembling a spider’s web.

Google Files Patent for Wearable Devices to Control Music by Drawing on Your Skin

Dakota Johnson Cast as Madame Web in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Film
Sony is looking to wrap up Dakota Johnson as the star of its first female-led Spider-Man universe adventure, Madame Web. The project was first announced back in 2019, with Morbius writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless working on the screenplay.
