Madame Web Suit Fully Revealed In The Funniest Way Possible
The Sony Spider-Man Villainverse has a long and storied history of being unorthodox. For starters, the franchise has continued to build on films centered around Spider-Man villains without the friendly neighborhood web-head present to take them down. Now, it seems that the upcoming film, Madame Web, has teased their first look at the titular character’s super suit, in the form of an Ocean Spray juice advertisement.
Madame Web On Ocean Spray Bottles
Users across social media have continued to report sightings of the Madame Web suit sprawled across juice bottles in foreign markets, prompting Sony to hastily release a first look poster in response to the leak.
The suit appears to differ from the comic book version, offering a shiny red leather adorned with interwoven spider webs and a mysterious emblem centered on the chest. For reference, Madame Web is often seen in the Marvel comics wearing a long black dress with red spider leg accents.
Dakota Johnson And The Cast
Of course, the Dakota Johnson-led film is set to serve as something of a standalone origin story for the character, taking place long before she became a wheelchair-bound clairvoyant who occasionally assists Spider-Man in locating perps and victims who have fallen off the grid.
The debut trailer for the film offered first looks at stars such as Sydney Sweeney, Adam Scott, Isabela Merced, and Emma Roberts, and offered some insight into how the film adaptation of Madame Web attained her powers. The trailer chose to obfuscate any shots of Dakota Johnson donning the spandex suit, however, likely as a means to build anticipation for the film.
Sony Hypes Of The Film
Now, it seems that the cat is out of the bag as the Ocean Spray juice company has begun rolling out bottles of cocktail mixers plastered with Madame Web’s shiny red gear. This faux pas seems to be par for the course for Sony, as the studio seems to continually make films that serve as better meme fodder than they do theatrical experiences.
Both Venom films have been joked about endlessly online, while the 2022 film Morbius famously flopped at the box office upon release, only for teens on the internet to trick Sony executives into rereleasing the film to flop again.
A Meme-Worthy Flop?
By the same coin, Madame Web has been the subject of a number of jokes and memes across social media, with fans specifically highlighting the clunky expository dialogue present in the trailer. While many fans still hold out hope for the Sony Villainverse, it seems clear that the studio lacks the wherewithal to construct a compelling cinematic universe like Kevin Feige’s Marvel or James Gunn’s highly anticipated DCU. Despite diminishing financial returns, it seems that Sony executives have maintained a great deal of confidence in the franchise, as they keep green-lighting new films.
More Spider-Man Spinoffs
Madame Web is just one of many spinoffs within the cinematic universe currently in production. A Kraven The Hunter film starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson is currently slated to premiere in August, with a third Venom film expected to follow soon thereafter in November. Madame Web is just around the corner, with an expected release date of February 14.
