Many are already comparing it to Morbius, while others are now once again begging Disney to take full ownership of the Spider-Man characters.
The internet is saying that the Madame Webb movie looks “lame” and asking, “Can Marvel just bring Spider-Man back already?” Like with violence? Then stop all those terrible Spider-Man movies. Take them anyway and fight the lawsuit.”

I wish someone would make a reaction video just to the reaction videos to the Madame Web movie, which just looks… terrible. Like multiplying Morbius x The Flash. Has anyone told Sony about the tax breaks for not releasing films?

In the new film, Dakota Johnson plays the eponymous Madame Web. In the comics, Madame Web is a psychic who can see into the future. She aids Spider-Man numerous times throughout the comics, although her role as a hero or villain is still up for debate in the community.
The cast also includes Sydney Sweeney and Adam Scott. The former appears to be playing Julia Carpenter, the second woman to take on the role of Spider-Woman in the comics.

Julia is injected with spider venom and other plant extracts by an organization called the Commission, causing her to develop powers very similar to Spider-Man.
