‘Madame Web’ Trailer – Sony’s Next Marvel Movie Looks Like ‘Final Destination’ Meets Superheroes
The fourth film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which also includes Venom and Morbius, is the Dakota Johnson-starring Madame Web, and the official trailer has been released.
Madame Web arrives in theaters on February 14, 2024.
In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing’s most enigmatic heroines. The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities.
Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures…if they can all survive a deadly present.
Dakota Johnson leads a cast that also includes Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts and Adam Scott.
Sydney Sweeney is playing Julia Carpenter aka Spider-Woman in the film, which features multiple web-slinging superheroes. You can watch the official trailer down below.
SJ Clarkson directed Madame Web, written by Clarkson and Claire Parker.
The Madame Web character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #210, published November 1980. The character was created by writer Dennis O’Neil and artist John Romita Jr.
Up next from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, we’re getting the Kraven the Hunter solo movie next year, while a third installment in the hit Venom franchise is also on the way.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
