Production
Development
After their work on the Marvel Comics-based film Morbius (2022), part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU), Sony Pictures hired Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless in September 2019 to write a script centered around the Marvel character Madame Web.[10] Sony's executive vice president Palak Patel was overseeing the project.[11] Kerem Sanga had previously written a draft for the film.[12] In May 2020, S. J. Clarkson was hired to develop and direct Sony's first female-centric Marvel film, which was reported to be Madame Web.[13][14] The studio was looking to attach a prominent actress such as Charlize Theron or Amy Adams to the project, before hiring a new writer to further develop the film with her in mind.[13]
After meeting with several "A-listers" for the title role, Sony
narrowed their shortlist during December 2021 and January 2022. Dakota Johnson
became the frontrunner by the end of 2021, and was in talks to star as
Madame Web by early February. Clarkson was confirmed to be directing Madame Web at that time.[12] In March, Sydney Sweeney was cast in the film alongside Johnson.[15] Justin Kroll of Deadline Hollywood described the project as being "Sony's version of Doctor Strange"
due to Madame Web's comic book abilities, though he noted that the film
could be departing from the source material since the comics version of
Madame Web is an elderly woman, named Cassandra Webb, connected to a
life-support system that looks like a spider web. Kroll noted because of
this that the film reportedly could "turn into something else".[12] Grant Hermanns of Screen Rant noted speculation on whether Johnson was playing Cassandra Webb or the younger Julia Carpenter, who was the second character in the comics to be known as Madame Web.[16] A month later, Sony gave Madame Web a release date of July 7, 2023, and confirmed Johnson and Sweeney would star in the film.[4]
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who produced the film for Sony through his production company Di Bonaventura Pictures,[1]
described the film as a thriller and called the titular character's
clairvoyance a "tricky skill set" that was not likely to be used for an
action film. He said the studio chose to keep details on the film
secretive given the character was not well known to general audiences.[17] Sweeney said the film was different from audiences' expectations of superhero films.[18]
