As Sony begins production on Madame Web, Deadline reports that the film has added Zosia Mamet (The Flight Attendant) to its cast.
There is no word on who Mamet will be playing as she joins Dakota Johnson (Persuasion) in the film. Madame Web is being directed by Jessica Jones‘ S.J. Clarkson and sees Johnson as Cassandra Webb, “a clairvoyant whose psychic abilities allow her to see within the spider world”.
In the comic books, Madame Web is an ally of Spider-Man who is depicted as an elderly woman suffering from the autoimmune disorder myasthenia gravis, which leaves her permanently attached to a life support system shaped like a spider’s web.
Along with Johnson and Mamet, the cast of Madame Web includes Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria), Isabela Merced (Dora The Explorer), Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Emma Roberts (American Horror Story), Tahar Rahim (The Mauritanian), Mike Epps (The Upshaws) and Adam Scott (Severance).
Madame Web is set for release on October 6th 2023.
