By September 2019, Sony has recruited Sazama and Sharpless to draft the script for a film about Madame Web for its shared universe. Johnson was cast in early 2022, while Clarkson became the film’s director in May 2020, directing her first feature picture. In the months that followed, more castings were made, especially for the three Spider-Women roles. Mid-July 2022 saw the start of filming, which was completed before the year ended in Boston, several locations in Massachusetts, and New York City. The movie is a suspense thriller that tells the origin tale of the title character and takes a grounded tone, unlike many superhero movies. It takes place in a stand-alone universe. The writers’ collaboration between Clarkson and Parker was made public in November 2023.
On February 14, 2024, Madame Web is expected to be released in the US.
