Dakota Johnson weaves a Marvel origin story in first Madame Web trailer

“Meanwhile, in another universe…”

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.

Also starring Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Adam Scott and Emma Roberts, and directed by SJ Clarkson (TV’s Succession, Orange is the New Black, and Jessica Jones), Madame Web will weave into cinemas in 2024.

Madame Web is exclusively in Australian cinemas from February 14th, 2024.
