Sony Pictures' Madame Web movie adds one more to its cast, as Emma Roberts is the latest to join Sony's Spider-Man Universe. After the success of Venom in 2018, Sony began ramping up plans to use the Spider-Man-related Marvel characters it owned the rights to. This led to a variety of ideas, including some that have not transpired and Morbius. Madame Web is one of the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff movies to come from these plans, with S.J. Clarkson agreeing to direct the film previously. The movie is expected to reimagine the Spider-Man character with multiverse connections.

Movement on Madame Web kicked into high gear in early 2022 when Dakota Johnson joined the project as the lead character. The movie's cast has continued to grow from there, with Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney also headlining the cast. Madame Web's ensemble includes Ghostbusters: Afterlife actress Celeste O’Connor, Transformers: The Last Knight's Isabela Merced, and The Serpent's Tahar Rahim.
