Madame Web,Sony’s most recent Marvel outing, has plenty of nods to Spider-Man, from the inclusion of his late mother Mary and his uncle Ben Parker toa re-jig on one of the comics' most iconic lines. But the webslinger is never mentioned explicitly by name and he’s only (technically) seen in diapers… not a super-suit.
Now, though, Marvel concept artist Sebastian Meyer, who has worked on the likes ofDoctor Strange,Black Panther, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, hasshared some of his creations from the new movieand two of them look to reveal a scrapped showdown between Spider-Man and villain Ezekiel Sims.
In one image, the pair appear to be engaged in a mid-air brawl over a lit-up New York City, while they can be seen tumbling down a skyscraper in the other.
It’s worth noting, though, that neither Sony, Marvel, or director S. J. Clarkson has actually confirmed this. “She comes from that world, but she is her own character and that’s what I think was really exciting was to explore the world of her and give her a voice. Give those other Spider-Women and Ezekiel voices within that world,“the latter previously told GamesRadar+ and Inside Total Film.
Starring Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Sydney Sweeney, and Dakota Johnson, Madame Web centers on 30-something paramedic Cassie, who inexplicably finds herself with clairvoyant abilities following a near-death experience. Onboard a train one evening, she sees a horrifying vision of a man murdering three young women and saves them all by intervening, thrusting the foursome into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the would-be killer – setting her on a path to become the psychic superhero Madame Web.
Madame Web is available on VOD now. If you’ve already seen it, check out all theupcoming superhero moviesheading our way.
