Madame Web Will Feel Familiar Yet Different
Madame Webis not just set to innovate the superhero genre. While the film diverges from the usual action-dense narrative, di Bonaventura reassures audiences that it will still feel familiar and rooted in the universe they’ve come to know and love.
“It’s a different kind of movie in that universe … It’s almost, in a way, more of a thriller,” adding that “it’s not an action piece, because, in a way, [Madam Web’s] skill set is not conducive to an action piece.”
Moreover, he revealed a deliberate strategy to shroud the main character’s abilities and the film’s plot in mystery. Given that Madame Web is a relatively unknown character, there’s an element of excitement in keeping audiences guessing for a bit longer. Di Bonaventura believes that it is fun to keep the mystery for a while.

With such an impressive lineup, Madame Web is shaping up to be an unmissable event for all superhero movie enthusiasts.
