Madame Web: Find out what role Emma Roberts will play in the Spider-Man spin-off

Madame Web is out in theaters now, and reviews for this Spider-Man spin-off are mixed. The recently released Marvel film starring Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb features talented actors including Sydney Sweeney, Adam Scott, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim and Emma Roberts. Set in a universe where Spider-Man has yet to appear, the film hints at the iconic character, prompting speculation about a cameo from the friendly neighborhood superhero in future installations. Meanwhile, Roberts’ role was initially kept secret, but Comicbook.com reported that she was playing Mary Parker. Meanwhile, Scott plays Ben Parker, who works as a paramedic with Dakota’s Cassandra Webb.

In the film, Mary is shown to be married to Ben, unlike in the comics and other Spider-Man adaptations where Mary’s husband is Richard Parker. In the comic, Mary and Richard are secret agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., tasked with fighting against villains. The next installment of Madame Web could potentially touch on the tragic events that led to Mary’s passing, and could see Peter being adopted by his aunt and uncle. An interesting scene in the film involves the three Spider-Women helping Mary and Ben Parker get to the hospital for the birth of their baby. However, the film keeps Peter’s name a secret, leaving viewers in suspense.

In an earlier interview with The Wrap, Dakota Johnson said, “There were drastic changes, and I can’t even tell you what they were. There were so many different camera settings added that the amount of work tripled and it was very complex and there were only minor differences between each version of the same scene so it was like pieces of a puzzle and really paying attention to what moment we are at and what angle we are at, and continuity and the like. I was really really lost, and director S.J. “Clarkson always knew exactly where we were and it was really incredible.”

Madame Web follows Dakota Johnson’s character, Cassandra Webb, as a New York City paramedic who later develops mystical powers. As the story progresses, Cassandra finds herself in a situation where she must save three young women, Julia Cornwall, Mattie Franklin and Anya Corazon, from a mysterious enemy who is determined to end their lives.
