The upcoming Sony Pictures superhero film Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson as the titular character, is being touted as a potential Morbius for women. This comparison is based on the fact that both movies are stand-alone superhero ventures that take place in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, which is different from the MCU. Morbius, released in 2022, received poor reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office.
Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have both confirmed plans to release Spider-Man 4. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, stated that a screenplay for a fourth Spider-Man movie was in its early stages of development. The movie does not yet have an official release date, but a report offered some speculation that this film could possibly merge the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the Sony Spider-Man Universe’s slate.
Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web Named Morbius For Women by Fans
With Dakota Johnson in the lead role, the upcoming Sony Pictures picture Madame Web is attracting interest because of its potential for franchise expansion and its suspected MCU tie-in.

In contrast to Madame Web, which is a more distinctive and intriguing endeavor, Morbius was a rather conventional superhero movie. Madame Web is located in the universe and is based on a relatively unknown character from Marvel Comics, when compared to Morbius, the movie might be far more imaginative and visually spectacular. The upcoming movie might turn out to be a unique and interesting project with the potential to be a much better film than Morbius.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Allegedly Merging Sony With MCU
Rumor has it that Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man 4 will combine the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel characters. Characters from the two universes could communicate with one another as a result of this merger, and it might potentially lead to future crossovers between the two properties.
The rumors of a merger began after the end credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, which saw Tom Hardy’s Venom being transported into the MCU. Fans conjectured that a merger might be in the works as a result of this hint that the two universes were already interconnected.
