As the Multiverse Saga advances in the MCU , Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe only begin to take chassis withMadame Web , the third graphic symbol to get her own starring theatrical role in Sony ’s Marvel franchise . Dakota Johnson ’s precognitive Madame Webpossesses immensely different ability than her fellow heroes Venom and Morbius , yet her unique powers are n’t enough to capture audiences , asMadame Webreceived abysmal box office numbersand review .

Due to its awkward dialog , stilted performances , and unaccented script , Madame Weblands at the bottom of Spider - Man moviesin damage of quality and popularity . Madame Web ’s decisive and commercial-grade failure may be a bad prognostication for its enfranchisement . With no mode to desegregate Spider - Man without demand Marvel Studios , Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe faces an uphill challenge in its quest to build its own cinematic universe .

Madame Web’s Multiverse Ties Saw Major Hype Before Its Release

Madame WWW may not be the most illustrious character in Spider - Man account , but she trifle an important role in it . In the comics , Cassandra Webb is linked to the WWW of Life and Destiny — a strong-arm representation of the Marvel multiverse created by the wanderer goddess Neith . The Web of Life and Destiny also connect all spider avatars or " Spider - Totems " , and it can help as a substance of multiversal travel . With the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga in full swing , Madame Webwas Sony ’s honorable opportunity to capitalise on the concept of the multiverse and create a exonerated bond with the MCU .

Such an ambitious patch would have required a gamy level of synergism between Sony and Marvel Studios

open that Sony ’s Spider - Man movies ca n’t freely receipt the MCU , adapting all ofMadame Web ’s comic record book loreaccurately would have always been impossible . Madame Web ’s premiss and trailers made it seem like Cassandra Webb would be traveling back to 2003 to protect a yet - to - be - born Peter Parker from Ezekiel Sims , but such an challenging plot would have postulate a gamy level of synergy between Sony and Marvel Studios in rules of order to keep the newfangled Peter Parker ’s story from affectingSpider - Man ’s MCU timeline .

The Multiverse Would Have Helped Madame Web’s Story (But Risked Repeating A Superhero Movie Issue)

Madame Web could have been Sony ’s equivalent of Doctor Strange . She could have enclose the conception of substitute timeline and dimension , fourth dimension travel , and fate . Madame Web ’s presentiment hint at the convergence between all these concepts , as she predicts the event that are set to hap and changes the course of fate by changing details that lead to new scenario . Madame Webcould have link this knock-down power to the Web of Life and Destiny , which in turn could have proved that Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe has its own way to consider and determine the multiverse , similarly to the MCU ’s TVA .

The Sony Spider - Verse just got much more complicated and finally precede Peter Parker , but it ’s probably not the Spider - Man you ’d expect it to be .

On the other hand , Madame Web ’s multiversal traditional knowledge would have sum yet another layer of difficulty to an already complicated concept . Loki , WandaVision , Spider - Man : No Way Home , Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , andAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniahave each insert multiple original ideas that make the MCU multiverse much more complex than it seemed at first . Not to cite , the DCEU’sThe Flashand The CW ’s Arrowverse also have their own issue on the multiverse . Therefore , a novel explanation of alternate reality would n’t have guaranteed success forMadame Web , either .

Madame Web could have explainedwhy so many Spider - People end up locomote between universes so often . She could have also built upon Venom ’s tease of the symbiotes ' multiversal hive thinker and lay the foundation forVenom ’s potential get together with Tom Holland ’s Spider - Man , as well as explain why Vulture go far in the Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe afterSpider - Man : No Way Home .

Otherwise , Madame Web could have either explained why her macrocosm does n’t have a Spider - Man yet , or how it can get its own Spider - Man soon . If her universe never puzzle a Spider - Man , Madame Web could have find another Spider - Person to replace him . In short , Madame Web ’s Marvel Comics traditional knowledge provide Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe with various possible way to bring the enfranchisement nearer to Spider - Man and the MCU . Now , the character has lose her credibility due to the movie ’s near - nemine contradicente misfortunate reception , and there are no other fictional character with like abilities .
