The fourth film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU), ‘Madame Web,’ stars Dakota Johnson in the title role. Details about the film’s post-credits scene have been revealed.
How many post-credits scenes are in ‘Madame Web’?
‘Madame Web’ contains no post-credits scene, marking the first film in the SSU without a single post-credits.
In an interview with ComicBook.com, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained why ‘Madame Web’ doesn’t have a post-credits scene. He said that it’s a standalone story focusing on Madame Web, giving us the freedom to tell her story without tying it to other movies.
Bonaventura said, “It wasn’t a conscious decision to say ‘We’re not going going to do that since everybody else does it,’ but we liked having the ambiguity of it and having the promise of it that stood hand to hand where that other piece would then solidify it in a certain direction.”
“We made a decision early on that the advantage in this story was not to attach it to all these other stories. We tip the hat. But really, we wanted to concentrate on a character journey, and I think some of the superhero fatigue that people talk about is because those movies are often not about the central character.”
“And so we felt it was a stronger choice for us to say, ‘This is Madame Web’s story.’ She comes out of the Spider-Man comic books, but it’s not part of this other giant thing. It is its own standalone, which gave the freedom to really tell the character story.”
According to the film’s plot: Meanwhile, in another universe… In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel’s most enigmatic heroines. The suspense-driven thriller stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures—if they can all survive a deadly present.
Directed by S. J. Clarkson from a screenplay by Sharpless and Sazama. The film is the sixth installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU). The film stars Johnson as Madame Web, Sydney Sweeney as Julia Cornwall, Celeste O’Connor, and Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim as Ezekiel Sims, Emma Roberts, Mike Epps, Adam Scott, and Zosia Mamet.
‘Madame Web’ hits theaters on February 16, 2024.
