Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Sony made many changes to Marvel Comics stories and characters in 2024's Madame Web, altering the titular hero and her storyline significantly.
Adam Scott did a solid job of playing Ben Parker in Madame Web, and was one of the strongest parts of the lackluster movie. Changing Ben's job from military police officer to paramedic wasn't such a massive and unusual change, particularly since this line of work would still teach Ben valuable skills that would aid in his eventual raising of Peter Parker.
8 Cassandra Webb Is Aged-Down For Madame Web Madame Web Is Depicted As An Old Woman In Marvel Comics Madame Web is depicted as an elderly woman in Marvel Comics, which adds to her mysticism and motherly instincts towards Spider-Man and other young Spider-People. In Sony's Madame Web, however, Dakota Johnson portrayed a much younger version of Cassandra Webb, telling the character's origin story as a prominent hero in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
6 Ezekiel Sims Is Completely Different In Madame Web Ezekiel Sims Was A Mentor To Spider-Man In Marvel Comics While many changes were made to Cassandra Webb's own character in Madame Web, the movie's primary villain was also altered significantly. Tahar Rahim's Ezekiel Sims was introduced as a former explorer who gained enhanced strength and reflexes from a spider bite, who targeted the three Spider-Women after seeing them kill him in a vision of the future.
While Las Arañas were an interesting addition to Madame Web, the tribe was created specifically for the movie, and has no counterpart in Marvel Comics. Unfortunately, Madame Web didn't dive deep enough into the mythology and history of Las Arañas, meaning their inclusion was all but meaningless. It's possible that Las Arañas could return in the SSU's future, however, allowing them to be developed even more.
When Sony finally does debut Peter Parker's Spider-Man in the SSU, his transformation may be weakened and belittled by the fact that there are already other spider-like characters in the franchise. Peter Parker won't be unique at all, taking away some of the magic of his transformation into a bona fide superhero. Madame Web may have set Spider-Man up for failure in Sony's Spider-Man Universe by making his enhanced abilities not in the least bit special.
