Netflix is an amazing place because its library boasts not only its originals, but also licensed movies and shows that people either didn't have the motivation or the opportunity to watch before. Not all of these movies and TV shows become smash hits, or even get rediscovered — a bad project usually stays bad, except for the extra views. Still, a Netflix subscription is a great way to watch something you didn't want to spend a movie ticket on.
Sony's Spider-Man Universe films are particularly notable in this regard. Following Netflix's exclusive deal with Sony in 2021, a number of films, including Ssu, have found their way to the streaming service sometime after their theatrical release.
Now, the critically and commercially disappointing Madame Web is coming to Netflix's library, and it's happening much sooner than originally expected. Let's take a look at which regions and when the movie will be available for streaming on Netflix.

Madame Web should have been a game-changer for Sony Pictures. While Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage were box office hits, neither received overly glowing reviews and the awful Morbius left any possible goodwill fans had for the studio bleeding out on the floor.
With Madame Web billed as a standalone adventure and a movie that finally put the spotlight on some of the heroes from Spider-Man's world, it looked like the stage was being set for a new female-led superhero franchise. Three Spider-Women swinging into the action under the watchful eye of Cassandra Webb seemed like a genius move, but when it hit theaters...well, you know the rest.

Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff Madame Web has been confirmed for 4K Uhd, Blu-ray and DVD later this month. Details below.
Madame Web, Sony’s somewhat unfortunate attempt at bringing a notorious Spider-Man sidekick to the big screen, is hoping to get a second chance at success on its home entertainment release.

Spider-Man finally made his cameo in X-Men ’97. The web-slinger was seen in the latest episode of the X-Men revival, swinging through New York City, as Magneto’s global Emp shut down the power grids of the world, plunging humanity into the dark ages and depowering every Prime Sentinel in the world.
Spider-Man in X-Men ’97
We know that the Spider-Man that exists in the X-Men ’97 universe is the one from Spider-Man: The Animated Series. This has a slew of interesting ramifications for his existence in the universe, since the last time we saw the character, he was hopping across the multiverse with Madame Web, looking for Mary Jane.

Director Fede Álvarez’s contribution to the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus, is set to reach theatres on August 16th (you can watch the teaser Here), and we have previously seen a picture of a Xenomorph from the film – in fact, that’s the image featured above this paragraph. Now USA Today has shared another image of an Alien: Romulus Xenomorph, and you can check that one out at the bottom of this article. It has been said that Álvarez was dedicated to using practical effects on this film (we’ve even seen him playing with a remote controlled Facehugger), so it’s nice to see glimpses of these creatures that actually existed on the set.
When this project was announced near the start of 2022, it was said that Álvarez pitched the idea to Ridley Scott years ago and it stuck with Scott. So in late 2021, he called Álvarez and asked...

Madame Web arrived in theaters earlier this year and is seemingly destined to go down as one of the worst superhero movies ever made.
With 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, it earned only $100.3 million at the worldwide box office, making it a critical and commercial flop Sony won't easily recover from. Of course, it's too late now to change its 2024 slate as Venom: The Last Dance and Kraven the Hunter are fast approaching.
Box office numbers like the ones above confirm the vast majority of fans and regular moviegoers didn't bother seeing Madame Web on the big screen, but you'll soon be able to watch it at home... provided you have a Netflix subscription.

If you never caught Madame Web in theaters (I certainly wouldn’t blame you) but still want to check out the box office and critical disaster, you might be interested to know that the film will be coming to Netflix on May 14th.
Madame Web was a bit of a disaster, which is a shame for any project that people worked hard on, but you’ve got to wonder what type of movie the creative team had originally envisioned. While there was potential there, the final result wasted every opportunity. You had Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor as three different Spider-Women… except we never really get to see this in action beyond a few glimpses into the future. Toss in some bewildering dialogue and subpar action, and you’re just left scratching your head.
Madame Web star Dakota Johnson later slammed the movie, saying she would never do anything like it again.

Last month, 20th Century Studios unveiled a teaser trailer for Alien: Romulus, director Fede Álvarez’s contribution to the Alien franchise that is set to reach theatres on August 16th. (You can watch the teaser Here.) With the release date still four months away, it might be a little while before we see a full trailer – but while we wait for that to come along, star Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) is building the hype by promising that the film will deliver everything fans want to see.
Spaeny told CinePOP, “I don’t think I can say much, but I already delivered something, so I’ll just repeat it. It takes place between Alien and Aliens, in terms of plot and chronology. But we have an incredible cast, some new faces. The Facehuggers are there. You will get everything you want from the film. Fede Alvarez is an incredible director who has...

(You can watch the teaser Here.) With the release date just four months away, Alien: Romulus received some love during the Disney panel at CinemaCon.
An exclusive extended scene from Alien: Romulus was screened a CinemaCon which followed Cailee Spaeny’s character wandering through a broken-down spaceship corridor with Aileen Wu’s character. They see a ripped-apart android among the debris. David Jonsson’s character, who is an android himself, is rebooting with an interesting effect in his eyes, but at that moment, a swarm of face-huggers burst into the room, chasing the characters out. We saw a bit of this scene in the teaser.

Just a few months ago, we all saw Madame Web crash and burn in theatres. It wasn’t as meme-worthy as Morbius, but it was another fascinating misfire in Sony’s Spider-Man-adjacent cinematic universe. Now that dumpster fire is coming to home video.
For those of us who like to punish ourselves with bad movies, we’ll have a chance to bring Madame Web home on April 30. The Sj Clarkson-directed “film” will be available on 4K Uhd, Blu-ray, and DVD. Surprisingly, the discs will have some bonus features.

Tom Holland ventured into the entertainment business at a young age. Before transitioning to film, he built a career in theatre. His first significant stage role was the titular character in the West End production of the coming-of-age musical Billy Elliot the Musical in 2008. He previously starred as the best friend of the protagonist.
Tom Holland in The Crowded Room
The turning point in Holland’s acting career came in 2012 when he worked with Naomi Watts in the disaster drama film The Impossible. Three years later, he had his breakthrough in Hollywood with his portrayal of Peter Parker and his alter-ego Marvel superhero Spider-Man.
It is a role that he has played numerous times. While fans do not seem to have gotten enough of the actor in the Spidey suit, recent Madame Web concept art featuring him is not something they seemed to be eager about.

You know your movie’s a failure when it’s been bested by Morbius, but that’s where Madame Web has found itself. The critically panned movie is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, a franchise which doesn’t seem to include the web-slinger, but some recently released Madame Web concept art does feature Tom Holland’s Spider-Man battling Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahims).
Concept artist Sebastian Meyer, who has worked on movies such as Doctor Strange, Star Trek Beyond, Aquaman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and more, revealed a series of Madame Web illustrations, some of which include Spider-Man.

Rolling Stone UK’s latest cover features Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, who is set to have a busy final few months in 2024. In addition to playing the lead in Sony’s superhero film Kraven the Hunter (opening in theaters on August 30), he will be joining Bill Skarsgård in the horror movie Nosferatu, helmed by Robert Eggers (releasing on December 25).
Oh, did we mention he also has a supporting role in David Leitch’s flick The Fall Guy, which will arrive on May 3? Recently, the actor has been in the news for his fervent promotion of the upcoming Sony project, Kraven the Hunter. However, it appears that his efforts are falling flat with fans, as he employs the same trope that audiences have grown tired of.

While Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web brought a new low to the Sony Spider-Man Universe, fans still have the Aaron Taylor-Johnson starrer Kraven The Hunter as well as Tom Hardy’s Venom: The Last Dance to see if the Ssu is worth anything. Fans were not ready for a film to be worse than the meme-worthy Morbius, but Madame Web played to win in that competition.
However, Taylor-Johnson has assured fans that Kraven The Hunter is good and worth exploring in the cinemas. The Bullet Train star mentioned how the film was different from the usual franchise fare that audiences were used to and that he would not have chosen to work on it if the film did not have any potential.

When it comes to being an actor, it is known that those in the business would have to pay their dues. Sometimes studio politics means playing the game in order to get to the better stuff. The phrase that’s usually said is “one for them” — meaning you just take a job just to show you are a team player. And Syndey Sweeney is attributing her role in the infamous Madame Web to be exactly that. After Sony attempted to expand their Spider-Man property, only to get caught in its own web, which let audiences prey on it, it was recently given a mercy release on digital.
The stars of the film have started to distance themselves from the finished product as well. However, Sydney Sweeney did her part and hopes her role in the production meant building a stronger bond with the film’s studio. According to Deadline, Sweeney told GQ,...

‘To me, that film was a building block,’ says Sydney Sweeney of the much-maligned comic book movie, Madame Web.
Considering she’s just starred in the film that will probably be remembered as 2024’s least loved movie, Sydney Sweeney seems to have deftly sidestepped any negativity emanating from Madame Web's dismal reception.
How so? Well, her breakout rom-com Anyone But You is still playing in cinemas, a pretty amazing feat considering that the film debuted at the tail-end of last year. That movie is proving to have real legs, and although Sweeney may have followed it with a supporting appearance in Sony’s maligned Spider-Man spin-off, she’s quickly following Madame Web with Immaculate, a fun take on the convent horror genre in which she plays a nun subjected to all kinds of peril throughout the film’s zippy runtime.

Sydney Sweeney is looking at the positive side of starring in Sony-Marvel’s Madame Web despite the negativity surrounding the film.
Although the superhero film failed to attract numbers at the box office, the Euphoria star talked about the importance of being part of that production.
“To me, that film was a building block, it’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony. Without doing Madame Web I wouldn’t have a relationship with the decision-makers over there,” she said in an interview with GQ. “Everything in my career I do not just for that story, but strategic business decisions. Because I did that, I was able to sell Anyone But You. I was able to get Barbarella.”
Since the Madame Web trailer’s debut, social media has poked fun at the movie for a line Dakota Johnson’s Cassie says that gives a quick backstory of the film’s villain.
Although the superhero film failed to attract numbers at the box office, the Euphoria star talked about the importance of being part of that production.
“To me, that film was a building block, it’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony. Without doing Madame Web I wouldn’t have a relationship with the decision-makers over there,” she said in an interview with GQ. “Everything in my career I do not just for that story, but strategic business decisions. Because I did that, I was able to sell Anyone But You. I was able to get Barbarella.”

Sydney Sweeney’s rising career which has been marked by smart choices, unfortunately hit a roadblock with the dismal reception of Madame Web. Having gained superstardom with her marquee gig in Euphoria followed by appearances in The White Lotus, The Handmaid’s Tale, and the romantic comedy Anyone But You, Sweeney cemented herself as one of the most popular and desirable young stars in Hollywood.

But her role as Julia Carpenter in the Sony-Marvel film has taken away some of the shine in her repertoire. The movie tanked majorly at the box office and has garnered some criticisms for Sweeney and Dakota Johnson as well. Despite this misstep in her career, the actor has been gracious and positive about her involvement in the film.

Sydney Sweeney has already put the Madame Web disaster behind her. She is earning praise for her performance in the new indie film, Immaculate. The performance reiterates the fact that Sweeney’s talents were wasted in the Dakota Johnson film. Some fans felt that Sweeney could have added a lot more to the character of Julia Cornwall aka Spider-Woman. These fans have hopeful news that the actress can still return to her role in a Spider-Man film.

After crashing and burning at the box office, becoming the subject of multiple jokes at its expense during the Academy Awards, and even driving its own main star to completely disassociate herself from anything to do with it, "Madame Web" admirably lived up to its billing as 2024's heir apparent to the "Morbius" debacle. These sorts of high-profile flops don't come around very often, even as the superhero bubble seems to have well and truly burst in recent years, so I'm being sincere when I say I hope we all thoroughly enjoyed the phenomenon of society coming together to good-naturedly clown on one misguided movie in particular.
But the fun doesn't have to end just yet! "Madame Web" might as well be the movie that the term "guilty pleasure" was invented for, based on /Film's rather tepid review by Witney Seibold, so we all have yet another chance to experience...

Sydney Sweeney isn’t taking a break anytime soon, as she revealed that she’s finally heading back to the Euphoria set to start filming season three.
During a recent interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, the actress was asked if she was planning “to take a little time off after all this madness” following a busy past year with Anyone But You, Madame Web, and Immaculate press tours.
But Sweeney informed Horowitz that next on her plate is filming for the next season of Sam Levinson’s hit HBO series. “I go into Euphoria,” she noted.
However, she wouldn’t confirm an exact date or if she’s seen any scripts yet when asked, adding, “Maybe. I don’t know.” But Sweeney said she is excited to reunite with the cast for the highly anticipated third season.
“I always feel like I go home,” she said of the series.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web was a title that was in the works but was canceled some time ago. Several leaks about the game surfaced online, leading to many gamers and Webhead fans discussing the title.
The recent leaks have also seemingly teased that the game had crossovers with other Marvel titles developed by Insomniac, such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine. The idea, at least in theory, sounds impressive, and in the comment section of the video that leaked the idea behind the game, fans can be seen lamenting that the game will possibly never be released.

Marvel fans eagerly awaited Madame Web, hoping it would restore faith in the franchise. However, the Dakota Johnson-led film failed to capture the expected magic. Since the release of this trailer, there has been a lot of talk about this movie, but it has failed to deliver.

First Dakota Johnson and now Sydney Sweeney, it turns out no star from Madame Web is afraid to sling some sass its way. The real difference in the approaches is that while Johnson has been openly outspoken with her words about the Marvel flop, Sweeney would much rather distance her role in it.
Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, Sweeney said of Madame Web, “I was just hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen.” And what was going to happen was a complete whooping by critics and at the box office, taking in barely half of its reported $80 million budget domestically. But that’s a definite brushing off of the project, as “just” having one of the lead roles in a Marvel movie, no matter the expected scope, is still a huge deal. Indeed, that is the...

Amid the echoes of Dune: Part Two success, Tinseltown is getting overshadowed by Dakota Johnson’s latest career move, followed by the failure of Madame Web. The way the actress handled the catastrophic box office performance of her Marvel movie, and even left her talent agency WME for CAA, sparked a whirlwind of speculation and concern.

Meanwhile, according to inside reports from Jeff Sneider, it has been revealed that although Dakota Johnson is being mocked for her Madame Web role, the actress was allegedly forced to join the cast. Reportedly coerced into leading the much-anticipated Madame Web, Johnson’s career was allegedly tanked on purpose.

When Sony decided to expand its Spider-Man Universe with Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web, everyone was ecstatic as the film would feature more characters from the Marvel comic books and it would feature an all-female cast featuring Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, all led by none other than the Persuasion actress. However, the film has been nothing but a major box office disaster.

Though Johnson was once excited to be a part of the film, after the film’s failure, she has made comments on her experience in the film, that dashes away all the possibility of Madame Web 2. However, that’s not all as it narrows the odds of Andrew Garfield’s much-deserved The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and fans are not happy with it.

Dakota Johnson has opened up about Madame Web’s critical and commercial struggles, saying “I don’t make sense in that world”.
Sony’s latest entry in its ongoing series of Spider-Man films that don’t feature Spider-Man is Madame Web. Dakota Johnson stars in the film as the titular Cassandra Web, a paramedic who develops psychic powers. At this point, you probably don’t need us to tell you the film has not released to a warm reception and the internet is filled with thoughts about how this film can possibly have come to exist here, in the best of all worlds.
Dakota Johnson has thoughts too. Before the film released, she was dropping lots of none-too subtle hints about it. These included calling the experience of shooting the visual effects portions ‘psychotic' and pointedly stating that the final film didn’t resemble the one that she agreed to make.

Hey, remember "Madame Web"? The latest attempt from Sony to cash in on all-things-Spider-Man opened a few weeks ago — and promptly flopped at the box office. Reviews weren't kind, either (although ours was a little more positive than others — you can read it here). In fact, "Madame Web" seemed doomed from the start. The only trailer for the film was met with ridicule, and the press tour leading up to release featured star Dakota Johnson seemingly distancing herself from the picture before anyone even had a chance to see it. Now, in the wake of the film's failure, Johnson is opening up about the experience, and her comments are well-said and eye-opening.
Speaking with Bustle, Johnson touched on the sorry state of making movies like "Madame Web" today. Specifically, she derided the fact that these superhero flicks are often made by committee rather than via artistic vision. "It's so hard to get movies made,...

Sony’s “Madame Web” is one of the biggest flops in comic book movie history. The Dakota Johnson-led tentpole has only grossed $40 million so far at the domestic box office, and its worldwide gross remains under the $100 million mark after three weekends of release. Critics also eviscerated the film (it boasts a 12% score on Rotten Tomatoes from 225 reviews). For its star Dakota Johnson, the reception to “Madame Web” did not come as a shock.
“Unfortunately, I’m not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,” she told Bustle in a new interview.
“Is there a reason for that?,” the publication asked her.

In 2024, Mike Epps joined the star-studded cast of Madame Web. In the origin story of Cassandra Webb, Epps stars as O’Neil. While his role is merely a supporting one, as usual, he stands out thanks to his comedic flair that he often brings to his renditions. Although the movie has received a plethora of negative reviews, and a not so warm box office opening, Epps’ part in the movie shines. Originally starting out in stand-up comedy, Epps’ role in Madame Web is another prime example of how he can transfer his comedy skills to the big screen with ease.
