Production
Development
After their work on the Marvel Comics-based film Morbius (2022), part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, Sony hired Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless in September 2019 to write a script centered around the Marvel character Madame Web. In May 2020, S. J. Clarkson was hired to develop and direct Sony's first female-centric Marvel film, which was reported to be the Madame Web film. The studio was looking to attach a prominent actor such as Charlize Theron or Amy Adams to the project, before hiring a new writer to further develop the film with the actress in mind. After meeting with several "A-listers" for the title role, Sony narrowed their shortlist during December 2021 and January 2022. Dakota Johnson became the frontrunner by the end of 2021, and was in talks to star as Madame Web by early February. Clarkson was confirmed to be directing Madame Web at that time.
