All these films are not part of the well-known MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe, for its acronym in English and as the set of interconnected films and series is known), except for the films of the franchise “The Amazing Spider-Man”, starring Andrew Garfield, which changed after the premiere of “Spider-Man No Way Home”.Who is “Madame Web”, character that will be the first Sony film starring a female character?
Her secret identity is Cassandra Webb and she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (universe kraven also comes from) #210. It is a precognitive and clairvoyant mutant who first appeared to help Spider-Man find a kidnapping victim, and even came to know the secret identity of the aránido.

However, she is usually represented as an old woman connected to a life support system as a kind of spider web, she is even the grandmother of the fourth Spider-Woman, Charlotte Witter.Even with these abilities, her character is one of the secondary ones of the story, so that the project will seek to modify things a lot and thus take her with drums and pochoclos to the big screen.
