In the comics, Madame Web is an elderly woman who has an autoimmune disease called myasthenia gravis which requires her to be connected to life support machines. The wires connecting her to the machines looked like spider webs, which is where the name comes from, however, this character never battled villains.

Because of the frailty of the character in the comics, sources say that fans should expect the movie to deviate from what is seen in the comic. No details have been shared on what role Roberts will play in the upcoming movie. The movie is still in its infancy with not many details finalized yet, but we’ll be on the lookout for more updates. Dakota Johnson is also set to star in the spin off.

In other entertainment news, Disney has released tons of new details about upcoming projects. For example, we now have a release date for the Zootopia show coming to Disney+ and the live-action Hercules movie now has a director, too!
