10 WILD Rumours About Upcoming Movies
1. Sydney Sweeney Plays A Serial Killer - Madame Web
Sony's Marvel movie Madame Web just recently started shooting, and because it isn't due for release until October 2023, we've gleaned little official information beyond a few flippant casting announcements.
We know that Dakota Johnson will be playing the titular clairvoyant superhuman - presumably the younger Julia Carpenter iteration of the character - yet the rest of the cast's characters are being kept firmly under wraps.
However, recently circulated rumours indicate that the film's surprise villain will be played by none other than Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney.
More to the point, Sweeney will apparently be playing a serial killer by the name of Charlotte Witter, who goes by the evil supervillain alter-ego of Spider-Woman.
While in the comics Witter was the granddaughter of the original Madame Web, Cassandra Webb, if the rumours are accurate then Witter will be reimagined as her daughter instead.
If that's true, though, it's unclear who could possibly be playing Cassandra, given that no announced cast members meet the age criteria. If a middle-aged actress joins the cast in the coming days or weeks, though, it'll be pretty clear who they're playing.
Given Sweeney's magnetic screen presence, it'll certainly be interesting to see her playing a violent supervillain in a major blockbuster movie.
