The newest installment in the Sony-Marvel Spider-Verse spins into theaters Feb. 14, 2024.
Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney are spinning into the Spider-Verse in the new Sony-Marvel film, Madame Web.
The first trailer for the upcoming film was released on Wednesday, revealing there are some new web-slingers coming to the multiverse.
According to the official synopsis, "In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing's most enigmatic heroines. The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures...if they can all survive a deadly present."
The film stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb / Madame Web, a clairvoyant whose psychic abilities allow her to see within the "spider world." In the comic canon, the character has served as a mentor to Peter Parker's Spider-Man, as well as several iterations of Spider-Woman. Sweeney is set to play a version of Spider-Woman named Julia Carpenter.
Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet, Mike Epps, Isabela Merced, Celeste O'Connor and Tahar Rahim also star.

Sweeney's casting was announced in March 2022, just a month after Johnson was set to play the film's titular character, making her the first female-headlining hero in the Sony-Marvel cinematic universe. Jessica Jones director S.J. Clarkson helms Sony's first female-led Marvel movie, with a screenplay from Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.
ET spoke with Johnson about the movie in June 2022, and while she of course had to keep tight-lipped about major details, she did admit, "It's pretty cool to be in the Marvel world, especially with a character that's not so known."
"There's a lot of space for us to make her very cool, and I'm so excited," Johnson added. "It's always been a dream of mine to do some kind of massive action movie. I always wanted to do, like, a female Indiana Jones... There's something about those movies that you're like, 'Wow, a real human being can do that!'"
Madame Web joins Sony's growing slate of Spider-Man spinoffs, including 2021's Venom: Let There Be Carnage and the Jared Leto-starring, Morbius. Their most recent, Spider-Man: No Way Home, grossed $1.916 billion globally, the highest in Sony history.
Madame Web is set to spin into theaters on Feb. 14, 2024.
