Sony’s new film with Spider-Man characters “Madame Web” will be the longest film in this universe, but it will not exceed the biggest events of Marvel Studios.
The surprising and highly anticipated movie “Madame Web” shows more surprises than the number of minutes as it goes to cinemas with its official running time. A Norwegian ticketing website has set the curtain on this promising film at 1 hour and 56 minutes (116 minutes with credits). Not only did this information immerse us in the anticipation, but it also set a record breaking time in the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSU), surpassing the throne’s 2018 “Venom” which clocked in at 112 minutes.
The cinematographic journey presented by “Madame Web” is not only an amazing story, but also shows the emerging trend in superhero production. While other SSU films like “Morbius” (2022) and “Venom: Live Carnage” (2021) stay under the two-hour mark, “Madame Web” follows a path that’s no longer theirs. Only a few minutes left to reach 120.
Comparisons and parallels in the world of heroes
It’s curious how few films in the wider Marvel universe have managed to stay under 120 minutes, with “The Marvels” currently the shortest in the MCU at 1 hour and 45 minutes. This fact leads us to consider the evolution of superhero cinema and how “Madame Web” marks a new direction in the narrative of these films.
Dakota Johnson shines in her role as a clairvoyant who fights to protect a group of young women played by Cassandra Webb, Sidney Sweeney, Isabella Merced and Celeste O’Connor. These superheroes, Julia Carpenter, Matty Franklin, and Anya Corazon, are set to become superhumans similar to Spider-Man. Additionally, Emma Roberts and Adam Scott have joined the cast, bringing to life key characters in Peter Parker’s story.
The Expanding Universe: Sony and Its Next Bets
Sony doesn’t stop here. In addition to “Madame Web,” the studio has big plans to expand its universe with the third installment of “Venom” and “Kraven the Hunter,” starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Although “El Muerto”, which was supposed to present “Bad Bunny”, seems to have been left out of the calendar, SSU continues to expand with stories that promise to capture the imagination of fans.
“Meanwhile, in another universe…” is how the official synopsis begins for “Madame Web,” the unconventional film that tells the origin story of one of Marvel’s most enigmatic heroes. Directed by SJ Clarkson, known for her work on “Jessica Jones” and “The Defenders,” and written by Matt Sazama, Kerem Sazama and Burk Sharpless, “Madame Web” promises to be a suspenseful and emotional thriller.
In the year Scheduled for release on February 14, 2024, “Madame Web” not only emerges as a record-breaking film in its long run, but also promises renewal and depth in the Spider-Man cinematic universe. This cinematic journey full of talent and mystery invites fans to explore a timeless story on screen, one that promises to leave a mark on the hearts of genre fans.
