The ‘Scream Queens’ star was announced as the latest addition to the star-studded cast, starring Johnson as the main character in the film, however no details about Emma’s character or Sydney’s role have been revealed.

“In the comics, Madame Web is depicted as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis and thus was connected to a life-support system that looked like a spider web,” Deadline reports, “Due to her age and medical condition, Madame Web never actively fought any villains. For that reason, sources have stressed it’s possible the project could turn into something else.”
