The leading actress of Madame Web, Dakota Johnson, recently opened up about the internet’s reaction to a line from the film’s trailer. A clip of Cassie Webb’s dialogue, “Researching Spiders in the Amazon,” took social media by storm, evolving into a meme sensation.
During a conversation with HuffPost UK, Johnson expressed her bewilderment at its viral status. “What’s the reason behind it becoming viral? I had no idea until someone mentioned it. Isn’t it true that any phrase can seem odd taken out of its context? The line ‘He was in the Amazon researching spiders with my mom before she died’ might sound mundane, but apparently it caught on; perhaps I’m just not in on the joke,” she mused.
The dialogue snippet that went viral is not just a piece of throwaway script but holds significance within the film’s plot. It pertains to the backstory connecting Cassie Webb’s mother and the primary antagonist Ezekiel Sims (portrayed by Tahar Rahim). Sims was involved in spider research with Webb’s late mother, later acquiring attributes such as clairvoyance and super strength from a mystical spider. In a twist from the comic book portrayal, the movie version of Sims will sport a costume resembling that of Spider-Man’s black suit.
Exploring the Plot of ‘Madame Web’
The forthcoming movie Madame Web provides the following as its official narrative: “Madame Web is unique in its approach as it narrates the standalone origin story of Madame Web, one of Marvel’s intriguing yet lesser-known characters. Starring Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic from Manhattan with potential precognitive powers, the film delves into her journey of uncovering truths about her past and cultivating bonds with three prodigious young women facing a perilous reality.”
Helmed by director S.J. Clarkson, who collaborated on the script with writers Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless, and Claire Parker. The movie features Dakota Johnson as the titular character, with support from Sydney Sweeney playing Julia Cornwall, Celeste O’Connor as Mattie Franklin, Isabela Merced as Anya Corazon, and Tahar Rahim as the villainous Ezekiel Sims.
