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.

Insiders say that due to her psychic sensory powers, she is essentially Sony’s version of Doctor Strange. Roberts’ role in the film in unknown.

For Roberts, this will mark her first Marvel pic after recently wrapping production on the upcoming rom-com Maybe I Dowhich also stars Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere.
