According to the film’s official synopsis, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. She forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures, but they must first survive a deadly present.

In addition to Dakota Johnson in the titular role, Madame Web will also star Isabela Merced as Anya Corazon aka Araña, Sydney Sweeney as Julia Carpenter, and Celeste O’Connor as Mattie Franklin, two future incarnations of Spider-Woman. They’ll be joined by Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, and Zosia Mamet.

Despite being based on Marvel comics, Madame Web won’t be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Columbia Pictures and Di Bonaventura Pictures developed it in collaboration with Marvel, while Sony Pictures will be in charge of distributing it. After several release date shifts, its premiere is now set for February 14, 2024.

Fans of the Spider-Man comic book series are familiar with Madame Web, but it’s highly likely the character will look much different in the upcoming film. The comics presented her as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis, connected to a life support system resembling a spiderweb, and she wasn’t able to actively fight villains due to her old age and health problems.

Scott is just the latest star to join Johnson in Madame Web, and the cast of this project is pretty impressive. Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Emma Roberts, and Tahar Rahim are also set to star in mystery roles.

Scott is best known for his comedic roles in Parks and Recreation and Party Down, but he made a successful transition to drama in the past few years. He received some of the best reviews of his career with the Apple TV+ drama Severance, which came out this spring. The first season of this sci-fi mystery series received 14 nominations for Emmy Award and earned Scott his first nod for this prestigious accolade.

Madame Web appeared as a supporting character in the Spider-Man comic book series, and she was depicted as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis, connected to a life support system resembling a spiderweb. She never actively fought any villains due to her age and medical condition, but it’s possible this adaptation will put a twist on her character.

Roberts is best known for playing multiple roles in the anthology series American Horror Story, most recently appearing in American Horror Story: 1984. She’s currently attached to several projects, including the romantic comedy Maybe I Do, starring Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, and Richard Gere. She’s also set to star in the animated movie Saurus City, comedy About Fate, and thriller Returns.

In addition to Johnson and Roberts, Madame Web will also star Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, and Tahar Rahim. S.J. Clarkson hopped on board as a director, while Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless penned the screenplay. The film’s premiere date is set for July 7, 2023.

According to the official log-line, this exciting project will center on Anne Elliot, “an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities, living with her snobby family who are on the brink of bankruptcy.” Her life takes an unexpected turn after her former suitor Frederick Wentworth returns to her life, and she has to choose between giving him a second chance or putting the past behind.

Persuasion has been adapted on several occasions, most notably as a 2007 TV movie starring Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones. The latest version will be adapted by Ron Bass and Alice Victoria Winslow, with Carrie Cracknell making her feature directing debut.

Persuasion isn’t the only high-profile project that Johnson is currently attached to. She’s also set to star in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directing debut The Lost Daughter and Stephanie Allynne and Tig Notaro’s Am I OK?

The show, Rodeo Queens, will follow an ensemble of Rodeo Queen hopefuls as they compete for a crown.

Christy Hall (I Am Not Okay With This) created the series and will serve as showrunner and exec produce alongside Johnson, Carrie Brownstein, Ro Donnelly, and Elisa Ellis. Brownstein, known for co-creating, starring in, and directing the critically-acclaimed comedy series Portlandia, will also direct. Her other TV directing credits include Mrs. Fletcher and Shrill.

This will mark Johnson’s return to TV. She previously starred in Fox’s Ben and Kate which ran for one season in 2012. The actress is best known for her role in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise.

Ellis, a Golden Globe-winning and three-time Emmy nominated actress best known for starring in Black-ish, Mixed-ish, and Girlfriends plays Grace Davis, a singer who is in a crossroads in her music career when her manager (Ice Cube) gives her a career-defining choice. Maggie (Dakota Johnson) Grace’s overworked assistant helps her come up with a plan to change her career around.

Also starring in The High Note are Kelvin Harrison Jr., Zoe Chao, Eddie Izzard, Bill Pullman, and Diplo.

“In all honesty, none of this is taken from the world I know of being my mom’s child,” Ellis told EW.

“The only thing is that I always had the dream of being able to sing. But this character was so beautifully and wonderfully written, and the story really has nothing to do with any of the things that I know from my mom’s experience. Except for the fact that there’s a real humanity to this woman and she’s not a paper-thin quote-unquote diva that the world usually paints larger-than-life women as. She’s a real person.”

The High Note is set to hit theatres on May 8. Until then, check out the trailer below.

The Friend tells the story of Nicole (Johnson) and Matthew Teague (Affleck) whose life falls apart after learning Nicole has just six months to live. Things turns for the better after the couple’s best friend (Segel) decides to put his life on hold and help them go through these difficult times.

Matthew Teague wrote the award-winning article for Esquire Magazine chronicling their journey, which served as inspiration for the script written by Brad Ingelsby. He’s thrilled and honored to see his story come to life, thanks to creative vision of the director Gabriela Cowperthwaite and everyone else working on this project.

“To have the talents of Dakota Johnson, Jason Segel and Casey Affleck help the story live on is remarkable. I hope the story gives people an honest glimpse of what it means to face mortality, and the value of having a true friend at your side, when that moment comes,” said Teague.
