Madame Web Swings into Record Books: Get ready for a web-slinging record breaker! A recent report hints that Madame Web is set to spin its way into the Sony Pictures history books with an unprecedented runtime.
Starring the dynamic duo of Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, Madame Web swings into theaters on February 14, making it the fourth installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSMU).
While the SSMU has experienced a mixed reception from both critics and moviegoers, the new female-led Madame Web film aims to captivate audiences on Valentine’s Day with a runtime reminiscent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
According to the reliable Norwegian ticketing company FilmWeb, Madame Web is poised to weave a 1 hour and 56-minute tale, surpassing the previous record-holder in this alternate universe, Venom, which clocked in at 1 hour and 52 minutes. Other SSMU entries include Morbius at 1 hour and 44 minutes and Venom: Let There Be Carnage at 1 hour and 37 minutes.
While Sony Pictures tends to keep their Spider-Man-adjacent stories concise, Madame Web’s nearly 2-hour runtime is longer than the usual modern-era Sony Marvel movie but still shorter than the average Marvel Studios superhero flick, which typically hovers around 2 hours and 10 minutes.
As fans gear up for the arachnid adventures, anticipation builds for Kraven the Hunter’s film, which is expected to maintain a runtime under two hours.
Reflecting on 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which earned mixed reviews, the film’s brisk 1 hour and 37-minute duration allowed viewers to head home early or catch a few tunes in the Dear Evan Hanson movie released the same weekend.
Madame Web’s trailer hints at a web of complexity, weaving together Cassandra Webb’s origin story, the emergence of multiple Spider-Women, and a finely threaded backstory linked to the film’s antagonist, Ezekiel Sims. With all these narrative strands converging, the approximately 2-hour runtime shouldn’t catch fans off guard.
Boasting a stellar cast including Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Adam Scott, Madame Web promises to unravel the characters’ depths in what looks to be Sony’s most extensive Spider-Man Universe film to date.
Save the date, superhero enthusiasts! Madame Web swings into theaters on February 14, promising a thrilling cinematic experience.
