Adam Scott joins Dakota Johnson in Sony's Marvel movie Madame Web
The cast also includes Sydney Sweeney, Emma Roberts, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, and Celeste O'Connor
Fresh from his Emmy nomination for Severance, Adam Scott’s next job is seemingly going to be very different. As confirmed by Deadline, the Parks And Recreation actor has joined the cast of Madame Web, Sony’s next expansion in its universe of Marvel characters. Starring Dakota Johnson (Persuasion), the cast also includes Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus), Emma Roberts (American Horror Story), Isabela Merced (Dora The Explorer), Tahar Rahim (A Prophet), and Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife).
Apart from Johnson playing the title character, details on the project have been kept under wraps. Madame Web was originally depicted as an elderly blind woman, but the title has also been held by the more youthful Julia Carpenter, which is presumably what’s happening here with Johnson’s casting. There is speculation that Merced’s character is Anya Corazon, the hero known as Araña, and that the film will be a Spider-Women team-up.
