We now have what looks like our first look at Madame Web’s suit from the upcoming movie, but the reveal didn’t come from Sony — it came from juice company Ocean Spray.
Reddit user Matapple13 appears to be the first person to have brought the suit to light after an image of an Ocean Spray product bearing the suited and booted Madame Web hit a Discord server. It shows a shiny red suit that, as you’d expect, has already set tongues wagging.

In November, Sony Pictures Entertainment released the debut trailer for Madame Web, directed by Jessica Jones’ S.J. Clarkson and due to hit theaters February 16, 2024. Madame Web is connected to the Sony Spider-Man cinematic universe, although it’s described as a “standalone origin story.”
In the Marvel comics, Madame Web, real name Cassandra Webb, is an elderly mutant with clairvoyant powers who has been associated with various Spider-Women. But the movie is set before Madame Web is in the wheelchair she is famous for using in the comics.
Dakota Johnson plays Madame Web, Sydney Sweeney plays Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman, and Tahar Rahim plays the Spider-Man-like villain, Ezekiel “Zeke” Sims. Celeste O’Connor plays Mattie Franklin/Spider-Woman (another one), and Isabela Merced is Anya Corazon/Araña.
After the debut trailer came out, the internet had a laugh about one line in particular, read by Madame Web as she describes the untimely death of her mother and Ezekiel’s potential role in it: “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.” It didn’t take long after the trailer went live for people to turn it into a meme, with plenty of jokes about mums going to the Amazon to research spiders.
Madame Web is one of many Spider-Man spinoffs in the works at Sony. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star in Kraven the Hunter in August 2024. Tom Hardy will reprise his role as Venom in the third film in the series, due out November 2024. There’s also El Muerto and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse coming up. Morbius, starring Jared Leto as the titular vampire anti-hero, came out in 2022.
