Madame Web's box office flop has canceled plans for a new superhero franchise at Sony: 'We're not going to see another Madame Web movie for another decade plus'


Sony Pictures' Madame Web scored one of the lowest superhero box office debuts in recent memory, which has essentially cancelled a possible franchise at the studio.

The studio did have plans on starting a new franchise based on Dakota Johnson's title character and three other female charcters played by Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor. While some superhero movies like Morbius failed to impress critics and fans but still fared well internationall and pulled in $170 million worldwide, that likely won't happen with Madame Web. The movie was also being eyed to kick start a new franchise, with Madame Web using her clairvoyant abilities to assist three new Spider Women: Sydney Sweeney's Julia Cornwall, Isabela Merced's Anya Corazon and Celeste O'Connor's Mattie Franklin
