Part 6/7:
Coming Disappointments in the Spider-Man Universe?
Adding to the pessimism is the fact that this new entry is part of Sony's expanding Spider-Man universe, which has had its share of misfires, notably Morbius. The same creative team behind Morbius is reportedly involved, and initial responses to marketing suggest Madame Webb could follow its predecessor in financial and critical failure.
With theatrical releases expected in February 2024, industry watchers are already predicting a "dump" at the box office, with many assuming the film's at-best middling reception and poor word-of-mouth will doom its commercial prospects.
