Is Dakota Johnson's 'Madame Web' Set in The 'Venom' and 'Spider-Man' Universe?

'Madame Web' swings into Sony's 'Spider-Verse,' currently on an ambitious expansion spree. Despite the Tom Holland 'Spider-Man' flicks hitting the jackpot, Sony's attempt at spinning a cinematic universe around Spider-Man's crew has drawn a mixed bag of reviews.

'Venom,' headlined by Tom Hardy in 2018, laid the foundation for Sony's realm and its sequel, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage,' rode that wave. Enter 'Madame Web,' with Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in the limelight.

The 'Madame Web' film and the much-anticipated 'Venom 3' seem to share a connection that goes beyond mere plotlines. A recent New Rockstars YouTube dive delves deep into this connection, keeping the audience on their toes. How exactly is 'Madame Web' entwined with the Venom and Spider-Man universe?

Initially, IMDb claimed Madame Web's origin story was a standalone, detached from 'Venom' and the 'Spider-Man' universe. However, whispers suggest a covert connection that could reshape Sony's Spider-Man tapestry.

The New Rockstars video breaks down the link between 'Madame Web,' 'Venom 3' and the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse. Picture the Multiverse as a tree – a symbol mirrored in both Sony and Marvel's animated and live-action features. The host explains how both studios have adopted the tree metaphor, with the spiderverse as a distinct entity on the branches, akin to a spider web.

Both subscribe to the notion that Destiny pulls the strings, yet characters possess the power to defy their scripted fate.

Eddie and Venom make a cameo in the MCU post-credits of 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage.' The host speculates on cosmic forces, like the web of life and destiny, orchestrating this crossover. Could it be part of a grander plan in the Multiverse?

The video emphasizes Destiny's role in 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.' 'Madame Web,' with her future-seeing abilities, emerges as the guardian of the Spider-Verse, paralleling Loki's position as the God of storytelling in the MCU.
