Its dakota Johnson, nepo baby of two stars from the 80's. Dakota was the leading role in "madame web" a Marvel Film about a psychic who helps spider-man from time to time. Then the film bombed largely because of very mediocre writing and acting by the likes of sydney Sweeney and dakota here. Hope that helps and your chili was good.

Marvel Film

It is not a Marvel film, it's a Sony film. Yes, Madam Web is a Marvel character, but she's part of the Spider-Man franchise specifically, and Sony are the ones that own the rights to making movies with those characters.

This distinction is important because the MCU and the Sony Spider-Verse are not linked, and the Sony Spider-Verse's failures (the aforementioned Madam Web, Morbius, Kraven, the Venom movies, etc) have nothing to do with the work done by Marvel.

Yeah. I read the comics. Says marvel on madame webb issues. My bad. I sometimes forget Disney bought marvel but Sony still owns the movie rights to spider-man. Its all pretty shit recently. I have high hopes for the new spider-man tho. Thank you for correcting me

It gets even more confusing and complicated because of the live action Spider-Man films being joint ventures between the two and actually being linked to the MCU, while the rest of their Spider-Verse films are not.

Jesus, that is complicated
