Madame Webb: Celeste O’Connor in the Sony Marvel Movie

Actress Celeste O’Connor has starred in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” in “Madame Web,” an upcoming installment in Sony’s Marvel Characters universe.

O’Connor’s role has yet to be announced. They will appear in the comic book adventure alongside Dakota Johnson, who plays the main character, as well as Sidney Sweeney of “Euphoria” fame.

The film will serve as an origin story for Madame Web, a clairvoyant whose psychic abilities allow her to see the same spider world. In the Marvel comics, Madame Webb is an elderly, paralyzed woman with myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder that requires her to connect to a spider’s web-like life support system. Her supernatural abilities proved hugely beneficial to Spider-Man and his fellow arachnids, such as Spider-Woman. Given her condition, she has never fought against bad guys.

SJ Clarkson, a Marvel graduate through “Jessica Jones” and “The Defenders,” directs “Madame Web.” Matt Sasama and Burke Sharples, the duo behind Jared Leto’s vampire hero Morbius, write the script.

“Madame Web” is Sony’s first modern comic book to feature a female lead. It’s one of several Spider-Man-related spin-offs in Sony’s pipeline, including “Kraven the Hunter” featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ariana DeBose.

O’Connor will next appear in writer-director Zach Braff’s drama “A Good Person,” which also stars Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh. Most recently, O’Connor was seen in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and Joey King’s sci-fi romance The In Between. Their other credits include Blumhouse slasher movie “Freaky” and Netflix’s “You’re Irreplaceable”.

O’Connor represents Paradigm, Authentic Talent & Literary Management, and Granderson Des Rochers.
