Madame Web” Director Talks Unique Approach to Marvel Movie
Director S.J. Clarkson expressed her disappointment at Madame Web never having her own comic, calling it "a travesty." Clarkson aimed to explore the enigmatic character's fringe existence, opting for a psychological thriller rather than a typical superhero film. Influenced by 70s classics like "Don't Look Now" and "The Conversation," she set the movie in 2003 for nostalgia. To maintain secrecy, they used code words like "Peru" and "Clair" during filming. Despite tight deadlines, Clarkson ensured quality visual effects, though the last shot pushed the team to the wire. "Madame Web" hits theaters on February 14, 2024.
