Isabela Merced, one of the protagonists of Madame Web who gives life to the character of Anya Corazon, explains the decision behind one of the most criticized elements of the film.
Madame Web has had blows rained down on her from all sides: dozens of things have been said about her and almost none of them good. She has been pointed out in a negative way from the most basic, such as her narrative, to more specific aspects of the latest film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, such as her costume design.
Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson in the role of the character that gives its name to the film, but also by three teenagers: Sydney Sweeney In the role of Julia CarpenterIsabela Merced embodying the Anya Corazon y Celeste O’Connor giving life to Mattie Franklin.
These three future superheroes have not yet developed their powers in the film, and that is why we see them most of the time wearing street clothes while it is in the visions of the future of Madame Web when they appear in their characteristic costumes.

The absence of their costumes has disappointed the audience quite a bit, however Anya Corazon actress he doesn’t see what the problem is with that: “When you get involved enough in the story, it’s like those things don’t really matter. You just wonder what’s best for the story.”
“And I think they did it for a reason, you know? It’s supposed to be an origin story.“he added Isabela Merced en The Wrap.
“It wouldn’t be an origin story if we watched half the movie with the suits on. I like that it’s a little preview, and I like that it leaves people wanting more“.
For now there are no confirmed plans for a sequel to Madame Web, although Dakota Johnson is open to participating in a new installment of this Sony’s Spider-Man Universe if there was: “If you want me to come back, I will.”
