Madame Web is set to follow in the footsteps of hit Netflix series 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jessica Jones, says director S. J. Clarkson, as she teases the Sony Marvel movie's "grounded" and "gritty" tone.

In , which features 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune: Part 2 on the cover and is out this Thursday, the British filmmaker, who has worked on titles such as Orange is the New Black, Bates Motel, and The Defenders, d💛escribes Jones' and Madame Web protagonist Cassandra Web as "loners"ౠ. Not only that, but they're both "a little bit abrasive, a bit quirky, and on the outer edges of things". 

"With JJ, she had PTSD. That [sense of] reality to it was its success in a way. I suppose it's the same with Madame Weཧb," she continues. Clarkson previously helmed the opening two episodes of Jessica Jones, 'AKA Ladies Night' and 'AKA Crush Syndrome', so it's no wonder the two tit♒les have their likenesses.

Starring Adam Scott, Sydney Sweeney, Tahar Rahim, and Dakota Johnson, who can be seen in Total Film's exclusive image above, Clarkson's latest centers on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New York-based paramedic Cassandr🍌a Web, whose clairvoyant abilities allow her to see into the "spider world" – and the future, too. When three young women w🤪ith web-slinging abilities are threatened by a seemingly ruthless killer named Ezekiel Sims, Cassandra must use her powꦚers to keep the trio safe.
