While 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Madame Web, the new outing in Sony Marvel's ever-expanding Spider-Man universe, is 🌺considered a camp classic on Twitter, it's fair to say that wider audiences... didn't love the Cassandra Webb movie. Star Sydney Sweeney isn't too bothered by the 🦩backlash, though.

"I was just💛 hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for th🧸e ride for whatever was going to happen," Sweeney candidly told while promoting her upcoming religious horror Immaculate.

An origin story of sorts, Madame Web follows New York-based paramedic Cassie (Dakota Johnson), as it reinvents her comic book beginnings and presen💖ts a new way in which 𒉰she becomes the eponymous superhero. Directed by Jessica Jones' S. J. Clarkson, it sees Cassie inexplicably finds herself with psychic abilities following a near-death experience.

Onboard a train one evening, she sees a horrifying vision of a man murdering three young women – one of which is Sweeney's character Julia Cornwall – and saves them all by intervening, subsequently thrusting the fourso𝓀me into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the would-be killer.

The film is said to have pulled in a disappointing $96.9 million, which is very little when you consider it cost around $80 million to make. In terms of reviews, it's currently rated just 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, beating out the likes of Morbius and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Venom: Let There Be Carnage in terms of lowest score.
