Sony’s Madame Web faced significant backlash, culminating in a 10% Rotten Tomatoes score and a mere $100.3 million at the box office, but later became a major hit on Netflix in 2024. Despite its streaming success, no sequel is planned, leaving the character Cassandra Webb and her supporting cast without further development. Actor Tahar Rahim, who portrayed Ezekiel Sims, addressed the online ridicule, emphasizing his approach to the character as complex rather than purely villainous. He expressed a commitment to understanding Ezekiel’s nuanced motivations, despite the film’s shortcomings.
