Sony Pictures is reportedly developing a female-centric movie based on a Marvel Comics character with director SJ Clarkson. According to reports, the character has not been disclosed officially but it is rumoured to be Madame Web.
As per Marvel comics, the character is usually depicted as an elderly, clairvoyant blind woman suffering from a chronic neuromuscular disease that makes it difficult to move and breathe, and as such, she's connected to a life support system that looks like a
