After Madame Web’s Infamous Flop, Would Adam Scott Do Another Superhero Flick? Here’s His Thoughts

For comic book movie enthusiasts transitioning into the year 2025, there’s plenty to look forward to from both sides of the major contenders in the industry. This is even more true when you consider the release of Madame Web in 2024, a film that likely won’t make it onto the list of top Marvel movies.

Given the poor quality of the image submitted in Sony’s seemingly defunct Spider-Man Universe contest, it has sparked curiosity among fans about whether co-star Adam Scott would consider reentering the realm of superhero films. During a conversation with ComicBook regarding his successful Apple TV+ series Severance, Scott did provide a response to this question.

It’s as charmingly diplomatic as you’d expect, as the man provided the following stance:

While I can’t definitively say, it’s quite possible that I engage with such films as a spectator. I find myself drawn to them and eagerly watching every single one that comes my way.

Even though the Sony Spider-Man universe appears to have ended, it’s possible that characters from those films could still make a surprise appearance in the future. As the ties between Tom Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker and the Marvel Cinematic Universe grow stronger, characters from this earlier attempt at expansion might reappear when we least expect it.

Yet, it’s important to note that not all characters have an equal chance of making a strong comeback. It appears that Jared Leto’s character in Morbius might be frozen for an extended period, as is likely the case with most characters from the upcoming film Madame Web.

Considering the details about Spider-Man 4 and the fact that Tom Holland’s version of Uncle Ben remains unseen, Adam Scott might hold a special advantage if he decides to continue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’d be quite intriguing if Scott were to bring Uncle Ben to life, especially with his own interpretation of the iconic catchphrase from Madame Web, potentially through a flashback scene.

Of course, another scenario could involve the actor from Parks and Recreation joining the cast of upcoming DC films. With James Gunn and Peter Safran leading a fresh vision for the cinematic universe, fans of Adam Scott are likely brainstorming their ideal casting choices for potential roles in the coming days.

The severe backlash against Madame Web has undeniably impacted both fans and creators, but it’s worth noting that Mr. Scott remains an attractive talent who can draw a crowd. If the situation were handled correctly and the appeal was strong enough, there’s a chance we might see this popular actor taking on comic book roles once more.

Currently, enthusiasts of Adam Scott can anticipate the release of “Severance” Season 2, slated for January 17th. Meanwhile, if you’d like to reminisce about Adam Scott’s commendable portrayal of Ben Parker, your Netflix subscription offers the perfect opportunity to do so.
