Madame Web it’s not like other superhero movies.

Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra, aka Madame Web, in the upcoming film, described as “a stand-alone origin story for one of Marvel’s most enigmatic heroines.” Her character can see a glimpse of the future — and potentially change events to save the day.

Madame Web is “a different kind of superhero story,” actress Sydney Sweeney says in the video.

Johnson adds, “This film and this story is catapulting [Cassandra] in discovering her superpowers.” Teases Sweeney, “There are all these different webs that she puts together.”

Official synopsis for Madame Web says the tense thriller follows Cassandra Webb, “a Manhattan paramedic who develops the power to see the future and realizes she can use that insight to change it.”

“Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forms a bond with three young women bound by powerful destinies—if they can all survive the deadly present.”

Those three women (who develop Spidey’s powers) are Sweeney’s Julia Cornwall, Celeste O’Connor’s Mattie Franklin, and Isabela Merced’s Anya Corazon. And villain Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim) is determined to stop them from reaching their full super power potential.

The cast also includes Adam Scott, Emma Roberts and Mike Epps.

Fifty shades of grey alum Johnson, 34, recently said Entertainment Weekly about making the movie, saying, “I’ve never done a movie where you’re on a blue screen, where you hear fake explosions, and someone says, ‘Explosion!’ and you’re acting like there’s been an explosion. That was absolutely psychotic to me.”

“I thought, ‘I don’t know if this is going to be any good! I hope I did a good job!’ she joked.

Madame Web, directed by SJ Clarkson, is in theaters on February 14.
