(Marys husband, Richard, is apparently away on business and is never seen.)
The film ends with Mary going into labor, giving birth to a healthy baby boy.
(Again, not an exact match, but closer).
And becauseMadame Webis distributed by Sony, its not part of Disneys Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Shes definitely in a standalone world, Clarkson previously told EW.
So, will we see Johnsons heroine pop up in any future projects?
Only Madame Web can see the future and shes not telling.
