Madame Web set photos

First shared by writer Kevin Slane from Boston.com, the first two photos from the Madame Web set were shared online complete with a few clues to tell us when the movie is going to be set.

The first image shows a couple of New York City cabs situated outside a Chase bank, with one of the taxi’s bumpers smashed. The key takeaway from this photo is the palm pilot on top of the left taxi that advertises a new 3G technology.

The second image shows a fenced-off alleyway, home to a brand-new billboard for Beyonce’s debut album Dangerously in Love.

The fact that Beyonce’s first album came out in 2003 combined with the release of a new “3G speed” suggests the film will take place during the early 2000s, or at least part of the plot.

Marvel fans have their say on the set photos

This detail has certainly set the Marvel fandom on a trail of plot discovery, with many trying to understand its significance.

Other fans thought that the possible 2000s setting was a dream come true for them, admitting that this concept increased their interest in the film:
