Fade in: We open to a large cathedral known as Candlelight Catacombs. Inside, a violent cult decked out in red, purple, and black safari suits, armed with firearms, carries a canister with an alien-like entity inside. Frances Louise Barrison, also known as Shriek (played by Naomie Harris), kneels on the altar in a white dress, her wrists bound in blood-red cloth. The cult's priest, dressed in white, speaks his cult words to Frances before injecting a glowing black and purple radioactive ichor drug into her veins. As one of the cultists opens the canister, the alien entity bonds with Frances, causing her skin to turn icy pale, her hair dreads becoming purple and blue, and her eyes glowing bright blue and purple. With a scream of pain, she breaks free, obliterates the cultists, and escapes the chapel. Cut to a large bank where Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man (played by Andrew Garfield), engages in a brawl with Herman Schultz, aka Shocker (played by Ashton Kutcher). Schultz is decked in a brown leather quilted biker jacket with padded yellow sleeves, metal gauntlets upgraded with sonar tech that glows gold and emits concussive blasts, a yellow hoodie, a yellow shiesty mask, silver goggles, and brown and yellow track pants. After taking down Shocker, Peter is spied on by Shriek, now dressed in a purple leather studded biker jacket, blue holographic skate skirt, blue high leather boots, bright red lipstick, bright purple cross earrings, and a black diamond spot on her left eye. Her powers include generating and shooting bright purple sonic blasts, sonic spheres, blue sonic shields, ultrasonic waves, absolute illusions, flight, mind control, hypnosis, intimate healing, and spellcasting. Shriek captures and traps Spider-Man in her dimension, a twisted seductive smile on her face as she subjects him to heartbreaking illusions of his worst fears and memories. Peter is surrounded by visions of past villains and heart-wrenching scenes, including his losses and moments of suffering with Peter crying and Shriek conforts and seduces Peter, promising him distorted versions of love and passion as she leads him deeper into her dark fantasies. In a moment of intense intimacy, Shriek seduces Peter into a twisted encounter, promising him relief from his pain and offering a warped sense of love and acceptance. As they engage in a passionate act, Shriek's powers envelop Peter, creating a sense of entrapment and control over his emotions and desires. After their encounter, Shriek continues to manipulate Peter, leading him further into her web of illusions, promising him a life of eternal devotion and dark secrets. With her powers of illusion, she transports them to her darkest heaven nightclub, where they dance in a seductive and intoxicating manner, Shriek singing to Peter about their passionate bond and shared desires. As their journey continues, Shriek's hold on Peter grows stronger, and she uses her powers to transport them back to her chamber of illusions. There, she tucks Peter into bed, whispering soothing words and casting spells to ensure he remains under her control. Her dark influence over Peter deepens as she promises him a life of eternal love and devotion within her darkest heaven. However, Peter's inner strength and resilience begin to surface as he confronts the illusions created by Shriek. With the help of positive memories and the spirit of Gwen Stacy, he finds the courage to resist Shriek's manipulations and break free from her control. In a race against time, Peter must save himself from Shriek's dark grasp before it's too late. Fade out.
