Emma Roberts, who played Mary Parker in the Spider-Man spin-off, said she was excited to explore the superhero genre more. Roberts is well-known for her role in “Madame Web.” Emma expressed her excitement for playing comic book characters in a recent interview with ComicBook.com, highlighting her wish to take on a part with more action and depth.
Recalling her brief part as Peter Parker’s mother, Emma said, “I loved popping in as a civilian in ‘Madame Web.'” She talked about her enjoyment on the set and her admiration for S.J. Clarkson, the film’s director. But Emma made a suggestion that she would want a superhero role with more substance, one that would allow her character to participate more fully in the plot and action scenes.
Reflecting on her character’s portrayal in ‘Madame Web,’ where she depicted a pregnant Mary Parker, Emma humorously acknowledged the challenges and uniqueness of her role. “I just got to wear a nine-month pregnant belly. Again, that is heroic! You don’t even know what that’s like,” she quipped. Emma drew parallels to her experiences on ‘American Horror Story,’ where she also portrayed a pregnant character for an extended period, adding a comedic touch to her reflections on the demands of such roles.
Despite ‘Madame Web’ facing criticism and underperforming at the box office earlier this year, Emma Roberts remained positive about her involvement in the project. She acknowledged the film’s mixed reception and shared her perspective on the unpredictability of film production dynamics. Despite the challenges, Emma expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the superhero genre and hinted at her ongoing interest in exploring diverse roles within it.
Although the movie “Madame Web” did not receive positive reviews, Dakota Johnson, who played the lead role, shared her thoughts on the movie. Dakota acknowledged that she was surprised by the movie’s reception in an interview with Bustle, but she also pointed out that working on this project was different from her regular parts and didn’t really fit with her usual acting approach. She thought about how unpredictable filmmaking is—first ideas can change drastically during production, producing surprising results.
Both Emma Roberts and Dakota Johnson’s perspectives highlight the complexities and challenges inherent in the superhero genre. For Emma, her brief but impactful role in ‘Madame Web’ served as a stepping stone towards potentially more substantial superhero roles. Her enthusiasm for the genre and desire to explore characters with deeper narrative arcs and action-packed sequences underscore her commitment to expanding her range as an actress.
Considering the difficulties “Madame Web” has endured, Emma Roberts is still hopeful about her future in the superhero genre. Her enthusiasm for storytelling and her wish to interact with dynamic characters in the world of comic book adaptations are reflected in her openness to take on a variety of roles and her enthusiastic attitude. With her commitment to bringing interesting people to life on screen, Emma’s path in the superhero universe is sure to be one of exploration and growth as she forges ahead in her career.
