When Dakota Johnson took on the role of “Madame Web,” she ventured into uncharted territory, one that she is adamant she won’t revisit. Critiquing the vision behind the film, she expressed that it seemed to be manufactured by studio executives seeing potential box office figures rather than a fleshed-out cinematic concept. Despite being part of the broader Spider-Man universe, the film failed to resonate with audiences who are typically loyal to prominent figures like Spider-Man and Venom, characters who have proven their worth at the box office.
Johnson candidly shared with Bustle her thoughts on her superhero venture:
“I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world. And I know that now. But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, Wait, what? But it was a real learning experience, and of course, it’s not nice to be a part of something that’s ripped to shreds, but I can’t say that I don’t understand.”
Accordingly, Dakota Johnson has made peace with her superhero stint but suggests that “Madame Web” may well be her first and last foray into such projects.
