Dakota Johnson opens for whom Marvels Madame Web Fallor

Dakota Johnson does not regret “Madame Web”, despite the fact that Marvel Superheroes movie of 2024 is considered a critical and commercial failure.

In an interview with Los Angeles Times this week, Johnson said that the failure of the movie “was not my fault” and, instead, it was due to “many creative decisions” taken by “people who do not have a creative bone in their body.”

“It’s really difficult to make art that way. Or do something entertaining that way,” he explained. “And I think that unfortunately with ‘Madame Web’, it began as something and became something else. And it was a little for the trip at that time. But that happens. The most budget films fail all the time.”

Directed by SJ Clarksson, “Madame Web” stars in Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic whose brush with death awakens latent psychic powers. In addition to Johnson, the film presents a star support cast, which includes Emma Roberts, Adam Scott and Sydney Sweeney.

The “Madame Web” reviews were largely negative, with the Hollywood Reporter called it “an effort without air and forced driven by a mechanical script.”

According to the reports, the film cost around $ 80 million to produce, but raised $ 25.8 million in its opening week, so it is the lowest box office in the history of Sony’s “Spider-Man” franchise.

Johnson, who returns to the big screen in the “The Materialists” romantic comedy, has previously hinted at his frustrations with “Madame Web”.

“Unfortunately, I am not surprised that this has happened as it has done,” he told Bustle in March last year, shortly after the movie was released. “I had never done something like that before. I will probably never do anything like that because I don’t make sense in that world. And now I know.”

“But sometimes in this industry, you enroll in something, and it is one thing and then, as you are doing it, it becomes completely different, and you are like, Wait, what? She added at that time. “But it was a real learning experience and, of course, it is not pleasant to be part of something that is torn, but I can’t say that I don’t understand.”

Johnson offered a more pragmatic version of the situation in his chat of Los Angeles Times, telling him at the exit: “There is no part of me that is like, ‘Oh, I will never do that again’ to anything. I have made even small films that do not work well. Who cares?”

Fortunately for Johnson, the early rumor in “The Materialists”, which is also starring Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, has been positive. Critics who have examined the film so far have called it “a brutally realistic and beautiful examination of love”, while praising Johnson as “a perfect imperfect protagonist.”
