Dakota Johnson

"I probably will never do anything like it again because I don’t make sense in that world," the actress says of her Marvel debut There’s no harm in trying something out and realizing that it isn’t a perfect fit. People do it all the time — making big moves, committing to an incompatible partner, wearing regrettable fashion trends. Dakota Johnson‘s one-and-done is Marvel’s Madame Web. “I probably will never do anything like it again,” the actress told Bustle in a new interview. “I don’t make sense…

Count Dakota Johnson out of any future superhero movie discourse. After Madame Web became Sony’s latest Spider-verse flop, the movie got ripped apart by the internet despite a rising cult of fans calling the messy film camp. Most recently on Saturday Night Live, Johnson’s co-star Sydney Sweeney joked you probably “didn’t see” her in the film—and as for Johnson herself, her sardonic press tour interviews said a lot in between her finely minced words.

You may have heard that Madame Web is not a good movie. That there are, in fact, things about Madame Web that could be described as “The Worst.” I am not here to refute those claims; there are in fact many things about Madame Web that are not what you would feasibly call “good.” But in its surprise camp turn, it embraces its period setting to deliver a potent reminder on how far superhero movies have come, and what they’ve lost along the way.Doctor Strange 2's Sam Raimi on America ChavezMadame Web jukes where the…

So much movie-making these days seems tragically engineered towards ginning up that one perfect shot, expression, quote, needle drop, or moment that’ll go bonkers viral and juice the box office receipts. But as any student of the extremely online will tell you, rarely can you manufacture these memes. They must happen naturally — catch us off guard with our defenses down so they can worm their way into our internet-addled brains and become a part of our cultural fabric (for at least as long as our attention spans will…

Madame Web is a two-hour trailer for the movie you think you’re watching, but actually aren’t. If that’s confusing, welcome to the world of Madame Web, where everyone—the characters, the actors, the audience, and everyone in between—is confused about basically everything, all of the time. It’s a film that sets specific expectations in terms of story and payoff, proceeds to seed and tease those payoffs throughout the movie, and then never delivers on them. When a film has to pretend to be something it’s not to keep you…

Trailers are designed to stir up excitement, the amuse-bouche that whets your appetite for the three-course meal. Occasionally, the oldest marketing trick in the book backfires. When Sony dropped a sneak peek at Madame Web, the newest addition to the company’s roster of Spider-Man–related films and another of their corporate crossovers with the good folks at Marvel Studios, the reaction was… not exactly what they hoped for. The same fans they were hoping to get riled up about a batch of fresh Spidey-adjacent characters…

This week’s Saturday Night Live kicked things off with a damn near unwatchable parody of CBS’ NFL broadcast before Dakota Johnson took the stage looking absolutely incredible, dressed in a number that recalled Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s black jumpsuit in Fleabag. The actress described her upcoming film Madame Web — a Spider-Man spinoff co-starring Sydney Sweeney — as “kind of like if AI generated your boyfriend’s perfect movie.” “I’ve been doing a lot of press for it and I’m just… not good at talking to…
