Dakota Johnson Says She Won’t Make Another Superhero Film

Madame Web flopped with critics and with viewers. Its star just isn’t stunned.

In a brand new interview, Dakota Johnson stated the poor opinions for her Spider-Man spinoff — which presently has a 12 p.c on Rotten Tomatoes — weren’t sudden, no less than by her.

“Unfortunately, I’m not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,” Johnson informed Bustle. “You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bulls—.”

The implication there, because it pertains to Madame Web … is refreshingly candid!

Johnson additionally claimed that “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?”

She added that she “probably will never do anything like [Madame Web] again because I don’t make sense in that world.”

In the movie, Johnson performs the title character — type of, nobody ever truly calls her Madame Web — a New York City EMT (who works with Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben within the early 2000s for some cause?) who discovers she has clairvoyant talents after surviving a near-death expertise. She then has to guard three different future Spider-Women from an evil Spider-Man named Ezekiel who desires to kill them. Quite merely, the movie was a complete mess.

Johnson famous that Madame Web 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.” Again: Extremely sincere! As somebody who suffered by Madame Web, I sincerely respect that.

Madame Web continues to be in theaters … though in all probability not for an excessive amount of longer.
