“I don’t know if it’s going to be good!” : Dakota Johnson’s concerns about Madame Web



Madame Web: new superheroes arriving

Sony Pictures continues to develop his superhero universe around Spider-Man. Recall that if the web weaver played by Tom Holland appeared in the films of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), the studio still holds the rights to the Marvel characters linked to the superhero. We have thus seen Poison (2018) launches Sony’s Spider-Man machine of this universe. Mrs. Web, scheduled for February 14, 2024, will be only the fourth feature film. We’ll see there Dakota Johnson plays the lead role of Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who develops powers of premonition.

It will then cross the path of three young girls, Julia Carpenter (Sydney Sweeney), Anya Corazon (Isabela Merced) and Martha Franklin (Celeste O’Connor), destined to become superheroes, and persecuted by Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim).

A complicated recovery for Dakota Johnson

Mrs. Web it is therefore a novelty in the superhero genre for Dakota Johnson, revealed with the saga Fifty Shades (2015-2018). Until now, the actress was more used to dramas or thrillers. It was therefore an opportunity for her to discover how these large productions are shot, with significant use of digital effects. As generally happens with this type of film, blue screens they were used to enable CGI production in post-production. A real novelty for Dakota Johnson who didn’t seem very confident, as she said during an interview with EW., even finding these shots”psychotic“.

I’ve never made a movie where we’re in front of a blue screen, where there are fake explosions, where someone says “Explosion!” and where we act like there’s an explosion. For me it was absolutely psychotic. I thought, “I don’t know if this is going to be any good! I hope I did a good job!”

It’s fun to see the actress’s lack of confidence in relation to his work. Understandable since she had to adapt to things that were completely new to her. And Dakota Johnson was forced to blindly trust director SJ Clarkson. For this reason you were often able to ask the director for details to find out “which scenes were real and which took place in Cassandra’s head“. We should indeed have during Mrs. Web sequences that will only be heroine’s premonitionsbefore returning to reality.

Finally the actress will be able to see the result of her performance like everyone else in the cinemas. In France it will be from 14 February 2024.
