Dakota Johnson Admits She’s Not All that Well-Versed in Marvel Movies
More than 2 months ago ‘Madame Web’ was released and the results have been catastrophic. The movie was an obvious box-office flop earning only $6 million on its first day. Instead of competing with the likes of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. ‘ or at least, the recently released ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ the movie did not manage to outperform ‘Morbius.’ There’s also the issue of critical reception, the movie is currently rated at 12% on Rotten Tomatoes by critics and 57% by the audience, making the movie “rotten.”
The story was highly criticized for being disjointed, and there’s also the issue of somewhat false advertising as the promo photos and trailers showed all three Spider-Women already having superpowers and fully costumed, but in the movie, we don’t even see their origin stories. Fans pointed out many possible reasons for a failure of such massive scope, among them being the unfamiliarity with the source material, and as the actors and the director were doing damage control, it was obvious that Dakota Johnson had given up on it. In her recent interview, Johnson was frank regarding the factors that led to the movie flopping, which threw her in some hot water with the studio.
But the writers and movie execs were not the only ones being unfamiliar with the story and the character overall. There are reports that most of the cast members were convinced they were joining the MCU, and Dakota herself admitted that she didn’t exactly watch the MCU movies, not even Spider-Man-related movies which are connected to her own character, indirectly.
During her recent MTV interview, the interviewer asked Dakota what percent of Marvel movies did she watch and she answered honestly.
4 %, which is like 15 minutes of one.
The math doesn’t add up on this one but okay. She was then asked to name Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man’ movies.
‘Spider-Man: Here He Comes,’ ‘Spider-Man, And He’s Back,’ and the other one, the last one is, ‘The Goblet of Spider-Man.’ ‘Harry, Spider-Man and the Goblet of Man.’
Dakota wasn’t serious when she was listing the movies of course, but that doesn’t make it any less sad.
