Madame Web has been a disaster, and its lead actress knows it – so much so that she’s said she’ll probably “never do anything like it again.”
No one could have guessed (everyone could have guessed) that Madame Web would be a flop. And a flop it was, turning out to be as bad a box office flop as everyone predicted. It has somehow managed to do worse than Morbius, Sony’s previous live-action Spider-Verse failure. Now, speaking to Bustle, Madame Web herself Dakota Johnson has spoken a bit about her reactions to everyone else’s reactions to the film, and how she feels about bad reviews.
After being asked if her recent experiences had been weird, Johnson said, “Yeah. I had the LA premiere for Madame Web and then went to Mexico City. I had pneumonia and was on steroids and the nebulizer and doing all these little things, and I was really, really sick and felt horrible. I looked horrible. I was like, Ugh. And then the movie came out and it was… [Pauses.] Like, I can’t take any of it seriously at all. I dunno.”
