Dakota Johnson Is ‘Madame Web’s’ Star and Biggest Skeptic
Dakota Johnson might not come across as the most obvious choice to helm a major studio blockbuster. Even with her track record of starring in the juggernaut Fifty Shades franchise, Johnson, with her vaguely above-it-all demeanor and pointed sense of humor, comes across as the sort of person who doesn’t take anything too seriously.
Those personality traits make her a reliably click-worthy interviewee, as we’ve seen during her current press tour for Madame Web. But when it comes to her debut Marvel role, her sarcasm is hilariously meeting its inverse: the most earnestly devoted movie fan base of the 21st century.
This isn’t to say Johnson should change a thing about her approach. In fact, her commitment to questioning and skewering the hoopla around Marvel movies from within the superhero movie machine may just draw in audiences who, like her, seemingly have no idea what the big deal is in the first place.
