Dakota Johnson is in trouble with Sony and the team behind Madame Web after her recent comments about the film!

Dakota Johnson ain’t trying to sugar coat what a complete flop Madame Web is.

Following the disastrous showing of Sony‘s “Spider-Man” spin-off “Madame Web” and the huge blowback from both audiences and critics who all seemingly despised the film, Dakota Johnson says she’ll “probably will never do anything like it again,” meaning appear or star in a superhero film. In a new interview with Bustle, Johnson expressed her overall disappointment with the film but admitted she wasn’t surprised with the outcome.

Dakota Johnson‘s latest interview has a lot of fun tidbits, including some quotes about the negative reviews surrounding Madame Web. Dakota even acknowledged that she understood why the film was “ripped to shreds.”

new superhero movie “Madame Web” tanked at the box office last week and was overwhelmingly panned by critics.In the film, the 34-year-old actress played the titular character of Cassandra Webb/Madame Web, a clairvoyant paramedic linked to the iconic superhero Spider-Man. “Madame Web” earned only $26.2 million over the six-day holiday weekend from its premiere on Valentine’s Day to Presidents Day, per Variety.“Madame Web’s” debut marked the lowest opening for any film in the Sony Spider-Man universe and one of the worst starts for any movie based on a Marvel Comics character.

Madame Web has registered one of the weakest box office opening weeks of all time for a film based on a Marvel character.The film was released into cinemas around the world on February 14, and in its first six days, it took just $26.2 million (£20.8 million) in the US, and a further $25.7 million (£20.4 million) internationally. This represents an underperformance, even compared to Sony’s recent Morbius, which itself was seen as a commercial disappointment.Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson in the lead role as a woman who develops psychic abilities.

Madame Web is swinging in at second place after a disappointing opening weekend at the box office.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Not too long ago, it would have been considered a box office suicide mission to pit any new release against a superhero movie. But this weekend’s showdown of Sony’s comic book adaptation “Madame Web” versus Paramount’s musical biopic “Bob Marley: One Love” demonstrates that’s no longer the case — superhero tentpoles no longer hold all the power. “One Love,” a PG-13 drama that’s aimed at older female audiences, towered over the newest Marvel (adjacent) flick, earning $51 million over the extended holiday weekend.

You have to smile and grit your teeth through photo opp after photo opp, nod along in every interview.Yet most actors have to play along with the game, never showing their annoyance or fatigue in order to avoid being labeled difficult or ungrateful, an asshole if they are a man and a diva if they are a woman.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Without Valentine’s Day date nights to bolster grosses, ticket sales for “Bob Marley: One Love” fell sharply on Thursday. The drama about the reggae legend earned $3.8 million in its second day of release, a 73% drop from its debut that brings its stateside total to $17.9 million. The Paramount release is hoping to hit the right notes over Presidents Day.

As many predicted, “Madame Web” is a terrible movie, but let’s not say the same for Dakota Johnson‘s recent press tour for Sony‘s “Spider-Verse” spinoff. The actress has been publicity gold the past few weeks discussing the film.

Dakota Johnson admitted her three Gen Z co-stars in her new film "Madame Web" make her feel old. "I love them, and they annoy me, and I love them," the 34-year-old joked to "Late Night" host Seth Myers last week. She confirmed she meant she was annoyed on a "generational level," telling Myers "all the time, every second of the day" after he asked when Sydney Sweeney, 26, Celeste O’Connor, 25, and Isabela Merced, 22, made her feel the oldest.
