Dakota Johnson Reveals Why Madame Web’s Powers Are Different From Other Marvel Heroes
When I saw the movie, your director S.J. Clarkson introduced the film and talked about the difficulty of finding the magic in your character’s powers in her opening remarks. They’re very internal and aren’t very active, so they were harder to get a grip on. So I was wondering, how did you go about deciding how to portray your character’s powers?
If it weren’t for all of the cool stuff that S.J. did with the camera, you probably wouldn’t know that Cassie was having a vision. Her powers really manifest in the edit, so it’s not something that’s CGI, it’s not something that’s performance-based. It’s really editing. And we had the most amazing editor on this film, Leigh [Folsom Boyd], and she’s extraordinary at her job. So it was really a matter of what we were able to film and then how she was able to cut it together to make it seem as though you’re seeing Cassie have a vision.
