Throughout her entire press tour, Dakota Johnson has woken up each day and chosen violence (judging by the bleak “Madame Web” reviews, this might be more entertaining than the movie itself). In January, she spoke to Entertainment Weekly and interestingly described the process of making the film, saying, “I’ve never really done a movie where you are on a blue screen, and there’s fake explosions going off, and someone’s going, ‘Explosion!’ and you act like there’s an explosion. That, to me, was absolutely psychotic. I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is going to be good at all! I hope that I did an okay job!'” Incredibly, calling her movie “absolutely psychotic” and wondering if it’ll be enjoyable was just the beginning.
Since that quote, Johnson has complained about how “annoying and boring” the nepo baby discourse is, said she hated being on “The Office,” challenged an interviewer over the most viral line from the “Madame Web” trailer, called her younger co-stars from the film “annoying,” and just generally been delightfully weird. As for the finished movie, she revealed she hasn’t seen it — saying she might watch it “someday.” On “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” when asked if you need to know about Spider-Man or Marvel to see the flick, she deadpanned, “You don’t have to know anything about anything at all to watch this movie.”
