Dakota Johnson never imagined she'd be in the superhero world, until she read the "gritty" script for Madame Web

Dakota Johnson as Cassie in Madame Web.

Madame Web star Dakota Johnson has opened up on what drew her to the Sony Marvel movie – and no, it doesn't really have anything to do with getting to play a comic book character.

"I hadn't ever thought that I would be in a superhero world," the actor candidly tells GamesRadar+ and the Inside Total Film podcast ahead of the flick's release. "But then when the script came along, I loved the idea of a superhero being a young woman whose mind was extremely powerful, and I liked the dynamic between her and these three young women; how they genuinely protect and support and care for each other. And so, it just seemed different to me and it was way more grounded and real and gritty. I just thought it was an interesting way to experience that world."
