Dakota Johnson’s starring role in Sony’s Madame Web has resulted in a major critical and commercial failure, potentially disrupting Sony’s plans for a Spider-Man universe spin-off series. The movie, which was meant to kick off a new line of superhero films, instead became the latest in a series of poorly performing superhero releases, leaving Sony executives reportedly discouraged.
As found by The Guardian, in an interview with Bustle, Johnson herself said she is not surprised by the film’s negative reception and suggested she is unlikely to take on a similar project in the future. Madame Web, a superhero movie intended to expand the Spider-Man universe, earned a harsh 12% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a clear sign of its overwhelmingly bad reviews.
