Zosia Mamet hasn’t seen Madame Web, the turkey that crashed the Marvel franchise earlier this year and launched a thousand memes. “I chose not to,” she says with a smile. Mamet appeared in the Spider-Man spin-off, which has an 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was described by one reviewer as a “Chornobyl-level disaster”, and became one of this year’s biggest box-office bombs.
The 36-year-old actor laughs awkwardly when I mention it. For a few days in February, Madame Web – and lead actor Dakota Johnson’s sublime press tour – was all the internet wanted to talk about.
