During the promotional run for Madame Web, which is scheduled to sling its web into theatres from tomorrow, Dakota Johnson has mostly seemed unenthused about Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU)’s fourth title.
Instead of hyping up the titular character’s origin story and shedding light on what fans can expect from Sony’s standalone universe, Johnson has used her tour to criticize Hollywood’s reluctance to embrace creativity, taken aim at the “nepo baby” controversy, and told fans how “psychotic” the experience of working with a blue screen was.
Her recent response when asked about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies has also not gone down well with fans of the CBM genre. Regardless, Johnson’s followers continue to eat, with their eyes closed, whatever she has been serving.
Dakota Johnson Fails to Name Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Movies; Her Fans Couldn’t Care Less
Dakota Johnson is entering the Spider-verse, as Cassandra Webb, the clairvoyant paramedic, who is forced to confront revelations about her past.
Madame Web is not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Tom Holland isn’t going to surprise fans by appearing alongside Johnson and Sydney Sweeney. Still, every title in the SSU, including Tom Hardy’s Venom, is closely connected to Spider-Man, as they are based on classic characters from the Spider-Man comics.
As such, it’s not too much to expect Johnson to have seen (or just know about) Holland’s Spider-Man movies. During an interview with MTV, the Fifty Shades of Grey star was asked if she could name the “three Spider-Man Tom Holland” movies.
She replied: “Spider-Man: Here He Comes, Spider-Man: And He’s Back, and The Goblet of Spider-Man.”
Much to no one’s astonishment, her fans absolutely loved her answers.
She’s such a joy lmao

This is actually hilarious and I love her, BUT this further proves this film has been made with zero love for the art and a lot of love for the green.

honestly, better than the actual names they gave those movies.

Johnson is known for her candid and hilarious interviews. As such, she may have been just sticking to her brand and purposefully blurted out random names.
However, for once, it would’ve been better to instill some confidence in Spider-Man fans by showing she’s fully into the project and understands what the SSU is all about.
Dakota Johnson Knows Plenty About Harry Potter
Johnson may not be a big fan of movies inspired by Marvel Comics, but she definitely loves J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter.
In the same interview, the host Josh Horowitz asked the 34-year-old if she is a Harry Potter fan. Johnson confessed she loved the fantasy series so much that she agreed to go to boarding school, as she thought it was going to be like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Needless to say, she had a rude awakening.
Horowitz added that Harry Potter is returning as a TV reboot before asking Johnson if she’d like to be part of that. The Persuasion star said she doesn’t know the answer yet.
However, she did depict her knowledge of the series by naming different houses in Hogwarts. Her favorite one is Ravenclaw, by the way!
