In her latest foray into superhero cinema, Dakota Johnson encountered unforeseen challenges, particularly during the production of Madame Web. Despite her adept navigation of varied roles, the seasoned actress grappled with an unprecedented obstacle: blue-screen technology. This novel experience tested Johnson’s versatility, adding a layer of complexity she had not foreseen.
Dakota Johnson’s Marvel Movie Shoot Proved To Be Quite Challenging
In the Marvel movie scene, Dakota Johnson, known for her versatile acting chops, took on a hefty challenge while filming. She trusted director SJ Clarkson big time during the shoot for Madame Web.
Johnson, who plays Cassandra Webb in this Spider-Man universe flick, dishes on her experience with CGI effects and blue screens. Chatting with Entertainment Weekly, she spilled that it was a whole new ball game for her, stepping into a movie where blue screens were the norm.
Feeling a bit out there, she confessed to having zero clue if her performance hit the mark. Still, she put her faith in Clarkson, praising her relentless dedication to the project. The actress stated,
“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 OK job.”
Clarkson roped Johnson in for the superhero gig in 2021, fresh off her stint in The Lost Daughter. However, throughout the process, Johnson’s commitment and flexibility earned her props from the crew.
With her unique flair, Johnson’s take on Cassandra promises to spice up the Marvel universe, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her big-screen debut in this thrilling ride. Plus, the actress also spilled on the stunts she tackled for Madame Web.
Dakota Johnson Boasts About Her Stunt Driving In Madame Web
The 34-year-old isn’t just doing her thing in Madame Web; she’s also pulling off some cool stunt driving. Known for Fifty Shades, she’s now part of Marvel’s Spider-Verse. Madame Web’s star, Johnson, has more than her acting skills to offer.
In the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, she playfully compared her stunt driving to Tom Cruise’s.
“I got to do a day of stunt driving work, and I’m really good at it, it seems! I mean, I can do some really wild things with a car. I drove an ambulance. I drove a taxicab.
Further, the How to be Single artist added,
“I drove everything in the movie — except for flying through the air and out of a building. But other than that, I’m like, Watch out, Tom Cruise.”
From ambulances to taxicabs, she drove it all in the movie. With her dedication, Johnson brings authenticity to Madame Web.
She’s all set to join Marvel and Sony’s shared universe, giving life to the clairvoyant Cassandra Webb in theaters this February. While Cassandra’s power to see the future is intriguing, Johnson worked hard to make it relatable and realistic for the audience.
