Madame Webs Dakota Johnson kalder branchen "really f*cking bleak"

Sonys næste Spider-Man spin-off efter Venom-filmene og Morbius hedder Madame Web, og den films første trailer er blevet mødt med forundren, fordi både replikker, sekvenser og generelt kvalitet lader til at halte gevaldigt.

Og stjernen bag filmen, Dakota Johnson, har efterladt os med nogle kommentarer der ikke ligefrem fylder biografgængere med ekstra tiltro til projektet. I en kommentar til L'Officiel går hun så langt som at kalde filmbranchen for "f*cking bleak":

"I am discovering that it's really fucking bleak in this industry. It is majorly disheartening. The people who run streaming platforms don't trust creative people or artists to know what's going to work, and that is just going to make us implode. It's really heartbreaking. It's just fucking so hard. It's so hard to get anything made. All of the stuff I'm interested in making is really different, and it's unique and it's very forward in whatever it is... People are just so afraid, and I'm like, why? What's going to happen if you do something brave? It just feels like nobody knows what to do and everyone's afraid. That's what it feels like. Everyone who makes decisions is afraid. They want to do the safe thing, and the safe thing is really boring."

Det skal dog siges, at Johnson også udtrykker tiltro til hendes egen karakter i Madame Web, selvom at reaktionerne mildest talt har været stærke:

"It was interesting to me that the main character's superpower is her mind, and that she is a woman. That is something that I can really get behind. That's very real to me, and it's really powerful and sexy... I think that the minds of women are incredibly powerful, so I think that it's a more relatable superhero. It is more of a psychological thriller. This film is a really fabulous departure for Marvel."
