Fans Share Theories About Dakota Johnson’s Surprising Agency Move
Madame Webis set to release on Valentine’s Day weekend and will see two heartthrobs of Hollywood, Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, share screen space together. Johnson who plays the titular role of Cassandra Webb aka Madame Web, will be tapping into her superhero side for the first time. While there has been a lot of anticipation regarding Marvel’s comeback after mediocre outings at the box office recently, Johnson is also creating some debate regarding her actions ahead of the film’s release.
This change of heart has raised wild theories among fans regarding the reasons behind the beautiful star jumping camps so suddenly. Considering Marvel’s dismal year at the box office, netizens believed that Johnson may have been misled by WME into entering the franchise, which she allegedly wanted to compensate for through her agency shift.
While many viewers were also skeptical about the film’s success, Johnson’s monologue onSaturday Night Livein which she described the movie as ‘like if AI generated your boyfriend’s perfect movie’, is also making fans wonder if the star herself finds the film cringeworthy.

My guess is she trusted her agent when he said it’s a Marvel movie that it was MCU. Got stuck in this crap and has been waiting on the NDA date of the movie to fire them.

Her SNL monologue made it clear she was embarrassed to be in it

While talking about her character and the various action scenes that were involved, Johnson revealed that the visual and technical aspects ofMadame Webmay have intimidated her a lot more than she expected.The Lost Daughterstar spokeEntertainment Weeklyabout her trepidations and said,
“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!’”
Johnson’s candid confessions about not being confident in her abilities made fans nervous about how the film will fare at the box office.
