Madame Web sequel would “definitely” get Dakota Johnson back in starring role
Sony PicturesMadame Web star Dakota Johnson claims she would “definitely” return for a sequel if they want her to “come back.”
While Sony may have cut a deal with Disney to allow Spider-Man to appear in the MCU, many secondary characters have remained completely disconnected and instead, are forming a separate Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was a massive success for Sony and Disney both, however, the projects that have been developed without the assistance of the MCU have largely struggled to perform.
Madame Web is the latest Sony Spider-Verse film to release, bringing the titular character, best known from her role in the Spider-Man comics, into the world of live-action for the first time ever.
As well as this, the film also introduces Spider-Woman and more into the Sony Spider-Verse. The likes of Sydney Sweeny and more also starred alongside Johnson.
While the movie has only been out for a short while, it is already being slammed by fans and critics alike.
With a critical score of 16% on Rotten Tomatoes and memes already circulating around the internet, the future of Madame Web looks less than promising.
Despite the early negative response, the film’s star, Dakota Johnson, has admitted she’d love to come to play the titular character again if she gets the chance.
During an interview with GamesRadar, Johnson was asked if she’d be interested in returning to the role if she was given the chance. The star was quick to reply, revealing, “If they want me to come back then I definitely will,” Johnson began. “I have no idea what’s in store.”
Johnson’s desire to return may come as a surprise to fans, the actor speaking out about the hardships she faced working on a film that largely relied on CGI. As well as this, she also noted that the script changed “drastically” from when she signed on to the final product.
Madame Web is currently in theatres across the world. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if Sony does reveal any plans for a sequel or what the future holds for Madame Web.
