INSANE: Dakota johnson never imagined she d be in the superhero world until she read the gritty script for madame web - The Real Truth

Dakota Johnson as Cassie in Madame Web.

Madame Web star Dakota Johnson has opened up on what drew her to the Sony Marvel movie – and no, it doesn't really have anything to do with getting to play a comic book character.

"I hadn't ever thought that I would be in a superhero world," the actor candidly tells GamesRadar+ and the Inside Total Film podcast ahead of the flick's release. "But then when the script came along, I loved the idea of a superhero being a young woman whose mind was extremely powerful, and I liked the dynamic between her and these three young women; how they genuinely protect and support and care for each other. And so, it just seemed different to me and it was way more grounded and real and gritty. I just thought it was an interesting way to experience that world."
