Dakota Johnson Opens Up About Who's To Blame For Marvel's ‘Madame Web' Failure
Dakota Johnson has no regrets about 'Madame Web,' despite the 2024 Marvel superhero film being deemed a critical and commercial flop. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times this week, Johnson said the film's failure 'wasn't my fault' and was, instead, due to 'a lot of creative decisions' made by 'people who don't have a creative bone in their body.' 'It's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way,' she explained. 'And I think unfortunately with 'Madame Web,' it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' Directed by S.J. Clarkson, 'Madame Web' stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic whose brush with death awakens dormant psychic powers. In addition to Johnson, the film features an all-star supporting cast, which includes Emma Roberts, Adam Scott and Sydney Sweeney. Reviews for 'Madame Web' were largely negative, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it 'an airless and stilted endeavor driven by a mechanical screenplay.' The film reportedly cost about $80 million to produce but raked in a measly $25.8 million in its opening week, making it the lowest box office opening in the history of Sony's 'Spider-Man' franchise. Johnson, who returns to the big screen in the romantic comedy 'The Materialists,' has previously hinted at her frustrations with 'Madame Web.' 'Unfortunately, I'm not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,' she told Bustle in March of last year, shortly after the film was released. 'I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now.' 'But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it's one thing and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like, Wait, what?' she added at the time. 'But it was a real learning experience, and of course it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand.' Johnson offered a more pragmatic take on the situation in her Los Angeles Times chat, telling the outlet: 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' Fortunately for Johnson, early buzz on 'The Materialists' ― which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal ― has been positive. Critics who have screened the movie thus far have called it 'a brutally realistic and beautiful examination of love,' while praising Johnson as 'a perfect imperfect protagonist.'

Nets' Cam Johnson reacts to Knicks firing HC Tom Thibodeau
Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson has been on vacation for awhile with the Nets not making the postseason in any capacity following a 26-56 record in the 2024-25 regular-season. While Johnson is no doubt working on his game to be a better player for Brooklyn next season, he is also lending his voice on important NBA topics, including the New York Knicks firing head coach Tom Thibodeau. "It's kind of crazy to say this, but the initial thought now is not really shock," Johnson said during his recent appearance on "The Young Man and The Three" when asked by host Tommy Alter about the Knicks firing Thibodeau. ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Tuesday that the Knicks fired Thibodeau despite leading the team to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. Advertisement "I guess he kind of adds to complete that every coach of the year, from '18 to '23 has kind of found degrees of success," Johnson continued. "Kind of in the midst of it, being let go, but you kind of got to look at it from a team-building perspective. That team is a really good roster, and they're really close. So, I guess maybe ownership, front-office is just looking at it like, What can get us over the hump? I guess that's the best solution they had." As Johnson alluded to in his reaction, Thibodeau continues a line of coaches that have been fired recently despite either having good track records in their career or with their team having a good record. Since the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, Thibodeau joins Mike Brown, Taylor Jenkins, Mike Malone, and Mike Budenholzer as the coaches that were shown the door. While Thibodeau had his flaws when it came to distributing minutes amongst his rotation and adapting to adjustments made by opposing teams in real-time, he still took the Knicks farther than they had been in a quarter-century. Johnson, who is paying attention to the NBA outside of his involvement with the Nets, understands that Thibodeau may have needed to go, but also sees that the Knicks may be close enough that a coaching change could be all that is needed for New York to get to the Finals eventually.

PHOTOS: DNR captures moose wandering through Heber neighborhood
HEBER, Utah (ABC4) — Dept. of Natural Resources personnel captured a moose that was wandering through a local neighborhood Friday morning, according to the Heber City Police Dept. At around 6:45 a.m., the 'moose on the loose' was reportedly wandering in the area of 500 North and 100 West. It was of juvenile age, police said. 'The young moose explored the area for about an hour and fifteen minutes, likely a little lost and curious,' Heber police stated on social media. 'Officers worked closely with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DNR) to monitor the animal and ensure public safety.' DNR was able to safely capture and relocate the moose to a better habitat. Courtesy of Heber City Police Dept. Utah's growing population has increased the number of wildlife encounters across the state in recent years, according to the Division of Wildlife Resources. While these encounters happen most often during the summer when people are hiking or camping in the mountains or canyons, they can also be common in cities and other urban areas. 'Getting too close to a wild animal can cause the animal to feel threatened,' DWR Big Game Coordinator Dax Mangus said. 'If it feels threatened, it will sometimes act aggressively to protect itself, which can be unsafe for you or your pets. However, these encounters can also be harmful for the animal. Because it's harder for some wildlife to find food in the winter, they need to conserve their energy in order to survive. While a one-off encounter may not be fatal, repeatedly disturbing or chasing species such as moose and deer cause them to use up some of the essential fat reserves and energy they need to survive the winter.' Additionally, a vital way to prevent a wildlife incident from occurring is to make sure to never feed them, according to the DWR. Here are the reasons it is highly discouraged: Public safety concerns (including drawing those animals to residential neighborhoods and roadways) The spread of chronic wasting disease among deer, elk, and moose Potential harm to the wildlife from introducing foods not in their diets, particularly during winter months Moose, in particular, are commonly found in the foothills — their natural habitat. If a moose wanders into into populated areas, you should report it, the DWR said. If moose aren't relocated, they can stay in an area for a long time and potentially injure someone or damage property. 'Urban environments, which include fences and vehicles, can be unsafe for moose. Avoid approaching moose or attempting to 'herd' them out of yards or roads,' the DWR said. 'Moose can be very aggressive, especially around dogs.
