Watch: Dakota Johnson's LOL Reaction To Chris Evans' Deep Love Advice
Last Updated:
Materialists, directed by Celine Song, stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
Materialists, the romantic drama starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, is finally here. The film, directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song, hit theatres this Friday, June 13. Set in the heart of New York City, the movie dives into a messy love triangle filled with emotions. And while the movie explores love on screen, the cast is having just as much fun off screen too.
In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, the duo sat down for a fun and candid Q&A where Chris revealed his personal red and green flags in love. While fans loved hearing his take, it was Dakota's reaction to his answers that truly stole the show.
Dakota asked Chris, 'What's your personal red flag and green flag when it comes to love?"
Chris replied with, 'Red flags – if you don't love animals. If you're not a dog person but you're a cat person, I'll allow it. But if you don't do animals at all, that's a red flag. There's no way that's going to work for me."
He followed it up with his green flag: 'Just a sense of kindness. I like kind people, you know."
To that, Dakota couldn't resist teasing, 'So, you hate me and Pedro?" Chris shot back with, 'You guys are so kind. You pretend to be real sassy and cold but you guys have hearts of gold."
Dakota then asked, 'What do you think the secret is to finding a love that lasts?"
Chris's answer was straight from the heart: 'You gotta know yourself first. I almost feel like until you are a more realised, complete version of yourself, you won't fully know what the right fit for you even is. So, work on yourself first."
That honest answer had Dakota laughing out loud. Chris then jokingly said, 'I tried."
Materialists follows the story of Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a smart and confident matchmaker who's great at helping others find love. She's so dedicated to her job that she'll even chase someone down the streets of New York if she thinks they're a perfect match for someone.
But when it comes to her own love life, things aren't so easy. Lucy finds herself stuck between two very different men. Her ex, John (Chris Evans), is charming and knows her well but he doesn't quite have his life together. Then there's Harry Castillo (Pedro Pascal), a rich and reliable man who seems like the perfect partner and offers a life of comfort.
While Lucy has helped many people find their perfect partners, she now has to figure out what love really means for her. She has to decide whether love is about passion and history or about security and a comfortable future.

Dakota Johnson calls Hollywood ‘a huge mess', slams remakes: ‘Decisions are made by people who don't watch movies'
Actor Dakota Johnson isn't holding back about her thoughts on the current state of Hollywood, calling it a "mess'. In a recent interview, she expressed her frustration with the industry's decision-making process, claiming that key choices are made by "people who don't watch movies or know anything about them'. Also read: Dakota Johnson reveals dating 'non-negotiable' after alleged split with Coldplay singer Chris Martin Dakota shared her views while appearing on Hot Ones during the press tour of her recent film, Materialists. She spoke up about it when the host Sean Evans asked why 'Hollywood is risk-averse", reports Variety. The actor also criticised the trend of remaking the same content, lamenting the lack of originality in many modern projects. 'I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by committee, and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what's occurring a lot,' Dakota responded in a blunt way. The actor feels that the whole fascination to make remakes is not working in favour of Hollywood. She added, 'When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake same things, but humans don't want that. They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?' Dakota has candidly discussed her experiences with the film Madame Web in interviews over the past year, describing it as a nightmare. The 2024 Sony comic book movie failed to impress both critics and audiences at the box office. She headlined the film as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who gains the ability to see the future after a near-death experience. The film earned a dismal $43 million at the domestic box office and 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. She said on Hot Ones that she 'tried' and 'failed' to be a superhero. Dakota is back on the big screen with Celine Song's Materialists, which also features Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. Starring Dakota as Lucy, a New York City matchmaker, the film delves into themes of love, ambition, and the complexities of modern relationships. Set against the backdrop of New York's elite social scene, Lucy finds herself torn between her charming ex, John (Chris Evans), and a wealthy financier, Harry (Pedro Pascal).

Materialists ending explained: Billionaire's perfection or halal cart with her broke ex boyfriend — what does Lucy choose?
A24's latest romance-drama, Materialists, hit theatres on June 13, 2025, and stirred up conversations online, thanks to its stellar cast featuring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. Directed by Celine Song, who made her directorial debut with Oscar-nominated Past Lives, the film stars Johnson as Lucy, a sharp and successful matchmaker navigating love and power in New York City. She's joined by Pedro Pascal as Harry, a charming billionaire, and Chris Evans as John, her broke but earnest ex-boyfriend. From its sleek cinematography to the painfully real conversations about love and money, Materialists has people asking—Harry or John, who does Lucy choose? What's The Materialists about? Lucy works at Adore Matchmaking, where finding love looks a lot more like running an investment firm. She's not matching horoscopes; she's matching income brackets, attractiveness scores, and political alignment. Early in the movie, she meets Harry, a tall, rich, practically engineered-to-perfection bachelor, at a client's wedding. The same night, she bumps into John, her ex-boyfriend and an aspiring actor, who now waits tables and lives with roommates. From there, Lucy gets pulled into a classic triangle. Harry is everything she's been told to want: successful, generous, and elite. John is the one that got away—the guy she left because she didn't want to celebrate their anniversary with halal cart food. But as the story unfolds, we see cracks in Lucy's logic and her career. Is love really just a numbers game? So, who does Lucy end up with? (Spoilers) In the end, Lucy chooses John, not because he's the safe or successful option, but because he's the one who truly knows her. After everything she's built in her matchmaking career, Lucy finds herself questioning the very formula she's been selling: that love can be calculated based on looks, money, and shared values. Her relationship with Harry may have looked perfect on paper—he's rich, charming, and even over six feet tall (thanks, as it turns out, to leg-lengthening surgery). But emotionally, there's nothing there. When it finally hits her that their dynamic feels more like a business deal than a relationship, she chooses to walk away from what many would have thought was her perfect fairy tale. John, on the other hand, isn't rich, polished, or predictable. But he's real. He's the guy who was there before she became 'marketable.' And even though their past had flaws (remember that halal cart breakup?), he's never stopped seeing her for who she actually is, not who she's trying to be. It's the kind of love you can't put a price on, and even though Lucy had only known it, it's after being with Harry that she actually realized it's the real deal. In the final scene, John grabs two meals from a halal cart and meets Lucy in the park, bringing their story full circle. As they sit together, he makes her a ring out of a flower and gently slips it on her finger. It's a sweet callback to the cave couple we saw at the start of the film, who symbolized the very first marriage. But instead of a grand proposal, John simply asks with a smile, 'How'd you like to make a very poor financial decision?' What happens to Harry in the end? After the breakup, Harry ends up becoming a client at Adore himself, still searching for his 'perfect match.' During their final conversation, Lucy notices scars on his legs and realizes he, too, underwent leg-lengthening surgery to hit that ideal six-foot mark and become the so-called 'unicorn' everyone wants. Will there be a Materialists sequel? Materialists will most likely not have a sequel, as the story wraps up neatly with Lucy choosing John in the end. While no follow-up has been announced, a potential sequel could explore Harry's continued search for love.
