“You don’t have to know anything at all to watch this movie” is actually genius promotion. Most people stopped following the different universes a while back

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

I never got into them. I don't want to waste time and money on superhero silliness. But for Dakota I would go see it. Just like Fifty Shades of Grey. My take? "It was a dumb movie but Dakota Johnson (and Kim Basinger!) was in it".

[@folarinosibodu]

Not since 2008 has this happened.

[@LeshAran]

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Right?!? I had no idea there was drama on that set. I want to hear more!

[@samfilmkid]

I wonder where it came from?

[@StevenGolden]

@@samfilmkid If I had to take a guess: Ed Helms repeatedly leaving the show to be in the Hangover movies, along with Rainn Wilson not getting that Schrute Farm spin-off may have contributed to things being tense. It also could have just been everyone was in a sad mood because the show was ending, and they were all going to lose a steady job. So I'd imagine it would kind of rub them the wrong way if some bubbly twentysomething started filming with them while they were going through it.

[@neooni]

​@@StevenGolden yeah, like why they should care for a nepo baby at the last days of the series?

[@williamdacic]

She's awesome and that hair is super gorgeous!

[@ferntella]

To clarify, Madame Web IS in the general spider-verse (in the comics she is an old lady when Peter Parker meets her), I believe what Dakota means here is that the script was not written with the intention of having the story fit in with anything currently going on in the spider-verse films. It's happening in a bubble.

[@vaguerant]

Yeah, for people who are interested in this sort of stuff, it's in the same universe as the other "Sony in Association with Marvel" movies which they call the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSU). Right now, that means the same universe as Venom, Venom 2 and Morbius. This movie is mostly set in 2003 though, before the events of the other SSU movies. That said, it's not a prequel either, it just exists in the universe. The SSU doesn't have the greatest reputation already and Sony's marketing seems to be leaning away from that angle for this movie--cynics might say they're concerned either that the SSU will harm the movie's brand or the other way around. It's very possible the cast out on the promotional circuit (like Johnson here) have been asked to de-emphasize the cinematic universe concept and just pitch it as a standalone movie, because as @ferntella says, the plot of this movie is not connected to any of the previous ones.

[@roxanneh298]

Ben was literally her best friend. And baby Peter Parker was being born… Lol it’s is in the same universe.

[@ferntella]

@@roxanneh298 yeah they were really wild for making her say that it wasn't, in all her interviews.

[@arinestlebaum8564]

I have never admired Seth's interviewing prowess as much as I do right now. His ability to key into the humor and energy of each and every guest--even when it's kind of offbeat and dry, like Dakota's--is really unmatched by any other late night host currently on air. You can watch Dakota getting more and more comfortable as the interview progresses. I feel like every one of Seth's riffs with Dakota would have been an awkward pause from any other host.

Madame Web first appeared in the Amazing Spider-Man comics. So it’s very much not a stand alone universe. This movie might not have integrated the stories yet. But she’s a Spider-Man character.

[@ianhirst1148]

The multiverse means you have your own universe but you could still crossover. Venom is set in its own universe but still crossed over as a cameo.

I mean Ben Parker and Mary Parker are known to be in the movie. Hmm Parker, where do I know that surname from?

Legally for this movie it CANNOT be connected.

[@Kanoog]

@@tedsmart5539 So Don't make it. DUH? Using caps like you matter.

[@Yanni75]

Both movies are made by Sony, aren't they? So why wouldn't it be connected at some point? I think they're just waiting to see if the movie is going to be a success. If it's not, they have plausible deniability. And no doubt, they also say it's a standalone to not spoil any future storylines.

[@vs5133]

@@Yanni75 Right now Hollywood thinks audiences are turned off by complex interconnected universes so they are promoting Madame Web as its own thing. But yeah, obviously she can be brought into a Spider-Verse/Multiverse film down the line.

kinda sucks to hear that her experience in The Office was so negative. I listen to the Office Ladies Pod and every guests they've had on the show says everyone was so welcoming and friendly. And they had a good experience. And all the actos speak well about each other too.

[@katashley1031]

Obviously the final episode would be a very different story.

[@mgg5418]

That’s her take on it. She might have misread the energy. You just show up for a guest role on the very last episode of a show that lasted 11 years… it’s very likely people will have something else on their mind than being extra welcoming and friendly to the « new » people. They’d be forgiven for feeling a little off. That’s how I’d understand it. Maybe she was too immature at the time to get that.

[@xInfisphere]

This movie was so unique and powerful. It’s disappointing so many people jumped on a wagon of hatred, despite not having even watched it for themselves. This has been a clear example of group mentality. Because it is its own universe, I hope they make a second one still.

[@dusseau13]

She would make a perfect Morticia as was Carlyn Jones

Dakota is such an amazing actress. Her comedic timing is so so good. She's a millennial having to act across from Gen Zers being asked to perform on the level of RDJ Iron Man and Chris Evans Captain America's level. Movies that had all elder adult actors. And the multiple times she shares her frustration with this every interviewer pokes fun at her inability to keep up with the times resorting to calling her a boomer. No wonder she's not enthusiastic to promote this movie. She's being insulted. Im so glad Seth didnt resort to calling her a Boomer. But still promoting this by creating a divide between her and her costars makes this difficult to take the interview about the movie seriously. The discussion about the office was great.
