The box office is seemingly casting a dark shadow over the Marvel universe with the failure of its latest release ‘Madame Web‘. The film with stars like Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney has fallen short of expectations. The box office returns of the film are hovering around $80 million against a nearly $100 million budget, with no hopes for profit whatsoever.
The chief focus of the film is on its lead character played by Dakota Johnson, alongside Sydney Sweeney playing Julia Carpenter in the film. Known for her roles in ‘Anyone But You‘ and ‘Euphoria’, the actress is seemingly facing the harsh reality of the failure of her latest venture. Here’s what the actress has said.
