But Johnson's resistance to seeing herself on screen has its origins elsewhere.
“For me, it's a way to not have an existential crisis,” Johnson said in his interview with Magic FM. “Not watching my movies is like taking care of myself.”
At premieres, he said, he will grace the red carpet and then go to dinner.
As for “Madame Web,” “I don't know when I'll see her,” Johnson said, pausing. “Some day.”
“Madame Web,” based on a Marvel Comics heroine of the same name, stars Johnson as a New York-based paramedic named Cassie Webb. Cassie develops psychic abilities after a near-death experience, then discovers that she must use her newfound powers to protect three girls (Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor) from being pursued by a villain named Ezekiel Sims (Tahar). Rahim).
Just as Cassie is a kind of guardian angel, Johnson herself has become a “big sister” to Sweeney, Merced and O'Connor, her co-stars said.

Still, Sweeney told E! She was a little surprised when she met Johnson for the movie.

Johnson insisted to E! that, despite having a few more years in the business than Sweeney and the others, he didn't need to give them any advice.
“She's an incredible actress,” Dakota said of Sweeney, “and she really has an incredible work ethic.”
