Dakota Johnson’s portrayal of Cassandra “Cassie” Webb in the recently released Marvel movie ‘Madame Web’ showcased a unique fighting style that emphasized the character’s mind over her physicality. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Johnson discussed how she wanted the character to be primal and scrappy in her fighting style, using whatever was around to defend herself. This approach to the character’s fighting style was a departure from the typical superhero physicality and added a wild and natural feel to the character’s actions.

Johnson also spoke about the importance of portraying a young woman whose superpower is her mind, stating that it felt really important to her and was something she wanted to work with. Cassandra’s precognition powers, which she accidentally triggers, make her an unlikely superhero, and Johnson’s portrayal of the character showcased the strength of her powers in a unique way.

‘Madame Web’ is part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe and tells the origin story of Cassandra Webb as she confronts her past while trying to survive with three young women with powerful futures who are being hunted by a deadly adversary. Along with Johnson, the movie stars Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor as the three young women with powerful futures, with Tahar Rahim playing Ezekiel Sims. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the producer of the movie, has described it as the story of Madame Web and an origin story that will be a fresh new terrain for fans.
