Russell Crowe has reacted to Dakota Johnson's criticism of her Spider-Man spinoff, Madame Web, which was a box office flop following its release earlier this year.
'Not quite sure how I can make this better for you. It’s a gigantic machine and they make movies at a certain size,' he noted. 'It can be challenging, working in a blue-screen world, when you have to convince yourself of a lot more than just the internal machinations of your character. But for anything to be... and you can’t make this a direct comment on her because I don’t know her and I don’t know what she went through, and the fact that you can have a s**t experience on a film… Yeah, you can. But is that the Marvel process? I’m not sure you can say that,' Crowe added.
'It is OK to joke about your movie not doing well and even lean into the bad reviews like Sydney Sweeney did on SNL with her monologue - but producers and Sony aren't laughing over Dakota's continued dragging of how she sees the fallout of Madame Web and how she isn't taking any responsibility for its lackluster results,' they said.
They continued: 'Dakota is being looked down on over her talk of the film because everyone in the production is thinking, what if the movie was still the same but also a box office gem?During a recent interview with Bustle, Dakota - who is reportedly engaged to boyfriend Chris Martin - hinted that she predicted the public backlash.'But it was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I had never done anything like it before.
'But it was a real learning experience, and of course it’s not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don’t understand.
'In typical Hollywood fashion, if Dakota's next film is a major hit, then everyone will be kissing her a** again,' they said. 'Right now, not so much.' Indeed, critics called the film 'as dumb and schlocky as the worst of the genre' and 'a laughable affair' - with the movie debuting with a 12 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
