Dakota Johnson talked about her adventures while filming Madame Web in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Playing the character Cassandra Webb, Johnson navigated the experience of acting against a blue screen backdrop and surrounded by simulated chaos and explosions. This was a first in her career. Johnson humorously described her challenge of reacting to a non-existent explosion.

I was like, 'I have no idea if this is going to work!' I hope it worked! ”

Johnson also develops an appreciation for intense action sequences such as explosions and vehicular mayhem. She fondly recalls a particularly exhilarating day on set when a stunt involving a taxi ramming into a diner was performed. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity to perform any stunts herself. “We couldn't actually bring the car into the diner, which was a real shame. We really wanted to do that, but they didn't want to put the lead actor at any real risk, unless it was Tom Cruise. “Sho,” she added.
