Dakota Johnson's Dilemma in 'Materialists' - A Love Triangle Like No Other!
In her latest film, *Materialists*, Dakota Johnson faces an impossible choice: should she marry the flawless Pedro Pascal or her imperfect ex, Chris Evans? This romantic dramedy, directed by Celine Song and produced by A24, promises to deliver a modern twist on classic love stories set in the bustling backdrop of New York City.
A Compelling Love Triangle With a Nostalgic Touch
The film's intriguing logline paints the picture of an ambitious New York matchmaker (played by Johnson) torn between the ideal match (Pascal) and her past love (Evans). While some may draw parallels to Jane Austen’s *Emma*, *Materialists* embraces a distinctly 2000s vibe reminiscent of popular romantic comedies from that era—many of which featured Evans himself. After all, who can forget his underrated performance in *What’s Your Number?*?
Star-Studded Cast and a Memorable Soundtrack
Alongside Johnson, Pascal, and Evans, the film features Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, and Louisa Jacobson. Moviegoers can also look forward to an original song by the indie band Japanese Breakfast, adding another layer of charm to this anticipated release.
Behind the Scenes: A Joyful Experience for the Cast
During an appearance on the *Happy Sad Confused* podcast, Johnson expressed her deep appreciation for the camaraderie with co-stars Evans and Pascal. "Every moment felt so inspiring and connected with both of those guys and the entire crew," she shared, praising Song as a "masterful filmmaker." It’s clear this film has created lasting bonds off-screen.
What's Next for the Talented Trio?
In addition to *Materialists*, Johnson, Evans, and Pascal are busy with exciting new projects. Johnson stars in the open marriage comedy *Splitsville* and is eager to showcase her comedic chops alongside breakout star Adria Arjona. Meanwhile, Evans is set to play a BDSM cult leader in Ethan Coen's thrilling film *Honey Don’t!* But fans are especially excited to see Pascal debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mr. Fantastic in *Fantastic Four: First Steps*. Interestingly, Evans previously portrayed the Human Torch in the earlier *Fantastic Four* films.
