What happens when you're caught between a charming ex and a wealthy new suitor—who does your heart choose? Dakota Johnson steps into this intricately woven web in Materialists, a captivating new film that also stars the irresistible Chris Evans and the magnetic Pedro Pascal. Johnson plays Lucy, a fiercely intelligent and unapologetically blunt matchmaker, who evaluates love not through rose-tinted glasses, but with a razor-sharp eye for worth and value.
While on a promotional spree, Dakota recently appeared on The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon, where she offered intriguing insights into her bond with co-star Pedro Pascal. Johnson shared, “Pedro and I were homies, yeah, we actually do hang out all the time, when we're in the same place." Fallon then presented a photograph of the pair at a Stevie Nicks concert in London. "He's wearing my - that's my sweater," Johnson pointed out.
"He does that a lot. He takes my clothes. Yeah, he's always underdressed - well, I mean like he's wearing a t-shirt, and it's cold outside. Not like he forgot his pants."
Even Director Celine Song, in an interview, spoke about the close bond Dakota, Chris, and Pedro shared during the film’s shoot. She mentioned, “They’re just so into each other.”. To evolve the interplay between the three of them, Materialists involved much rehearsal work. “We were trying to be specific about the chemistry between them as characters too,” she adds. “Because it has a different meaning and a different goal for each scene.The heart and the head, and then the math and the non-math,” as Song puts it. “Those crash into each other in this film.”
With a stellar cast and a fresh take on modern love, Materialists promises to be one of the year’s most exciting romantic comedies. Sony Pictures Entertainment will release Materialists in cinemas across India on June 13.
