Dakota Johnson takes on the role of Lucy in ‘Materialists’!

In director Celine Song’s much-anticipated film #Materialists, Dakota Johnson takes on the role of Lucy — a sharp, savvy matchmaker caught in a romantic tangle. The film follows her journey as she navigates a love triangle between her charming ex (#ChrisEvans) and a mysterious new suitor (#PedroPascal), all set against the backdrop of modern romance and ambition.

While promoting the film globally, Dakota opened up about what drew her to the character and the complexities that made Lucy such a compelling role.

“After I read the script, I was immediately enticed by the layered inscrutability I saw in Lucy. I was drawn to the role because it’s so complex. Lucy has so many different dynamics in the film, so there’s many different Lucys. She’s a bit of a different person with every other character — she’s sort of a chameleon in that way. And then you’re wondering which of her is the truth, which I thought was just so fun to play with.”

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 13th.
