In February 2022, it was revealed that The Fifty Shades of Grey actress is set to star in the studio’s Madame Web movie.

Madame Web is portrayed as an old woman who was dependent on a life support system that resembled a spider web because she had myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness.

Dakota appears in pictures published by the Daily Mail, as she begins filming for the project.

The 32-year-old was photographed in Boston while sporting a dramatic red leather jacket, a black button-up cropped t-shirt, and a pair of navy blue mom-style jeans.

She wears some Dr Marten looking lace-up boots with the ensemble and a basic belt to tie the look together.
