Isabela Merced Talks About the Failure of MADAME WEB Saying, "It Does Leave a Sad Taste in My Mouth"

Madame Web was another disaster of a film from Sony Studios, who we all know should leave the superhero movie-making to Marvel. The studio keeps making bad movies, which come and go, but unfortunately, there’s a whole cast and crew behind the mess that don’t deserve to be attached to the bombed final product.

Actress Isabela Merced talked about her bittersweet experience making Madame Web in a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast with Josh Horowitz, where she explained:

"I'd say...I feel like every actor I know and admire has that one movie where it's so camp. It's so camp [Laughs]. The group chat was fun after. All the Tweets that would come out and the memes we would see made the group chat very fun.

“But at the same time, it does [leave] a sad taste in my mouth because there were people that worked on it who worked really hard. Maybe this was their opportunity to have a big break and I can't help but think about the people who put in the work. I'm lucky enough to have other opportunities right now.

“That's what I feel really blessed about but I do feel bad for the other people who put their all into this. There [were] so many cooks in the kitchen. Even though you might mean well, someone else might not understand the assignment."

She wrapped up talking about the experience positively, saying: "I do have a soft spot in my heart [for it]. Honestly, I love The Room. I love Flubber. I love Catwoman. Those are my favorites. I'm a little proud of it in that sense. I'm really glad we had each other."

At least she made friends and learned a little more than before. Merced went on to land roles in Alien: Romulus, The Last of Us season 2, and the highly anticipated Superman, so this will have very little impact on what looks like will be a very promising career.
