The Marvel Cinematic Universe can be a lot to make sense of — even for people who are in it.

As you may know, Dakota Johnson is the latest star to make her superhero debut as the lead in Madame Web, which was released in theaters this week.

She stars as Cassandra Webb — aka Madame Web — who discovers that she has clairvoyant powers and must grapple with how to use them.

If you’re catching onto some spider themes and wondering if this has anything to do with Sony’s Spider-Man, then the answer is yes — kind of.

While Spidey himself doesn’t appear in Madame Web, the new film is set in the same cinematic universe as Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies. So make of that what you will.

However, despite being a part of the Spidey world, it sounds as if Dakota may have forgotten to brush up on her Marvel knowledge.

During a recent interview with Josh Horowitz for MTV, Dakota was asked if she could name all three of Tom’s Spider-Man movies — which, if you didn’t know, are Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Immediately, the question prompted a look of fear in Dakota’s eyes, although she still attempted to give it her best shot.

Spider-Man: Here He Comes, that’s number one,” she began, offering up “Spider-Man: And He’s Back” as the second title.

And as for the third installment, Dakota got creative — and perhaps also confused it a little bit with another well-known movie franchise.

“The last one is, um…The Goblet of Spider-Man,” she said before backtracking and changing her answer to “Harry, Spider-Man, and the Goblet of Man.”

As you may have already guessed, Dakota confessed that she’s not hugely invested in the MCU, admitting she’s only seen “4%” of all the Marvel movies.

“Which is like 15 minutes of one,” she joked.

And if it wasn’t already evident from her third answer, Dakota revealed that she’s more interested in the world of wizarding than superheroes.

“I love Harry Potter…I agreed to go to boarding school for one year because I thought it was gonna be like Hogwarts,” she confessed before joking that she had a serious shock when she arrived.

“Rude awakening — there’s no nuns at Hogwarts,” she said.
