The upcoming romantic comedy Materialists has been creating a buzz not only for its star-studded cast but also for some unexpected drama behind the scenes. Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans — three of Hollywood’s most beloved actors — reportedly experienced some tense moments while filming the movie.
Directed by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Celine Song, Materialists follows the story of a New York matchmaker torn between an ideal new partner and her complicated ex. The film’s intriguing plot and the trio’s undeniable chemistry have already captivated fans, but insiders say the actors’ close bond may have also sparked some on-set challenges.
According to sources close to the production, the three stars were so deeply engaged with each other that it became difficult to keep them focused during shooting. “They were constantly interacting and sharing ideas,” a crew member revealed. “While that kind of energy is great for chemistry on screen, it sometimes made it tricky to stay on schedule.”
Director Celine Song commented on their connection in an interview, saying, “Their passion for the project and their genuine friendship translated into amazing performances. They were so invested in each other’s characters that it occasionally led to some playful distractions.”
Despite the occasional off-script moments, the cast and crew maintained a professional atmosphere, determined to deliver a film that balances humor, romance, and heartfelt storytelling. The movie is scheduled for release on June 13 and is expected to be a hit among romantic comedy fans.
With Dakota Johnson’s emotional depth, Chris Evans’ charm, and Pedro Pascal’s versatility, Materialists promises a fresh and captivating take on modern love — with a little behind-the-scenes excitement to boot.
