In 2015, Johnson was cast in her first leading role as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation. When asked about her stance on gender rights regarding the role, Johnson said, "I'm proud of [the movie]. I completely disagree with people who think Ana's weak. I think she's actually stronger than he is. Everything she does is her choice. And if I can be an advocate for women to do what they want to do with their bodies and not be ashamed of what they want, then I'm all for that."
