Brie Larson found herself seething in response to a journalist's question at Marvel Studios' D23 event.
During the heyday of the Marvel universe on the big screen, one of the pivotal moments was the release of "Captain Marvel" in 2019, with Brie Larson portraying Carol Danvers. The introduction of this character, who marked a turning point for heroines in their own standalone films, received mixed reactions from fans.
Countless sociological and editorial analyses could delve into whether it was the result of s-xism, the integration of a new character into an established group of heroes, or the character's perceived lack of significance within the Marvel universe. Nevertheless, the film came and went without making a substantial impact in theaters. However, Carol Danvers' appearance in "Avengers: Endgame" was received much more favorably and even earned applause from many.
On social media, where the darker side of society often lurks, the actress faced years of relentless criticism and harassment. She maintained her composure in the face of these attacks, choosing not to engage and opting for time to set things right. Yet, Brie Larson is a human being, and after a question from a journalist, her patience reached its limit.
Brie Larson's Fury in Response to a Question About Captain Marvel
At the D23 event showcasing Marvel Studios' upcoming releases, trailers for "Secret Invasion" and "The Marvels," the sequel to Captain Marvel's first film, were unveiled. "The Marvels" confirmed its cast, including Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris reprising her role as Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel.
While the company underscored the significance of Larson's character in the forthcoming phases of the Marvel universe, a journalist from Variety contributed to the ongoing commentary about the Captain. They posed a question that incited her anger: "How long will Brie Larson play Captain Marvel?" The actress retorted, "I don't know. Do you want someone else to do it again?"
Recognizing the tension created by her response, the journalist attempted to defuse the situation with a laugh, saying, "don't be mean." However, Brie Larson remained firm, stating, "No, I'm serious." Undoubtedly, the years of battling those who do not support her have taken a toll on Larson. Nonetheless, her contract dictates her continued presence in the Marvel universe, making it clear that, in this case, the doubters are mistaken for now.
