When it comes to the superhero genre, there are few bigger names than Brie Larson. The Oscar winner is a powerhouse in her own right, having starred in films like Room and Kong: Skull Island, but when she took on the role of Carol Danvers, AKA Captain Marvel, it became the biggest movie she has ever been involved in.
When the film hit theaters in 2019, it made history as the first female-led superhero film to earn more than $1 billion worldwide, and many critics praised the lead performance from Larson. But some fans were dissatisfied with her portrayal, and a petition was started that wanted the role to be recast with someone else. Thankfully, that didn’t happen and Larson is set to return for the upcoming sequel, The Marvels.
The movie will see her take on the superhero reversal story, where her powers are entrusted to the two women that inspired her to become a hero in the first place. Teyonah Parris will play Monica Rambeau, while Iman Vellani will play Kamala Khan (AKA Ms. Marvel). The new trailer has released and it seems that Larson is proving she’s still one of the most powerful actors in the MCU.
Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Brie Larson is an amazing actress and was a perfect choice for the role of Captain Marvel. She’s a charismatic and talented performer who continues to prove that she has what it takes to stand up to the best of them.
