Brie Larson Reveals Why She Was ‘Scared’ to Join the MCU

Jul 20, 2023


Brie Larson, who played the role of Carol Danvers in the 2019 movie Captain Marvel, recently opened up about her fears when preparing to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actor shared her concerns about how stardom would impact her ability to live a regular life. Larson was worried that the demands of being a famous artist would take away from her ability to do things like visit museums or go to concerts. She questioned the world in which she had to make choices that affected her ability to do the things she loved.

“I was scared of what would happen to me,” Larson said. “I was like, ‘What world is this, where these are the choices I have to make as an artist?’

Larson led the first female superhero franchise in the MCU. Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, was a box office success, grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide. Larson’s portrayal of Carol Danvers, a former US Air Force pilot who becomes a powerful superhero after being exposed to alien technology, was well-received by most audiences and critics alike. The movie was praised for its feminist themes and representation of women in powerful roles.

Marvel Studios

The Marvels promises to be an exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film will feature three powerful female heroes and explore themes of identity and self-discovery. Brie Larson is set to join forces with rising star Iman Vellani, who has gained critical acclaim for her role as Ms. Marvel in the Disney+ miniseries, and Teyonah Parris(Monica Rambeau). Despite Ms. Marvel not garnering record-breaking viewership, it has managed to make a significant impact by earning widespread critical acclaim, including an impressive 98% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Larson has been vocal about her excitement for Vellani’s future in the industry.

“Iman is the future.She is the perfect Ms. Marvel and the most incredible person and cast-mate. I’m so excited for her success and I’m so excited to see what she will do with her life because she can do anything she wants. She’s one of my favorite people on this earth.”

As Marvel fans eagerly await the release of The Marvels, they were recently disappointed to learn that the film’s release date has been pushed back. The movie’s initial release date was set for November 10, 2023. One of the reasons for the delay in The Marvels’ release is linked to the delayed Disney+ series Secret Invasion. The series, which features Nick Fury, is expected to be intricately linked to the movie. The ongoing changes in Marvel Studios’ output and the need for longer post-production times have also been cited as the reasons for the delay.
