On a surprising occasion of introspection, actress Brie Larson, known for her role as Captain Marvel, skillfully dodged the provocation when a journalist tried to label criticism aimed at her and the character Carol Danvers in the MCU as sexist.
For quite some time, Larson has been a contentious figure within Marvel fan circles, consistently refusing to shy away from criticizing, disparaging, and reprimanding fans for supposed slights. Her previous remarks have left several individuals with the impression that she holds a grudge against male fan bases.
Regardless of the opinions about her character strength, Captain Marvel still grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, with some people attributing this success to its placement between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, as well as a post-credit scene in the former. However, when The Marvels was released on its own, it didn’t enjoy the same success, becoming Marvel Studios’ most expensive flop with earnings of only $206 million worldwide against a reported budget that exceeded $370 million due to additional filming costs.
The poor performance of “The Marvels” at the box office appears to signal potential difficulties for Brie Larson’s character, Carol Danvers, moving forward. Although she is slated to appear in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” a third standalone film might be highly unlikely. However, during an interview with The Telegraph, Larson avoided discussing her future with Marvel, instead focusing on the personal changes she experienced while playing Carol.
Larson mused, “I knew choosing Carol would increase my visibility in the public eye, but I felt the message of the movie outweighed my apprehension. Moreover, I believed I was confident enough to handle my own life effectively.
She went on to say, “That encounter was transformative. Typically, when I finish a role, I bid farewell and express gratitude. There’s no urge to keep these characters with me. However, with Captain Marvel, many of the traits I absorbed from her—her independence, her identity—I’m retaining. It was wonderful that she could serve as this transformative influence for others too.
Yet, when The Telegraph raised questions regarding why certain men allegedly felt threatened by her casting, Larson swiftly brought an end to the discussion.
“I don’t know,” she responded bluntly. “I… don’t pay attention.”
As the interviewer delved deeper, implying that she brushed off criticism as a means of dealing with alleged misogyny, it’s said that the tension in the room noticeably escalated.
I’d like you to realize,” Brie Larson said, appearing to grasp the situation, “that by carrying on this discussion, it seems unrelated to me.” (She seemed to understand that the interviewer might be attempting to provoke her into labeling the fans as sexist.)
Reframing the question to probe Hollywood’s openness towards female superheroes, I found myself wondering if Brie Larson shares this perspective. However, she remained steadfast in her response.
She indicated that she couldn’t respond to that question without potentially causing complications or further controversy regarding her public persona, as she declined to engage any further on the topic.
At that point, her publicist jumped in, shutting down the topic entirely.
It’s a surprising moment for Larson, who in the past hasn’t shied away from attacking fans.
She once responded to criticism by saying, “I don’t require a 40-year-old white man to explain what was wrong with A Wrinkle in Time to me.” She emphasized that she valued the film’s impact on “women of color, biracial women, and teen girls of color” instead.
Considering her past of provocative statements, it seems she might have now understood that stirring up controversies isn’t beneficial for her career or longevity within the MCU. Regrettably, Marvel Studios has not been helpful in this regard either.
Translating this into a more natural and easy-to-read style:
Initially placing Captain Marvel in the 1990s separated her from the current MCU, making her role in Endgame less significant than anticipated, despite initial hints suggesting she’d play a crucial part. Similarly, The Marvels film underperformed, indicating that fans lost interest in a Captain Marvel team-up when the Avengers weren’t involved.
It appears that the final chapter of “Avengers: Doomsday” is set for May 2026, followed by “Avengers: Secret Wars” in 2027. For now, it seems like Carol Danvers might remain involved, but Brie Larson’s time as Marvel’s cosmic heroine could potentially be drawing to a close.
