Brie Larson recalls emotional reaction to putting on Captain Marvel suit
Brie Larson had an emotional experience the first time she donned the Captain Marvel suit, and the reason why is beyond touching.
With the premiere of the first trailer for Captain Marvel, fans are excited that they finally have footage to speculate over. Brie Larson herself is also excited as she finally gets to discuss some of her feelings about taking on the role.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress spoke discussed having an emotional moment when donning the Captain Marvel suit for the first time.
Since the movie, like most Marvel films, is fairly secretive, she wasn’t able to discuss her feelings on the project until now:
"What’s crazy is that these movies are so secretive, you don’t get to share that. Now I can share it! Now we can be like, ‘Oh, my God! I was trying different pieces on. Then when I finally put it all on together I was just staring at myself in the mirror, and I did get emotional… The first time I put it on I was like, ‘I’m like a Disneyland character! This is crazy!"

Larson also goes into detail about her workout regimen as she prepared for the role. She set aside nine months to train for becoming Carol Danvers, and we love hearing about her dedication.
Brie Larson has also taken to Twitter this week to express love for her fans. Fans on Twitter started a new hashtag, #SelfiesforBrie, where they posted pictures of themselves and expressed support for Larson. Many of these posts also had fans talking about how much Captain Marvel means to them and how this character inspires them.
Larson posted a Twitter thread in response expressing her gratitude for fans and how this hashtag helped her feel supported.
I want to talk about #selfiesforbrie -the hashtag I didn’t know I needed.

It’s not an intention of mine for any fan to do anything for me - I’m not a cult leader. I’m living my life and if you’re into it, cool. If not, that’s cool too.

However! Scrolling through and seeing your faces brought so much emotion. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me. Thank you for your kind words; I’m happy you feel supported by me too.

I loved seeing all your expressions. Moody or smiling or coy or fierce or whatever is YOU. What an incredible collection of folks owning themselves (I see you #validbisexual !!) where they are, how they are.

I also saw self depreciation or apologizing for being “ugly” or pointing out specific things they didn’t like about their face. What the heck!!! That type of ownership is yours to wade but just know: you are beautiful - never apologize for it.
