Brie Larson is on fire leading up to the release of Captain Marvel, talking about her hopes for an all-female Avengers movie and her BFF Samuel L. Jackson
As Brie Larson continues her press tour for the movie, she’s been very forthright about her thoughts about the film and Marvel Universe — that includes how she feels about having a highly requested all-female Avengers movie, and revealing what it’s like to work with her on-set BFF, Samuel L. Jackson.
In February, she had previously expressed the desire to team up with Ms. Marvel in a future film, so that’s one piece of the puzzle. But now, Larson’s revealed her feelings on being in an all-female Avengers movie in an interview with ScreenRant, and we officially have our hopes set high.
Larson said to ScreenRant:
"I’m scared and I don’t know what the future holds either. I’m not let into those top-secret meetings, so we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. I love all the female characters so much. So of course like that’s what I’m interested in. I’m super into an all-female Avengers movie. Yeah, I think that would just be, it would just be cool to see all of them interact together."
ScreenRant also noted that Larson along with Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and other Marvel leads have approached Marvel Studios about this idea. We definitely think that this is the all-female Avengers movie is what we all deserve.
We can only imagine the antics and joy of seeing a film with Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Ms. Marvel, and the others. Personally, I’d love to see Squirrel Girl get some live-action time as well. Maybe we can get an all-female Avengers team facing off against Hela (Cate Blanchett), the first female villain in the MCU. That would be truly epic.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Larson was in fine form talking about making Captain Marvel with her on-set best friend Samuel L. Jackson. Kimmel asked how she felt since this movie was three years in the making.
Larson quipped honestly, “I’m just relieved I haven’t spoiled anything yet, honestly.” (We’re looking at you, Mark Ruffalo).
She said that she wasn’t allowed to tell anyone that she was going to be Captain Marvel for an entire year, which is some epic secret keeping. She was super stressed about all the secret keeping, but Samuel L. Jackson told her that she can’t get fired now.
Larson also revealed that she was basically BFFs with Samuel L. Jackson from their time in three movies. She told Kimmel that between all the movies, “He is without a doubt the person I have traveled the most of any person in my life.”
When asked whether she is actually friends with Jackson, she said, “Our love is real.” They text and they even share codewords, secrets and people they mutually hate. Definitely, Larson and Jackson are BFFs.
We also learned about some of the challenges of filming Captain Marvel, such as when Brie Larson had to learn how to “pretend” fly a plane with Air Force pilots. She was super concerned about vomiting on the real flights; she was told there was a 50/50 chance she’d vomit, and their advice to her was “just don’t have a margarita the night before, and you’ll be fine.”
Larson admits that piece of advice made it worse, jokingly revealing: “That’s very hard to tell me not to do something, then I really really want to do it. All I wanted was a margarita.”
We can’t wait to see Larson full of spunk in Captain Marvel, which is out this weekend. We especially hope that the all-female Avengers movie will get greenlighted ASAP.
