Brie Larson, the star of the upcoming Captain Marvel, has discussed what makes her movie different from past MCU films.
Fans have had to wait quite some time for Captain Marvel’s big reveal but thanks to EW, we now have our first look at the movie, including Brie Larson in costume as the MCU’s newest superhero.
While new films in Marvel’s shared universe’s carry an innate level of excitement, what makes Captain Marvel different from what has come before? Well, Brie Larson discussed this very subject with EW, telling them that it’s the mix of drama and comedy that propels the film forward:
“That is something that is really exciting to me about this film: We did not cut corners on that stuff. Like, when it’s funny, it is funny, but also when there’s deep emotional things happening, it’s real. So I was able to bring some of those same things that I’ve brought to full dramatic roles into this, which I’m really proud of because I think it will really set this film apart.”
Do you like what you’ve seen and heard so far from Captain Marvel? Of course, the film’s first trailer will really give us a taste of what to expect but until then, fans have plenty to savour.
