Although she is yet to shoot anything, Brie Larson has been nothing but praising of her working relationship with Marvel Studios. In a new interview she told The Hollywood Reporter, “although they are this big company, at the same time their stories are really character driven and they care a lot about the journey of these characters and they understand that these films are a metaphor for the things that are very real in our lives. There’s been a lot of talk about it, they’re really open to the things I have to say about it, and it’s super collaborative.

In an interesting interview with Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, he has said that he doesn’t consider the upcoming superhero movie a sequel to Thor and Thor: The Dark World, but the start of a new series. “I don’t mind if people start with this film.

Because then I’ll get tied up too much in respecting what went before, and respecting what’s going to come after. It just, for me, has to be a standalone thing. Because this could be the only time I do this. And I just want to make it a version of a Marvel film in the best way possible.” Read more here.
