Brie Larson Recognizes ‘Captain Marvel’ Hatred, Catches Flak Again

Brie Larson can’t take a break from the world of Marvel – something she acknowledged over the weekend with a sarcastic response… for which the internet is criticizing her once again.

The actress was present on Saturday at the D23 exhibition – where Disney showed off a ton of new stuff. One of those projects, “The Marvels,” involves Brie and her Captain Marvel persona… but this time it will include other women with similar Marvel powers.

While doing press outside of the main stage, she was asked a pretty simple question: how long do you plan to keep playing Capt. Marvel?

His answer is revealing. She says she frankly doesn’t know, openly wondering if people actually want her to take on the role more than she already has. It was a little tense, and the interviewer tried to lighten the mood…to no avail.

Now the backlash… Brie is catching criticism from quite a few people responding to this video in the comments — their main gripe being, why is she doing such a big passive-aggressive stink on such a layup of a question. .. especially with this saga that is years old.

We’ll spare you the details of all that, but basically… when Brie was cast as Captain Marvel in 2018 and with her release in 2019, there was a lot of seemingly random hate directed towards her – for a variety of reasons not even we understand. . Her detractors say she is downright unsympathetic – her supporters say she is the victim of blatant misogyny by a rabid fan base.

The apparent dislike for her wasn’t limited to Twitter either – there were reports of her movie and others she was affiliated with at the time getting slammed by people who just wanted to upset her… again once, for wrong reasons- defined and out of nowhere.

Some have said that his support for more diverse castings/criticism pools – via inclusion riders, etc. – could be a catalyst … but either way, Brie is obviously aware of the target on her back. FWIW, Brie also attracts a lot of people rushing to her defense…but it’s a mixed bag.

Sure, she’s going to be doing this new movie – coming out next year – where she’ll be reprising her character… but with all the heartache she’s feeling, we wouldn’t be surprised if she hangs up and moves from House of Justice. mouse.
