CAPTAIN MARVEL Star Brie Larson Reveals How She's Kept AVENGERS: ENDGAME's Secrets Safe

After starring in Captain Marvel, Brie Larson will be taking on a key role in Avengers: Endgame but how is the actress avoiding spilling the beans on her role there? Well, it's quite simple: forget about it!

Confirming that she shot her scenes for the superhero ensemble before returning to delve into the character's origin story in a solo outing, the actress explains how she dealt with a "very strange" situation while driving home after shooting the Avengers: Infinity War sequel in Atlanta. 

"I just never wanted to feel like I was going to slip up or that I was going to say the wrong thing. I was like, 'I can't live with myself being the one that spoils something.' So I really just deleted it. I tried my best to journal it if I want to recall it and go, ‘Oh yeah, that was a crazy time.’ And I'm excited when the movie comes out to finally be able to talk about it and go, ‘Yes, this was crazy.’ But my family doesn't know. I haven't talked to anybody about anything because I'm just a very diligent secret-keeper."
 
So, we probably shouldn't expect any spoilery intel from Larson when she starts promoting Captain Marvel but she did at least reflect on the surreal experience of being on set with her fellow heroes.

"I just got to be like junior superhero and ask them questions like, ‘Hi, I’m the new kid! So what kind of protein bars do you eat and when do you train? Is your costume comfortable?'" Larson says. "I was just able to learn so much, and everybody was really kind and helpful. So I got to learn the ropes a little bit before I was thrown into this thing where I'd be by myself."

Are you excited to see Captain Marvel take on a leading role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Interesting situation there filming endgame before her solo

@Vigor - Yeah, I’ll be curious to see if it shows at all in the performance. Of course, it seems like she’ll be playing a character that has lived another 15 years or so between films, so it might be hard to pinpoint any difference that wasn’t intentional.

@Vigor - It wasn't "before". The article says she "returned" to her own movie after doing Endgame. She had already started her own movie.

@JonC - According to Wikipedia, Endgame's principle photography was from Aug. '17 through Jan. '18. Captain Marvel filmed some in January, but really started filming in March. (For the record, I don't think this level of precision matters all that much, so don't take this as me trying to push up my glasses and "correct" you.)

Ultimately, we don't really know how much of her appearances were filmed in what order (unless there's some hilarious wig snafu or something), so it's probably best to just consider both productions as roughly simultaneous.

That said, I wonder if this will impact the people who are already priming their talking points that "the Russos fixed Carol" when a lion's share of her Avengers filming may well have predated her solo. (I'm guessing it won't phase them.)

On that topic, though, as much as I love the Russos and Markus and McFeely's work on this franchise, I wonder how much of the "finally getting Thor right" is actually happening within the studio itself (read: Feige and his lieutenants) and even with the input of Hemsworth as he's grown into the role. The Russos are great, but maybe they're only this great because they've come into an organization of people with a culture that has a strong handle on what works and what doesn't.

@JonC - I read that sentence over a few times before posting. I concluded by "returning", she meant "to the studio" [to begin filming the next movie on her schedule, which was capt marvel]

This is implied by what follows after, "... to delve into the character's origin story in a solo outing"

They wouldn't say that if she had already begun filming her solo outing before filming endgame

I'm a bit worried about how Infinity War and Endgame have and will continue to affect on the solo films moving forward.

Marvel Studios is clearly trying to give their directors more and more freedom on their films, but these Avengers films give certain characters arcs or put them institution that more or less have to be addressed in their own films or affect the character in certain ways.

Best example of this is how both Age of Ultron and Civil War (technically an Avengers film) changed Ultron to the person who dismembered Klaue instead of a young T'Challa, and Zemo to the man who killed T'Chaka instead of Klaue. Coogler clearly had no say in both situations and perhaps just had to agree and accept those changes.

Part of me wonders if Endgame will end with some kind of reset which allows the solo movies to tell their own stories without needed to address it, or such problems may be kept out of the solo movies and discussed in future Avengers/MCU crossover films.

Either way, Endgame seems to be determining a lot, and though I'm still looking forward to more of these movies, I can't help but be a bit worried this closing chapter may leave some problems.
