THE MARVELS Star Brie Larson Teases An Even More Powerful Captain Marvel In The Upcoming Sequel

Teasing her return as Carol Danvers in The Marvels, Brie Larson has explained how her training has had to change in order to better reflect Captain Marvel now having "more mastery over her powers."

Brie Larson has had a unique journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Oscar-winner actually played Carol Danvers in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame before shooting her origin story, 2019's Captain Marvel, and has only made a brief appearance since then in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' mid-credits scene.

Carol Danvers will take centre stage in The Marvels alongside Ms. Marvel and Spectrum, and Larson recently talked to Insider about the work she's been doing to get back into superhero shape.

"In the first film, she's developing that strength, and so I was developing my own personal strength with this one," Larson said. "She's already got more mastery over her powers. She can fly now. And so having my body more limber, more ready for these types of movements, like wirework, which I didn't have to do as much on the first one, was the main goal."

The actress added that she's also mastered doing one-arm pull-ups. "I just started to get kind of obsessed with it. When people say like, 'Oh, girls can't do that,' it just makes me wanna do it even more. So there were huge accomplishments this time and I just feel like my body's just getting more used to this and more and more excited. Now, it feels weird to not train. I look forward to it."

Captain Marvel was still in pre-production when Larson shot her role in the last two Avengers movies, and we learned in her solo outing that the hero was only just beginning to discover the extent of her abilities. It's now been decades since the events of that story, so we're fully expecting Carol to power-up and show why she's one of the MCU's most formidable characters in this sequel.

The Marvels is set to be released in theaters on February 17, 2023.

I don't care if her laser beams are bigger, I just want a deeper story and a more human Carol Danvers.

Not hatin', I like Brie's casting, I just hope it's better than the first movie (which was not bad, but falls into the worse part of Phase III).

And make Skrulls bad again!

Bucnastydathird - 2/11/2022, 7:02 AM

no-ass having bitch!!!....this shit better be a huge improvement than that last film

bobevanz - 2/11/2022, 7:07 AM

They made her so OP that they had to keep her away from Thanos until the end of endgame, how much stronger does she need to be lol

bobevanz - 2/11/2022, 7:08 AM

@bobevanz - I reply to the clickbait titles, don't blame me lol

BigPhilbowski - 2/11/2022, 7:15 AM

@bobevanz - no, we do. Commenting on articles you haven't even read is the height of stupidity

bkmeijer2 - 2/11/2022, 7:30 AM

@bobevanz - agreed she doesn't need to be even more powerful. That mastery of her powers, and thus using them more efficiently is far more interesting.

And we do blame you, since we're all very thorough and educated readers.

MrDandy - 2/11/2022, 9:39 AM

@bobevanz - She kind of showed up, blew up Thanos’ ship and then got punched out of the movie lol! They never should have introduced her between Infinity War and Endgame. She should have been part of phase 4 or at least left out of Endgame because she felt like an afterthought and mostly shoehorned in.

SirDuckAlot - 2/11/2022, 7:14 AM

I doubt she looks as good as Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow.

OmegaDaGrodd - 2/11/2022, 7:16 AM

You could tell that Carol was a better fighter in Endgame, but I don't know if she was all that much stronger on first glance. Maybe the fact that she was able to do a clean shot through Thanos' ship rather than needing to combo punch through it like she did the Kree warships was an indicator. Otherwise I think Larson here is referring to Carol's physical strength and feats rather than her binary powers

bkmeijer2 - 2/11/2022, 7:24 AM

I hope we get to see her gain mastery over the immense amount of power she got in the first movie, given that's she's already supposed to be the most powerful.

And hope what she says also means we're getting more dynamic action scenes. From what I remember, the first one was mostly just punching.

People with social media is sad record workout do four stop video do no more that’s whole work out Have her stop making videos of her self out she become more bulky in body don’t care how many long she works out for as long movoe is not boring unlike first one

TheWalkingCuban - 2/11/2022, 7:42 AM

Forget the power, I hope she’s less boring. Giving her Superman powers aint the only way they Cavilled her. I could almost see the mustache cgi’ed out when Thor said “I like this one” (smashes her like a coffee mug) “ANOTHA!”

The actress added that she's also mastered doing one-arm pull-ups. "I just started to get kind of obsessed with it. When people say like, 'Oh, girls can't do that,'..."

when has anyone ever said this

SonOfAGif - 2/11/2022, 7:49 AM

@HeraldNumber7 - She has this strange way of thinking. She may have heard it once or twice and then believe all of the men on the planet earth say that. She has severe insecurity issues and a lot of it has to do with her belief that men are constantly out to bash "her".
