Brie Larson officially announced as Captain Marvel
ew.com
by Anthony Breznican July 23 2016 Room Oscar-winner Brie Larson is taking the lead as Captain Marvel, marking the first time a woman will play the title character in a Marvel Studios movie. After months of rumors, the actress, also known for her roles in Short Term 12, 21 Jump Street, and (going further back) the teen comedy Sleepover, was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con as the star of the March 2019 film. Larson took the stage during the Marvel’s Hall H panel, joining Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as well as the casts of Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, and Spider-Man: Homecoming for a Marvel family portrait. She later tweeted a photo of herself wearing a Marvel Studios cap to celebrate the announcement. “Call me Captain Marvel,” she wrote. Captain Marvel has had many iterations in the comics, but when Feige announced the project in October of 2014, he confirmed immediately that this version of Captain Marvel would be a woman. “Let me clarify,” Feige said. “Captain Marvel has gone by many names in the comics, has had many people who’ve inhabited that costume and used that power base. I want to make it very clear: This hero’s name is Carol Danvers.” Danvers was created in 1968, appearing in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 — a Captain Marvel story — as an American security officer working alongside Captain Mar-Vell, an alien sent to study the planet Earth. She debuted as the super-powered character Ms. Marvel in the pages of Marvel Comics after her human DNA was fused with genes from the alien race known as the Kree. She went on to inherit the title of Captain Marvel in 2012. Feige previously said this cinematic version of the character will “straddle two worlds. Her origins are very much Earthbound, but her adventures and power base come from the cosmic realm.” The character almost appeared in a cameo at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, except… they didn’t have an actress cast in the role. Now, if Marvel follows its previous game plans, we can look forward to her turning up onscreen in a cameo before her own movie debuts. |

She seems a little small to be Captain Marvel but she is a very good actress (Oscar winner for Best Actress this year) so she will bring a lot of cred to the role.

Interesting choice. She's younger then I expected Marvel to go for (especially in appearance) but maybe they plan to have her in the role for up to 10 years.

Shazam was never a version of Captain Marvel. Shazam was the wizard that gave Captain Marvel his powers. I hate the fact that Marvel Comics has control over whether the original Captain Marvel, the best version of the hero, can even put his own name on his own comic book, or in front of his own movie or TV show. It damages the character, and makes Marvel Comics look petty.

I think Hollywood is trying to redefine and update for the modern times a more politically correct way of looking at superheroes. Wether its a black Johnny Storm or Jimmy Olsen or a Wonder Woman thats more athletic (and less busty) they have been slowly "evolving" the superheroes many of us grew up with.
I hated when they chose Gal Gadot to play Wonder Woman as she is pretty thin and flat chested. She doesn't look anything like the Wonder Woman I grew up with. After watching Batman vs. Superman I thought she was one of the best things about that movie (along with Afleck as Batman and Irons as Alfred). So I will reserve hating on Brie Larson as Captain Marvel until I see the movie (or at least the trailer). |

Not really seeing Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, but maybe she can pull it off.

I would like to have seen her play the first version of the character, Ms. Marvel, as introduced in the comics. She had been given powers by the first (for Marvel Comics) Captain Marvel so she could survive a battle with his enemies, and took the name Ms. Marvel to differentiate herself from him. When he died, she went by several different names until finally settling on Captain Marvel for herself.
For me personally, I prefer her as Ms. Marvel, but that's just me. |
