Los Angeles| Brie Larson isn’t sure if she’s still wanted to play Captain Marvel. The Academy Award-winning actress has given a wry response when asked if she would play the super heroine again as she acknowledged the hate for her portrayal of the character.
Larson was on hand at the D23 Expo on September 10 to promote ‘The Marvels’,
“How long will you play Captain Marvel?” she responded sarcastically: “I don’t know. Does anyone want me to do it again?” When Variety senior editor Marc Malkin jokingly pleaded, “Don’t be so mad at us”, the ‘Room’ star repeated herself: “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I don’t have the answer to that.”
After Variety posted a clip of the interview on its official Twitter account, Brie received supportive messages from fans.
“Love how the Marvel cast rushed to Chris Pratt’s aid when ppl were clowning on him for possibly being homophobic but can’t lift one finger to support Brie through years of online scrutiny and harassment,” one person sarcastically wrote.
Another defended Brie’s portrayal of Captain Marvel, saying: “I want one person in the comments to explain to me what’s so bad about Brie’s portrayal of Captain Marvel without complaining about her having short hair and being a woman.”
Despite the backlash she’s received, Larson will reprise her role as Captain Marvel in the upcoming sequel, ‘The Marvels’.
