Brie Larson wants Out of the MCU

A recent report suggests that Brie Larson may have lost faith in her Marvel character as a result of negative fan feedback. Since joining the super-powered franchise, Larson, who will serve as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and lead The Marvels, has come under fire on a number of occasions.

Trolls have taken over the comic book movie genre and popcorn franchise entertainment, for better or worse. In Larson's case, much of the criticism has come from those "who hate strong women," as her MCU co-star Samuel L. Jackson put it, with sexist remarks made about her hero, the films she stars in, and the actor herself.

"Asked three years later if she’d want to return as Captain Marvel after the 2023 movie 'The Marvels,' Larson answered, 'I don’t know, does anyone want me to do it again?' Marvel had expected that Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man would be the trio of star characters leading the MCU into a new millennium, but that was no longer a future it could rely on."

“Marvel Studios] put Brie Larson in [a prominent place in the MCU]. I don't know if Brie Larson was the wrong person for the role necessarily. But the toxic backlash means that Brie Larson doesn't want to play Carol Danvers anymore."
