Whereas she was doing press exterior the primary stage space, she was requested a reasonably simple query — how lengthy do you assume you will proceed to play Capt. Marvel?
Her reply’s telling. She says she frankly does not know, overtly questioning/questioning whether or not individuals really need her to take up the mantle any greater than she already has. It was somewhat tense, and the interviewer tried lightening the temper … to no actual avail.
Trustworthy reply: Brie all the time got here throughout as very smug and smug in her interviews when Cap Marvel got here out. She thinks she’s being witty, but it surely comes off as hostile. This seems to be to be one other occasion the place she thinks she’s being playful however isn’t coming off that method.

Now, the backlash … Brie’s catching flak from an excellent quantity of parents replying to this video within the feedback — with their foremost gripe being, why is she making such an enormous passive-aggressive stink over such a layup of a query … particularly with this saga being years outdated.
We’ll spare you the small print of all of it, however basically … when Brie was forged as Captain Marvel again in 2018 and with its launch in 2019, there was a variety of seemingly random hate geared toward her — for quite a lot of causes not even we perceive. Her haters say she’s merely unlikable — her advocates say she’s the sufferer of blatant misogyny by a rabid fan base.
Why does Brie Larson exit of her to be as unbearable and unlikable as doable in so many interviews? Most likely has one of the inflated egos of any actor working in Hollywood at this time. https://t.co/2VFFIoa2ra

John Boyega Rips Disney for Ruining His ‘Star Wars’ Character Improvement
After all, she’s going to do that latest film — which comes out subsequent yr — the place she’ll reprise her character … however with all of the grief she’s getting, we would not be shocked if she hangs it up and strikes on from the Mouse Home.
John Boyega will get this all too properly … he, too, had a tough go with the ‘Star Wars’ fan base, and Disney at giant. Protected to say, that studio and all that comes with it ain’t for everybody.
