Brie Larson on ollut Marvelin Captain Marvel, eikä faneilta saatu palaute ole aina ollut rohkaisevaa. Lisäksi huhujen mukaan Larsonin kanssa olisi hankala työskennellä, ja hän on haastatteluissa sanonut asioita, joilla on saanut fanit kimppuunsa. Larson ei omien sanojensa mukaan halua käyttää aikaansa fanien palautteen kommentointiin.
"I don't have time for it. The things that I have extra time to really look at are, like, Am I eating healthy food? Am I drinking water? Am I meditating? Have I called my mom today?"
Kirjailija Joanna Robinson julkaisi hiljan kirjan MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios. Sen mukaan Larson muuntui entistä kyynisemmäksi ja turhautuneemmaksi kulissien takana faneilta saamansa palautteen vuoksi.
"The future of those Marvel icons was unclear. The departure of franchise anchors like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson had already taken its toll, as had the shocking loss of Chadwick Boseman, but other MCU stalwarts were heading for the exits. The Guardians of the Galaxy cast went on a farewell tour, Brie Larson grew disillusioned, and Marvel tussled with Sony in a custody battle over Tom Holland."
The Watch -podcastissa Robinson esitti, ettei Brie Larsonilla ole mielenkiintoa jatkaa Carol Danversin roolissa.
"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."
Larson itsekään ei ole viime aikoina ollut niin varma omasta jatkostaan.
"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."
