Brie Larson gives sly answer when asked how long she will keep playing Captain Marvel at D23

Brie Larson is well aware of the hate she gets for playing Captain Marvel, and she seemed to reference that again at the D23 expo in Anaheim on Saturday. 

The 32-year-old actress was asked how long she would keep playing the iconic character during a red carpet interview with Variety. 

‘I don’t know,’ she responded. ‘Does anyone want me to do it again?’

The interviewer laughed at this and called the Room star ‘modest’ though she just repeatedly said she didn’t know. 

Reactions to her comments were mixed with some fans rushing to her defense and others calling her out. 

‘At this point brie larson cannot even breathe in peace because mysoginists will jump on her for no reason,’ one of her defenders wrote. 

‘I hate how some people treated her, she’s awesome, I love Brie Larson and I did enjoy captain Marvel,’ another added.

Calling her out: One fan said that they believe she goes ‘out of her [way] to be as insufferable…as possible’

‘It feels like Brie Larson always goes out of her way to be as unlikeable as possible,’ one critical Twitter user wrote. ‘The man just asked a question. Don’t turn it into yet another passive-aggressive session on how you let the internet live rent free in your head.’ 

‘Why does Brie Larson go out of her to be as insufferable and unlikable as possible in so many interviews? Probably has one of the most inflated egos of any actor working in Hollywood today,’ another wrote. 

While she wouldn’t say how long she’d keep playing the character, Larson will forever be linked to the Marvel heroine.
