Avengers: Endgame, not Captain Marvel, was Brie Larson's first take on the hero

At a press conference for Avengers: End of the gameHappy Hogan himself, Jon Favreau, asked Captain Marvel's actress Brie Larson what was the life of a young child at school and an entity powerful enough to confront Thanos (or as Favreau compared him). a person named as a designated hitter ").

"I felt a little cold," Larson admitted, "but now I'm … scared?"

Avengers: End of the game is a more memorable occasion for Larson than the public thinks. Although Captain Marvel It's a critical success and a box office sensation (with over a billion dollars worldwide, it's now the eighth largest MCU movie of all time), it's not really the performance Captain Marvel original of Larson. This is what we will finally see in End of Game, who was shot back to back with War of Infinity before Marvel rolled cameras on Captain Marvel.

"[[[[End of Game]will always be personally expensive because it was my first time playing Captain Marvel, "she says." We shot this film first, so I stumbled and found out who this character was without script for this one or script for Captain Marvel, and I was playing for the first time in front of legends. "

Marvel's legacy of secrecy made it difficult to make Carol Danvers the embodiment of a difficult character for Larson, who also had to be silent about the challenges. Aside from the game of spoilers, Larson had only one word to designate the rest of the team: surrealist.

"I came [to the MCU] at the most magical moment, "she said." It's exactly this tenth anniversary, and my first real introduction has been the 10-year-old photo, a remarkable day and super surrealist, as well as [I wasn’t] allowed to talk about it. It has always been a dream. "

If there was a big stake, as Favreau insinuated, the purity of entertainment balanced everything for Larson.

"There is a balance: as big as it is, it's still like a bunch of kids doing what I did during my summer vacation, making movies in my garage. There is always this feeling of wonder, play and encouragement. This film deals with heavy topics, so you switch between deep and serious things, then we go play Boggle – for which I am very good. "

Perhaps the biggest revelation of the tight mouth End of Game press conference: Avengers love Boggle. They play in airplanes, breaks, and most of the time, Larson, Don Cheadle and Paul Rudd go to school. (According to Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo is awful, although after shooting "asbestos" in one game, he is subject to Boggle's brilliance.)

Throughout the hour-long press conference, most members of the Avengers cast reflected on the distance that separated them from more than 10 years of MCU films and End of Game offered a sense of closure. (What kind of closure was not said – but Evans spent most of the time squirming in his seat for fear of saying the wrong thing, so take that your way.)

But for Larson, End of Game This is just the beginning – and his exuberance was a welcome addition to all the other people who were heading to a safe place through a spoiler minefield.

"I can not wait for this film to come out," she said with a sense of relief. "I want to talk about my experience, which I have not done for a long time."
