In a video shared to her Instagram account, Larson gave followers a look at some of the training she's been doing to play Captain Marvel. The video shows Larson making five quick pull-ups look easy while also showing off her impressive back muscles.

"Nine months of training really does some stuff to your body," Larson wrote.

With the production beginning today, fans also got a look at Larson in character as Air Force pilot Carol Danvers training with Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt, 57th Wing Commander, at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
