Fans aren’t the only ones excited to see Colonel Danvers in live action form, actress Brie Larson — who plays the titular character in 2019’s Captain Marvel — recently spoke with SciFiNow to offer a little insight into her role in the MCU.

“Being a Marvel family member now, it’s still really surreal,” Larson reflected “I still can’t believe it to be honest, so very ‘pinch me.’”
