Brie Larson won’t spill the beans on Captain Marvel, but she did reveal her stance on DC’s latest DCEU project.

That, of course, would be Wonder Woman, which has succeeded both critically and commercially. Larson was asked about the film in an interview with USA Today, specifically her reaction when she finally saw it on the big screen.
“I sobbed, like, seven times,” said Larson. “It just felt really important. It felt like something I hadn’t seen.”
Larson doesn’t feel though that Wonder Woman adds pressure to Captain Marvel, as the concept itself of a woman opening a big budget film is something fans and studios should be accustomed to.
When asked about the extra pressure Larson said, “Why is there pressure? I don’t understand why there’s pressure put on women as if it’s the most shocking concept ever that a woman can open a movie — it’s like, it’s kind of a tired concept. We’ve proven it for a long time, so I don’t put pressure on in that way at all.”
Wonder Woman continues to impress at the box office, even this late into its run. The film has now passed $400 million stateside, and will soon pass the original Spider-Man. It even has a chance to surpass Captain America: Civil War, which currently sits at $408 million domestic.
Soon fans will be able to see Marvel’s powerful heroine follow Wonder Woman‘s lead, and her debut can’t get here soon enough.
Wonder Woman currently enjoys an 84.65 on ComicBook.com’s composite ranking, while Captain Marvel holds a 3.70 out of 5 on ComicBook.com’s anticipation rankings. You can find the official description for Wonder Woman below:
Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action-adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
Wonder Woman hits Blu-ray later this year, while Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, 2019.
