The actress, known for her work on the Spike Lee series She’s Gotta Have It on Netflix, is joining Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel in a supporting role, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Brie Larson is starring as the Marvel superhero in the film directed by duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Jude Law will also star in the film, which is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Ben Mendelsohn is playing the film’s villain.
Screw all that mess! What I’m wondering is if she will play the sun godessherself…Monica Rambeau aka Photon who lead the Avengers, was a member of the Mighty Avengers and later the Ultimates, dated both Dr. Voodoo and Blue Marvel? Is she playing that sistah?! Cause I’m freaking out over here! I dont know about you but my interest in Captain Marvel just moved from not giving a damn to intrigued as f***k!
More as it breaks!
