Brie Larson Explains Why She Took Captain Marvel Role

Brie Larson explained why she took the role of Captain Marvel originally. The Marvel star spoke with WWE Superstar Tegan Nox in a video on her YouTube channel. Both of them decided to organize a co-workout. That’s a huge deal for Nox who wears ring gear inspired by Carol Danvers’ superhero costume. Fans immediately caught on to the inspiration the first time the WWE star entered the squared circle with the star on her chest. Interestingly, for Larson, that’s a huge reason why she chose to take on the project. Heroes are usually symbols first, and for a legion of fans out there, Captain Marvel fits the bill. Having that chance to provide a character that millions of people could look at and feel a connection with was just too much to pass up. It really isn’t about Larson necessarily, but more about what the person she’s playing represents.
