Larson recently completed work on Kong: Skull Island, which just so happens to feature another big Marvel star: Tom Hiddleston.
The Oscar-winning star of Room is a great choice for the part, but back in 2015, she had no idea who Captain Marvel was.
Brie Larson is reportedly the frontrunner to play Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, the studio’s first solo female superhero movie — which is kind of a big deal for a lot of fans.
That’s probably changed quite a bit since this interview took place, but it’s still pretty delightful to see her reaction nonetheless.
