In this social media picture, Brie Larson is sporting a dress from fashion designer Carolina Herrera. On another person, the black dress could almost seem demure, but something about the low, square-cut neckline and figure-hugging design only highlights the Marvel star’s ability to project glamour. In addition, Nina Park, Brie Larson’s makeup artist, has given her a subtle yet powerful appearance by highlighting her high, angular cheekbones and darkly painting her lips. Brie Larson’s Instagram account tends to be equal parts the actress posing in high-fashion shots, hanging out in pastorally perfect nature spots, and eating a whole bunch of sushi with her boyfriend, augmented-reality artist Elijah Allan-Blitz. Brie Larson and Allan-Blitz worked together recently on the short AR film Remembering, in which the actress played a young artist who reunites with her inner child to reclaim lost ideas. It has a slightly different perspective for Brie Larson than the MCU films, but it premiered on Disney+ (probably due to those Marvel connections).
Brie Larson has not appeared as the cosmically-powered Carol Danvers in a full-length role since 2019, in which she starred in both Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame. She did appear for a mid-credits scene in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but we will all have to wait until next year for The Marvels to see what her MCU future holds. The movie was retitled from Captain Marvel 2 to The Marvels back in September of 2021 to indicate that the film would not solely focus on Brie Larson’s character, but several related ones.
Specifically, The Marvels will pair Brie Larson with Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, with the plot reportedly involving the trio switching places every time they use their powers. Considering Captain Marvel is one of the most powerful entities in the universe and Kamala Khan is a New Jersey teen, this seems like it could get tricky fast, but that is presumably why Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) will also be present to offer harsh guidance. In addition to The Marvels, Brie Larson will soon be starring in Fast X, the tenth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. Almost nothing has been revealed about the plot of that film so far, but it is safe to say there will probably be some powerful cars, over-the-top action, and Tyrese Gibson being put in embarrassing situations.
