Kevin Feige added that Brie Larson is someone "you're going to want to go on this journey with," much like Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), so that would indicate that the actress is being prepped as one of the main MCU representatives. Since the July announcement, Larson's casting has earned praise from both general fans and Marvel contributors, the latter including writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, who wrote the Captain Marvel comic book series for a few years. She described Larson as having the right "gravitas and power" for Carol, while also being being funny and playful. Larson recently impressed audiences with her performance in Room, for which she won an Academy Award, and she'll be seen next year as part of Kong: Skull Island's ensemble. Captain Marvel, however, will arguably be her biggest project yet, both in terms of its blockbuster status and her exposure to many kinds of moviegoers.
