LOS ANGELES — The Marvel Cinematic Universe might be heading for a reset with the release of Avengers: Endgame later this month. But with her face beaming a smile almost ear-to-ear, Captain Marvel star Brie Larson thinks she’s joined the interconnected superhero franchise at the right moment.

“I came in at just the most magical time,” she told a packed press conference in downtown Los Angeles Sunday. “My first introduction to everyone was the 10-year photo, which was a really remarkable and special day. The whole thing has felt like a dream… This film will always be personally dear to me.”

But if there’s one thing she wants, it’s for Endgame to actually come out, so she can discuss what it all means.

“This film deals with some heavy subject matters. We were bouncing between things that feel very deep and serious, and then we were going off and playing Boggle, which I’m very good at.”

Press conference moderator Jon Favreau, who directed the first two Iron Man films and plays Happy Hogan in the MCU, likened her part to being called up to bat in the World Series with the bases loaded.
