Academy Award winner Brie Larson who was chosen to don the role of the female avenger is gearing up for this role now. According to Cinemablend, Larson is receiving a lot of accolades through social media.
''Like, on social media, I get sent a lot of pictures of young girls wearing the Captain Marvel costume, and I'm excited to see more of that'' Larson confessed candidly. ''She's such a great symbol for young girls, and I'm realizing what a deficit we have, that we don't have more of those. I think it's really cool to see a girl in a Batman costume or Spider-Man costume, but I'm really excited that there's a symbol for women. I think that that's really important'' she added further.
So until the movie is released on women's day on March 8, 2019, watch this video which talks the details of the shortlisted directors.
