Baseless criticism and toxic behavior by "fans" is nothing new with regard to modern cinema. Brie Larson, who played the role of Captain Marvel in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, among others, has found this out. The actress had to face a wave of hate.

Mainly, the issue of introducing a female superhero, who would receive a solo film and play a significant role in the universe, was attacked. The archaic view that the main characters should only be men is still recognized by many people.

However, not everyone likes the way actresses like the aforementioned Brie Larson are treated. Samuel L. Jackson, a.k.a. the movie's Nick Fury, has come to the defense of his set mate. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone the Hollywood sta revealed that the actress playing Carol Danvers consulted him about the possibility of joining the MCU.

"When she got the role in Captain Marvel she called me and said: "They want me in the MCU. Should I do it?" And I answered her: "Let's do it!" She won't let any of these things destroy her. All those incels who hate strong women, feminists or just ladies who express their own opinions... Everyone wants other people to be what we want them to be. She is who she is and she really is herself."

Brie Larson did not care about the opinion of fans and we can still watch her in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The next opportunity to do so will come as early as November 2023, when the second part of her character's adventures will debut on cinema screens around the world - The Marvels.

This time, however, Brie Larson will not be alone: Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan, played by Teyona Parris and Iman Vellani, will be starring alongside her.
