Brie Larson Trained Hard For Her Captain Marvel Role, But Her Efforts Got WASTED!

The Marvel fans have a lot of things coming up for them by the studio. Apart from the most awaited 'Avengers: Endgame,' another film that everyone is waiting to watch is 'Captain Marvel.' It is the first female-centric film by Marvel that focuses on the superhero character of Captain Marvel, who is said to be the strongest Avenger in the comics. The film is slated to release on March 8, 2019, and the lead role is played by Brie Larson.

According to Metro, the actress revealed that she had undergone 9 months of intense training that lasted for two hours every day so as to prepare for her role. However, Larson later found out that the stunts are going to be performed by a stuntwoman.

The 29-year-old actress spoke about the 9 months of training she had gone through before the shoot started and three months of stunt training, for two hours every day.

She told Collider, "I did nine months of just training, training, and three months of stunt training with the stunt team where we spent two hours every day, five days a week, It wasn’t until we started shooting and I started doing all my own wirework, stunts and flips and stuff that people were like, 'You know, nobody… now we’ll tell you; nobody actually does this.' I was like, 'Huh.' But I love it."

"It definitely makes things more complicated in certain ways because I can be taking a lot more naps than I am," she added. The actress was being trained by Jason Walsh, the actress revealed that after nine months of training with the trainer, she felt super strong and she actually pushed a car uphill with someone sitting in the front seat!

She said, "I spent nine months training with him ahead of time. And I was getting super strong. I was like, ‘Well, she can like move planets. The least I could do is move a car."

"So I thought it was gonna be – I’m trying to remember how long we had trained together for. Maybe five or six months at that point. And I just showed up in the gym one day and he was like, ‘All right. Let’s do it.’ And I pushed the car, yeah. [Laugh] And it wasn’t as hard as I thought, which was kind of crazy. There was someone in the front seat in the case for some reason – the car’s in neutral, but it’s going uphill, and I pushed it for a minute," she added. 

Larson also revealed a bit about the personality of the most awaited superhero, Captain Marvel, giving insight about her expectations, sense of humor and more.

She says, "I mean, I think she has an ego but in a healthy way. She doesn’t have an unrealistic expectation of herself. She just owns that she’s really good and really skilled, which feels good to play. She also has an incredible sense of humor and makes fun of herself, makes fun of other people, has no issue if someone makes fun of her."

"I will say that this character is probably the most dynamic character that I’ve ever played. There’s the most range – as of now; you’ll see what the movie is – but as of now it’s been the most range I’ve ever played a character. I’ve had to go through every emotion possible with her. And a lot of this movie, although it has great comedy in it, there’s also real depth to it and emotion. So I think that the film will have a lot, which for me it’s like, that’s what I want," she added.

Talking about how the film involves a lot of dramatic and emotional scenes, Larson had also said. “That is something that is really exciting to me about this film. We did not cut corners on that stuff. Like, when it’s funny, it is funny, but also when there are deep emotional things happening, it’s real. So I was able to bring some of those same things that I’ve brought to full dramatic roles into this, which I’m really proud of because I think it will really set this film apart.”

The film also stars Samuel L Jackson, Jude Law, Ben Mendelson, Gemma Chan, and others. The film is one of the much-awaited movies as a lot it is related to the final MCU movie 'Avengers: Endgame' which will make way for newer superheroes. The film is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The trailer of the film got an amazing response from the audience and they are eagerly waiting for the film.
