    AceShowbiz – Brie Larson originally turned down her acclaimed role as “Captain Marvel” because she “didn’t think I could handle that.”
    The Oscar-winning actress explained in her new YouTube video that she originally said “no” to the role multiple times, but Marvel bosses kept pursuing her.
    When she was asked about her interest in the role, Brie, who was working on “Kong: Skull Island” at the time, said, “Oh, I can’t do that. I have too much anxiety. That’s too much for me. I don’t think I could handle that.”
    Officials from the company called again several months later, and she told them, “I’m too much of an introvert. That’s way too big of a thing for me,” admitting in the online video, “It was beyond my comprehension.”
    However, after the star finished filming “Kong”, she had a meeting with staff from Marvel and she was “very moved by what they were trying to achieve, with what they were talking about,” noting, “It felt very progressive.”
    “I was very surprised by the way that they were talking about feminism and the way they were handling it,” Brie added. “They were like all female writers. Female director. Going to have as many female voices in this as possible.”
    Brie has appeared as Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers twice, including in “Avengers: Endgame”. A sequel to her solo adventure is in the works, and is currently slated for a 2022 release.

      AceShowbiz – Brie Larson opened up on her battle with social anxiety in her first-ever YouTube video.
      The “Captain Marvel” star welcomed viewers to her page on Thursday (02Jul20) when she shared clips of video conversations she’s had with friends, family members, and other YouTube personalities, from whom she sought advice and content ideas for the new project.
      During her 21-minute-video debut, titled “So, I made a decision…”, Larson opened up about how taking the titular role in the hit superhero movie helped improve her mental health.
      “For me, my baseline has been I’m an introvert with asthma. That’s been my story for myself. I’m introverted, I’m scared, I have social anxiety,” she admitted.
      “And through, in particular, playing Captain Marvel, that kind of wiped clean those titles I had for myself and made me go, ‘Whoa, I’m not really that anymore.’ ”
      Since joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Larson admitted that she’s found “speaking out, telling my story, talking about the things that I’m scared of has helped” her a great deal.
