![]() ![]() Honnold is best known as the subject of the documentary Free Solo, wherein he climbs the 3.200-foot cliff El Capitan in Yosemite National Park using only his bare hands. One of those shows also features climber Alex Honnold, with whom Larson became acquainted. Their hijinks include jumping from a helicopter to the ocean, and then they trek through a crocodile-filled mangrove swamp that quickly becomes a maze with the rising tide. That was Running Wild with Bear Grylls, episodes of which are on Disney+.Īccording to E! Online, Larson’s episode took her to the Gulf of Panama, where she spends 48 hours with Grylls. Larson has parlayed that physicality into an appearance on National Geographic, which is owned by Disney. When Larson promotes her Marvel movies, the show she’s on sometimes highlights the physical training she undergoes to be the most powerful hero in the MCU. So even back then, Larson was an athlete of sorts. The girls become famous for being very unlikely drag racers, with Larson following in Mitchell’s footsteps. The movie is led by Beverly Mitchell, with Larson playing her sister. It wasn’t long after that Marvel announced her as Captain Marvel, and her fame kicked up several notches.īefore all that, however, at age 13 she starred in a 2003 movie called Right on Track, and that’s on Disney+. Then she won an Oscar for Room, where she played the mother of a young boy whose only sense of the world came from a room he and her mother had been trapped in by her kidnappers from there. Her star gradually rose in recent years, with the actress gaining attention through her performances in movies such as Short Term 12 Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and The Spectacular Now. Like her Marvel castmate Scarlett Johansson, Larson got her start as a child actress, with one of her first gigs being in a Jay Leno skit called Roadkill Easy-Bake Oven.

The service also shows off her adventurer’s side with the National Geographic special she did with Bear Grylls.Īs Marvel fans make their way through the movies, they’ll find the MCU actors popping up in unexpected places. In Captain Marvel I think the same ended up being true with Fury and the Skrull leader taking alot of the focus.Brie Larson can be seen in more than just the MCU movies on Disney+. Rogue One on the other hand is much more about Jyn because it allows her some faults and room to grow dramatically. The ironic thing is that films with "Strong female leads" actually often end up being about male characters, the Starwars sequels for example end up being about Kylo Ren and Han/Luke because Rey simply isnt that interesting. The end result though was I think quite a dull and not very likable character, someone like Stark wasnt interesting and likeble purely because he was very competen and morally correct but because he was flawed. ![]() I wouldn't be supprised if Disney put pressure on Feige to both come out with a female lead film ASAP and to make that character very much a "strong female character" which tends to mean very powerful and morally flawless. Warners pushed Wonderwoman hard in that respect and Marvel got a good deal of criticism which wasn't IMHO really deserved. Click to expand.Pearlmutter seemed to be against any female superheroes believing they wouldn't make money at the box office but he started to lose influence years ago and was given the chop entirely from the Marvel films in what 2014? I think as Feige gained more control you see more female characters become involved but because they were tied into the larger stories involving multiple characters you didnt get a "stand alone" female led film(no Ironman films after 2013 either). ![]()
