Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel, praised one of her The Marvels co-stars by referring to them as “the future” of the MCU. After a brief cameo in Ms. Marvel from a year ago, Larson will star opposite Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris in The Marvels, another big-screen Marvel Studios adventure. After stealing the show in Captain Marvel, Larson’s Avenger will now play a supporting role in the next sequel. This time, Carol Danvers will serve as the mentor for Vellani and Parris’ Marvel personas as they through a “really exciting period” developing into “fully-formed” superheroes. The 20-year-old Vellani has been taken under Larson’s wing, it has been revealed in the run-up to The Marvels, as the Oscar-nominated actress helps introduce the next round of MCU heroes.
The Marvels actress Brie Larson promoted her MCU co-star Iman Vellani in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. The Ms. Marvel actress is “the future,” said Larson to the publication, adding that “he is the perfect Ms. Marvel” and “one of her favourite persons on this earth:”
“Iman is the present. She is the ideal Ms. Marvel and the most amazing person and cast member. She can accomplish anything she wants, therefore I’m really happy for her success and for what she will achieve with her life. She is among my favourite persons on the planet.
According to Larson, “a significant part of why [she] wanted to portray Captain Marvel” in the first place was the comic book relationship between her MCU character and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel:
“Ms. Marvel and what that signified was a large part of why I wanted to play Captain Marvel. To see that role realised by such a wonderful human with so much potential is simply a really thrilling thing,” she said.
Despite having worked with Marvel Studios since 2019, Larson said that she hasn’t had to counsel Vellani all that much:
“I think the great joke is always that you’re getting educated by kids your own age. I’m sure there are more ways I can help her, but she also teaches me so much every day, so I’m sure there are other ways as well. I simply appreciate her companionship.“
The deep bond Brie Larson and Iman Vellani share is obviously clear even months before The Marvels premieres in theatres. Marvel Studios needed to get the connection between Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan just right on-screen, but it appears that they struck it lucky by finding two actors who are friends whether the cameras are rolling or not. Not just Larson and Vellani are involved, either. The whole ensemble of The Marvels seemed to have forged close friendships. During D23, Larson, Vellani, director Nia DaCosta, and Monica Rambeau actress Teyonah Parris all posed beside one another while engaging in various antics. Even Harrison Ford has been spotted hanging out with the Marvel super team. They all adore each other and it shows. It is simple to see what Larson means by this “future” phrase with regard to Iman Vellani in particular after watching her explosive performance in Ms. Marvel.
The Marvels is now scheduled to open in theatres on November 10 following a recent postponement.
