Brie Larson Dishes on ‘The Marvels,’ Tom Holland and Superhero ‘Suit Envy’

While Larson has spent the last few years playing Carol Danvers (AKA Captain Marvel) in the MCU, we asked her if she had ever envisioned herself playing any other superhero, to which she said, “I've honestly never thought about it. I spend so much time thinking about how to play my character, I don't know if I've thought about playing another character.”

However, she did reveal that amongst the Marvel actors, there has been a case of what she jokingly calls “suit envy.” She noted, “I've been around a lot of superheroes, especially during Endgame time, that I feel like, the thing that was so funny is everybody had envy for each other's superhero suits...I know that the powers are all CGI, but people would look at my suit and they'd be like, ‘Man, yours looks really comfortable,’ and I'd be like, ‘You know, the knees are a little tight,’ or whatever.”

Larson revealed that she had eyed Tom Holland's suit in the past, saying, “I'd be looking at Tom's suit going, ‘Man, your Spider-Man suit looks really comfortable,’ and he's like, ‘I know, but the helmet—having your face covered is hard’...So everybody kind of had suit envy.”

It seemed that in the end though, all the superheroes were pleased with their own costumes. She added, “At the end of the day, I think we all kind of landed on being happy with where we were at.”

We wish we could try on all those cool suits too. In the meantime, we'll be excitedly awaiting Larson's Nissan Super Bowl spot, which will feature a couple of her former Marvel co-stars, in addition to a few Schitt's Creek cast members.
