Captain Marvel.During a previous interview, the actress shared her thoughts on her character’s latest onscreen adventure.“After the first film, we&#x27;re at an interesting spot,&quot; said Larson. &quot;She&#x27;s (Danvers) dealing with being on her own and then suddenly she&#x27;s thrust into a situation with this new team grappling with what it means to be a leader.”The latest film is the 33rd in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is a sequel to Larson’s first flight as the super-powerful “Captain Marvel” in 2019.It was MCU’s first stand-alone, female-led superhero franchise. Fittingly, powerhouse director Nia DaCosta took the helm in continuing Captain Marvel’s story.&quot;When I first came onto the film, one of my biggest desires was to get deeper into who Captain Marvel was as a person,&quot; she shared. &quot;In the first film, she doesn&#x27;t know who she is, and the next time we see her in Endgame, she drops down, punches Thanos, and then leaves again.&quot;DaCosta added: &quot;So, I really wanted to know who she was, how she felt about being the savior of the universe and where does she live? I want to know all those things.&quot;Two other strong female leads share the screen with Larson: Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris as Captain Monica Rambeau.MCU&#x27;s MVP Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury, while Zawe Ashton joins the cast as a powerful warrior who goes toe to toe with Captain Marvel.“The Marvels” also stars Korean actor Seo-Jun Park and plays a charming prince.&quot;We had such a great time working with Seo-Jun and he&#x27;s a really great actor,&quot; said DaCosta. &quot;I think it&#x27;s his first English-language role. So, that was really fun to be a part of. I don&#x27;t want to give too much away about his character, but I think he&#x27;s someone from Carol&#x27;s past and they have a really strong and Important relationship.&quot;“The Marvels” is now out in the Philippines and in the U.S.
