Avengers: Doomsday May Bring Back Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel
Despite the box office disappointment of The Marvels, Brie Larson might be returning as Captain Marvel in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Although it was reported that Larson would not reprise her role in the MCU, recent sightings suggest otherwise.
In a recent Instagram story, Brie Larson was seen voting during the Statewide Special Election while wearing a wing accessory resembling Carol Danvers’ from the films. This detail has sparked rumors of last-minute changes to Avengers: Doomsday, potentially including her character’s return.
Box Office Contrast: Captain Marvel vs. Eternals
While Larson may return despite The Marvels underperforming, other characters like those from Eternals remain absent from the MCU spotlight. Eternals grossed around $400 million worldwide against a $200 million budget, not accounting for heavy marketing expenses, marking it as a financial disappointment.
The film also received mixed critical reviews and failed to resonate with audiences similarly to other MCU entries. One contributing factor was the lack of clear direction after Endgame.
Director’s Perspective on Eternals' Challenges
“Since it was just after the release of Endgame, it had a free rein to experiment with what could and couldn’t stick for the superhero ensemble,” said director Chloé Zhao in a Vanity Fair interview.
Summary
Despite recent setbacks, Brie Larson's potential return as Captain Marvel in Avengers: Doomsday contrasts sharply with the ongoing sidelining of Eternals, highlighting a shift in MCU's direction.
