Captain Marvelin näyttelijä Brie Larson on saanut osakseen paljon kritiikkiä fanien suunnasta vuosien varrella. Nyt kollega Samuel L. Jackson on kertonut Rolling Stonen haastattelussa, että kriitikot vihaavat vahvoja naisia.
"Brie's a stronger person than people give her credit for. We had done 'Kong' together, which was not the most wonderful experience for either of us. We became great friends during that particular experience because we were having such a hard time."
"Then, we bonded through the election while we were doing her movie when Donald Trump won. She was broken and I was like, 'Don't let 'em break you. You have to be strong now.'"
"Then, when she got Captain Marvel, she called me and was like, 'They want me in the Marvel Universe. Should I do it?' And I was like, 'Hell yeah! Let's do it!' But she's not going to let any of that stuff destroy her. These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she's a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she's genuinely that."
