Captain Marvel: Brie Larson 'relieved' she has not spoilt film
Back in June 2016, Larson was announced as the MCU’s Captain Marvel. But it turns out she had to keep her casting a secret for an entire year. With all the pressure on her not to spoil the Avengers Endgame prequel, the 29-year-old has admitted she was “so scared” about letting the secrets out before Captain Marvel was released. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, Larson said: “I’m just relieved I haven’t spoiled it yet. Honestly, that’s the only thing.”

Kimmel asked: “Have you been nervous about it?”
She replied: “Yes! I’ve been so scared. I wasn’t allowed to tell anybody that I was even playing Captain Marvel for a year.
The host enquired: “Did you tell anybody though?”
Larson said: “No! Are you kidding me I was so scared…I hate getting in trouble.”
Nevertheless, she admitted her co-star Samuel L Jackson was a comfort in saying it wasn’t like Marvel Studios would fire her.
So far Larson has not spoilt Captain Marvel or Avengers Endgame, unlike Hulk star Mark Ruffalo who ruined the end of Avengers Infinity War a year before its release.
Speaking with Screen Rant, she said: “I'm scared and I don't know what the future holds either. I'm not let into those top-secret meetings, so we'll see.”

She added: “We'll see what happens. I love all the female characters so much.
“So, of course, like that's what I'm interested in. I’m super into an all-female Avengers movie.
“Yeah, I think that would just be, it would just be cool to see all of them interact together.”
Captain Marvel is released in UK cinemas on March 8, 2019.
