Taking on the lead part for the MCU movie "Captain Marvel" came with some intense training for Brie Larson. In a Page Six interview from 2019, Larson opened up about what was required to portray Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. The "Room" star underwent physical training for a total of nine months, which included "heavy training," as well as working alongside stunt workers. "I watched 'Star Wars.' And trained for this. Six months heavy training, then three months with stuntmen," Larson said. "I did everything, including skydiving. Professionals set it all up, but I did it." Larson was also hanging upside down for one scene, and filmed others in which she's "roped military-style 50-feet in the air and get[s] free" on her own, she stated. In addition, Larson said that she'd worked on the film for a total of one-and-a-half years.
Since the release of "Captain Marvel," it has been announced that Larson will next star in a sequel called "The Marvels," per Insider, and will be released in July 2023, per Den of Geek. In an Uproxx interview, Larson was asked about returning to her MCU character.

Larson also addressed whether or not she'll appear as Captain Marvel again in the future.
