Brie Larson Discusses Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU Return, Captain Marvel Future

Brie Larson Discusses Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU Return, Captain Marvel Future

As a seasoned gamer and Marvel enthusiast with years of experience in navigating the intricate narrative landscapes of superhero universes, I can confidently say that Brie Larson’s words resonate deeply within me. The sentiment she expresses about the power of unity among diverse individuals echoes my own experiences in gaming, where teamwork often proves to be the decisive factor in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.


Brie Larson, the actress playing Captain Marvel, is hinting at her character’s role in the Marvel Universe ahead of upcoming films like ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’. In a chat on the ‘Bingeworthy’ podcast (via The Playlist), she shared insights from working with Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris on ‘The Marvels’, due in 2023, and discussed potential plans for Captain Marvel.

“I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with those women, and I deeply resonate with this feeling. In fact, it aligns perfectly with my current state, which is:

As the star of 2019’s Captain Marvel, I made a triumphant return to the big screen as the seemingly invincible Carol Danvers in Avengers: Endgame. Later, I joined forces with Vellani and Parris in The Marvels, a project I’m incredibly proud of, given that we three powerful female heroes work so harmoniously together. During a recent podcast chat (details below), I shared my thoughts on this exciting collaboration.

“Collectively, we’re uniting, which feels very authentic to me. Now, regarding the future, there are matters I am aware of but cannot disclose. I’m unable to share anything about it, and I can’t affirm that I don’t know something because that might imply there is information to be shared or withheld. So, I’ll simply state that I can’t discuss the matter.”

Brie Larson Had No Idea RDJ Was Playing Doctor Doom

In a nod to James Bond films like “Die Another Day” and “Casino Royale,” Director Nia DaCosta envisioned “The Marvels” as an action-packed, spy-style adventure. Meanwhile, the chemistry between Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris significantly boosted their film’s appeal. However, it was Captain Marvel’s significant and emotionally resonant connection with another MCU character that had a profound impact in “Avengers: Endgame”.

As a gamer, I found myself in a perilous situation in the fourth Avengers installment, where Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) and I were stranded in space following our defeat against Thanos (Josh Brolin) on Titan. It seemed like the end of the line, but just when all hope appeared to be fading, Captain Marvel swooped in to save us from the icy grip of imminent demise. Thanks to her timely intervention, Iron Man lived to fight another day, ultimately making the ultimate sacrifice and vanquishing Thanos for good.

1. Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, is no longer alive, but Robert Downey Jr. will reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time portraying Doctor Doom. Despite recent meetings with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, actress Brie Larson was unaware that RDJ had been chosen to play the crucial antagonist in both ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’. During a podcast discussion, Larson expressed her surprise about this new casting decision.

Let me clarify. I recently spoke with Kevin Feige, and it seemed as though we were discussing the same day. However, contrary to what it appeared, he never mentioned anything about doing something at Comic-Con. Not even a hint of it!

Although her participation hasn’t been officially announced, it appears likely that Captain Marvel will have an opportunity to engage in a battle with Victor von Doom in either the ‘Doomsday’ or ‘Secret Wars’. The film ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, starring Robert Downey Jr., is set to release in theaters in May 2026. A year after that, ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ will be released in May 2027.
