Samuel L. Jackson slams toxic Marvel fans sending hate to Brie Larson as 'incel dudes who hate strong women.'
Brie Larson is a remarkable actress in her own right, having starred in her first acting gig in 1999 as a child actress. Now all grown up and stronger than ever, the actress went on to star in prolific roles, including Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and, most notably, Carol Danvers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, despite her success in her long-standing career, she was also targeted by "toxic Marvel fans" on various social media platforms.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Larson starred in Captain Marvel alongside Jackson in 2019. And although the actress provided a stellar performance in the MCU feature, some were seemingly not pleased with the idea of having a female superhero in a leading role. Of course, times have changed, and the archaic notion of only having male main characters in a massive superhero franchise is no longer widely accepted.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, the Nick Fury actor recalled when Larson consulted him about accepting the leading role Marvel Studios and Disney offered. Jackson explained that the two of them became close friends while filming Larson's directorial debut Unicorn Store, saying "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!'," the actor shared, adding: “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.
