Samuel L. Jackson Defends Brie Larson Against Online Misogyny

Samuel L. Jackson praised Brie Larson's resilience and feminist principles, saying that Larson remains unbothered by the "incel dudes" who have a problem with movies depicting women as heroes. Jackson and Larson first bonded while working together on 2017's Kong: Skull Island, and he actively encouraged her to take on the role of Carol Danvers in the MCU. Larson has spoken positively about her experience of playing a character who represents so much to so many comic book fans.
