During an interview with ComicBook.com, Brie Larson shed light in Carol Danvers’ relationship with Lashana Lynch’s Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel.
In the comics, Monica Rambeau is one of the characters who took on the Captain Marvel mantle and although the upcoming film will center on Carol Danvers, fans will also be introduced to Monica’s mother Maria. Lead actress Brie Larson commented on how the relationship between Carol and Maria will be important to the film and different from other superhero films:
“She is the representation of love in this film and it is something that I’m very proud of, that the love relationship, and it is a deep love relationship, is not by the same lustful definition that we usually attribute to movies of this size. That it’s more complex, and also I think more meaningful than most love relationships that I see in films like this.”
Adding that Maria is “an incredible badass in her own way,” Larson commended co-star Lashana Lynch for helping her bring an uncomplicated female friendship to the screen in a major motion picture:
“I have a lot of them in my life, so to be able to bring that on screen with someone who’s just so crazy talented, and smart, and beautiful, and wonderful, and is doing her own part to make sure that there are revolutions in a movie that are her own, that she’s creating, is just awesome.”
