Avengers: Doomsday Seemingly Bringing Back Brie Larson's Captain Marvel Despite 'The Marvels' Is Peak Hypocrisy

Avengers: Doomsday May Bring Back Brie Larson's Captain Marvel

Despite The Marvels underperforming at the box office, Brie Larson might be returning as Captain Marvel in Avengers: Doomsday. Initial reports claimed Larson would not reprise her role, but recent developments suggest otherwise.

Speculation Fueled by Instagram Appearance

In a recent Instagram story, Brie Larson was seen voting in a Statewide Special Election while wearing a wing that closely resembled Carol Danvers' from the films. This has led to speculation about last-minute changes in Avengers: Doomsday, hinting at Larson's return.

Eternals' Absence from Upcoming MCU Projects

While Larson may return despite The Marvels' box office failure, the Eternals remain absent from the MCU's near future. The Eternals grossed about $400 million against a $200 million budget, excluding large marketing expenses, and received mixed critical reactions.

"Since it was just after the release of Endgame, it had a free rein to experiment with what could and couldn’t stick for the superhero ensemble." – Director Chloé Zhao on Eternals' direction.

The film struggled due to unclear direction and failed to resonate strongly with audiences compared to other MCU entries.

Summary

Brie Larson's potential return in Avengers: Doomsday contrasts with the sidelining of the Eternals, highlighting ongoing shifts in Marvel’s creative and production decisions.
