Brie Larson was asked about returning for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday while promoting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and she didn’t give much away.
With a smirk, Larson answered, “Ah, you know I can’t talk about that, nice try.”
The moment immediately adds more fuel to the Captain Marvel speculation, but it still stops well short of confirming anything.
Brie Larson keeps Marvel fans guessing
Larson’s response is the kind of answer Marvel fans know well. She didn’t deny anything, but she also didn’t confirm that Carol Danvers is part of the movie.
The rumors do offer Larson won’t be a part of the film.
Marvel has not announced Captain Marvel for Doomsday
Marvel officially announced Avengers: Doomsday back in March 2025 and revealed a long list of cast members when production began (see below).
Brie Larson was not among the names included in that cast announcement.
However, that still does not necessarily rule her out. Marvel’s current movie page for Avengers: Doomsday lists the film’s release date as December 18, 2026, which leaves plenty of room for more reveals, with it rumored dozens more will appear.
The cast
The confirmed cast includes Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Florence Pugh, Simu Liu, Tom Hiddleston, Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Danny Ramirez, Hannah John-Kamen, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Kelsey Grammer, Channing Tatum, Tenoch Huerta Mejía, Lewis Pullman, and Robert Downey Jr.
