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 disappointment of The Marvels at the box office, Brie Larson appears to be returning as Captain Marvel in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Although earlier reports suggested Larson would not reprise her role in the MCU, new signs hint otherwise.

New Evidence from Brie Larson’s Social Media

In a recent Instagram story, Larson was seen voting at the Statewide Special Election, wearing a wing accessory resembling Carol Danvers' iconic wings from the films. This detail has sparked speculation about last-minute changes being made to the Avengers: Doomsday cast and storyline.

Meanwhile, the Eternals remain absent from upcoming Marvel projects despite shared struggles at the box office. The film grossed $400 million worldwide on a $200 million budget, excluding heavy marketing costs, which contributed to its financial shortcomings.

The movie failed to connect strongly with audiences partly due to a lukewarm critical reception.
Director Chloé Zhao admitted the film lacked a clear direction, as it was produced shortly after Endgame and had more freedom to experiment with its approach.

"It had a free rein to experiment with what could and couldn’t stick for the superhero ensemble."

Summary

Brie Larson’s potential return as Captain Marvel contrasts with the sidelining of the Eternals, highlighting ongoing shifts in Marvel’s cinematic universe direction despite recent setbacks.
