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

Avengers: Doomsday and Brie Larson's Potential Return

Despite the poor box office performance of The Marvels, Brie Larson appears likely to reprise her role as Captain Marvel in Avengers: Doomsday. Initially, it was believed Larson would not return to the MCU as Carol Danvers, but recent developments suggest otherwise.

Speculation Fueled by Instagram Evidence

In a recent Instagram story, Larson was seen voting at the Statewide Special Election wearing what closely resembled Captain Marvel's winged costume element. This sparked rumors that last-minute adjustments are being made to Avengers: Doomsday, potentially bringing her character back to the franchise.

Contrasting Fate of the Eternals

While Larson's involvement follows a financially underperforming film, the Eternals remain absent from future projects. The film grossed around $400 million against a $200 million budget, excluding significant marketing expenses, marking it as a commercial disappointment.

Reasons for Eternals Underperformance

“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.” — Chloé Zhao, director of Eternals

Summary

Despite recent setbacks, Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is poised for a comeback in Avengers: Doomsday, highlighting MCU's shifting priorities amid mixed audience responses.
