Needles & Grooves

I believe it mostly came down to insular comic dude-bros not liking her casting as Captain Marvel and that she was pretty outspoken (the horror!) about wanting more diversity in the movies, fanbase, and press. . This is a pretty good recap. https://screenrant.com/captain-marvel-fan-backlash-brie-larson-explained/

I really want Brie Larson to be cast in a Star Wars movie, simply to watch SW dude-bros heads exploding.

@mdmost Cool, just wanted to know if I could dismiss them as bigots or not.

and really, who where these people hoping would be casted as Carol Danvers? She's a pretty damn solid choice.

@mdmost As a lifelong SW fan, don't even get me started on how toxic the fanbase has become....

@DJSJ I've heard people rumble about Emily Blunt should've been Marvel. But honestly had she been chosen incels would've found something to get aggro about

@Archduke Diaper Baby I always hear people fancasting her as Sue Storm. That I can see, Carol not so much. But they also want John Krasinski to play Reed Richards which is such bad casting.

@DJSJ yup I've seen the F4 fancasting for them. I thought Capt Marvel was enjoyable. I'm not a huge Marvel person (prob seen ~40-50% of em over the years) but I thought she did the character well

Emily Blunt was originally considered for Black Widow but was unable to take the role because she was contractually obligated to film Gulliver's Travels and couldn't do both movies. I'd love her to be able to play Sue Storm.
