Brie Larson went on to achieve greater fame after she portrayed the role of the titular character in Marvel’s Captain Marvel. The actress reprised her role in Avengers: Endgame which is widely considered as the most successful of all time in the history of cinema. However, the next time she reprised her role as Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, the outcome was very different.
The Marvels was the biggest flop in the history of MCU
Ever since the first release of Iron Man, no other movie in the history of the MCU has bombed so badly at the box office as The Marvels. The movie which was released last year in November bombed at the box office and only managed to gross almost $206 million reportedly becoming the first flop of MCU. The Marvels starring Brie Larson was allegedly supposed to gross almost $440 million just to break even but unfortunately, it did not even come close.
Last year, the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger even opened up about the failure of The Marvels in an interview with CNBC and said filming during Covid-19 times was one of the main reasons for the failure of the movie. He said,
“The Marvels’ was shot during Covid. There wasn’t as much supervision on the set, so to speak, where we have executives [that are] really looking over what’s being done day after day after day.”
Brie Larson’s upcoming movie and projects
Although The Marvels turned out to be a huge disappointment, Brie Larson is not showing any signs of stopping down and has dived into new work. So, we look at the Room‘s actress upcoming projects to see what the future holds for the Academy Award winner.
1. Lady Business
Brie Larson first made her directorial debut with the comedy-drama movie, Unicorn Store back in 2017 which was the first movie of 2 movie deal. Lady Business is the 2nd movie of her deal with Netflix which will direct and likely star in. According to Deadline, the movie revolves around “two young female entrepreneurs, Penelope Gazin and Kate Dwyer, who had to invent a third male company founder in order to be taken seriously in the business world.”
2. Untitled CIA series
Back in 2019, Brie Larson had signed up to play the role of CIA agent Amaryllis Fox in an untitled CIA series that will based on the real-life story of an agent of the name. According to sources, the series will be based on Amaryllis Fox’s memoir, Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA. The description of the book is already thrilling enough for one to realize that a series based on this book would be pretty amazing. The description says,
“Amaryllis Fox was in her last year as an undergraduate at Oxford studying theology and international law when her writing mentor Daniel Pearl was captured and beheaded. Galvanized by this brutality, Fox applied to a master’s program in conflict and terrorism at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, where she created an algorithm that predicted, with uncanny certainty, the likelihood of a terrorist cell arising in any village around the world.”
A huge bidding war took place in 2019 for the rights of Fox’s story of which Apple emerged victorious and decided to make a series.
Although a lot of projects are lined up for Brie Larson’s future, a release date has not been decided for any of them as of yet.
