Marvel Studios think Brie is wooden & are planning on adding more stars to CM2

Our sources – the same ones who told us about the live-action remake of Bambi being in development last year, and that John Cena is playing Vin Diesel’s brother in Fast and Furious 9, months before the first trailer made it official – have informed us that while Kevin Feige is a fan of Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, some execs over at Marvel Studios agree with the fans and feel that she’s been a little weak and wooden in the role and are now looking to draft in additional support to boost the ensemble cast for Captain Marvel 2.

From what we understand, this is one of the reasons why Marvel are adapting the Secret Invasion storyline in the follow-up, and why the film will feature so many other prominent characters, both new and established. This is all in an effort to offset any backlash towards Larson, and if you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’ll know that everyone from Nova to Spider-Man and even Jessica Jones have been rumored for a role in the sequel. While we doubt that all the names that’ve been put forth will ultimately wind up making an appearance, our sources say that right now, Captain Marvel 2 is being pitched as a mini-Avengers movie, kind of like Civil War. And again, that’s to give Larson some support so that she doesn’t need to carry the film by herself.
