We originally mentioned Larson for the role after her Oscar win and even caught-wind of the casting announcement yesterday with a couple of her new Twitter followers that just happen to be the Captain Marvel co-writers Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve.
Congrats to Brie and it looks like we officially have our Captain Marvel folks!
