Academ­y Award winner plays former US fighte­r pilot Carol Danver­s in the highly antici­pated filmSINGAPORE: Oscar winner Brie Larson gets embroiled in galactic conflict in Marvel Studios’ first female-led superhero movie “Captain Marvel”, a role she said pushed her beyond her comfort zone during training. The star, who won the best actress Academy Award for Room, plays former US fighter pilot Carol Danvers in the highly anticipated film, set in the 1990s and which follows her path to becoming a superhero. “There’s something about pushing yourself beyond a threshold that’s comfortable, and then going even further than that,” Larson told reporters in Singapore on Thursday. In Captain Marvel, Jackson, 70, plays a younger version of super-spy Nick Fury, who wears an eyepatch and has a scar in the Avengers films. “I have a lot less instinct than older Nick Fury has so I learned a lot from (Larson) during the course of the film,” he said.
