Playing a Marvel superhero requires a whole lot of strength and resilience, but there was perhaps even more pressure on Brie Larson to be physically fit for her role. As Captain Marvel, Larson is the first woman to be the sole lead character in a Marvel film – the only other female star is Evangeline Lilly, who shared billing with Paul Rudd in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Nowadays cinema is so clever that stars don’t have to be very physically strong, but that didn’t matter to Larson. Larson has posted a lot of her workouts on Instagram, showing just how she got fit to play Captain Marvel – scheduled for release in the UK on March 8. Larson gave us a look into how you get a strong core – the superhero way.
