I still can't believe if finally happened. They really did so good with this casting. Our Carol Danvers is an Oscar winner with an amazing personality!

And she has the general look and demeanor for the role. It is rather perfect really.

That's probably the best casting news of the entire Marvel panel.

Brie was a dream choice for me among younger choices. Not because of the Oscar, I just thought she was borderline perfect for this particular role and would fit into the MCU family chemistry wise as well.

Congrats to Brie Larson! Looks lIke she'll be a blonde for the conceivable future

 

[Gee]

I hope she gets the "mohawk sidecut".

 

[DarthMuppet]

I am soooooo happy and soooooooo relieved. For a while there, I didn't think it was gonna happen. Marvel could not have picked a better actress to bring Carol to life on screen. This is literally one of the best casting decisions they've ever made for the MCU.

And hey... Even the Katheryn Winnick fans on Twitter are taking the news surprisingly well... Well, most of them are anyway. Others... Not so much.

EDIT: And even though I'm fairly certain Carol will have long hair in the MCU, for anyone worried about whether or not Brie can pull off a shorter hairdo...

Now hopefully it doesn't backfire like the one and only other time this happened for me.

At least this one's got good writers on board, so that's a start. Now let's get a good director too. (come on, Jennifer Kent!) But Carol's casting was the biggest piece of the puzzle so I'm beyond ecstatic that they got that part SO right.
