Brie Larson teases the Avengers 5 and 6 return of Captain Marvel.
Renowned for her performance as Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Brie Larson has made hints about a possible comeback for her character in next projects. Larson was questioned on Carol Danvers' participation in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars on an appearance on The Playlist's Bingeworthy Podcast. Larson hinted that she might know Carol's next movie appearance while still keeping quiet, saying, "I can't say anything and I can't even say that I don't know because that might mean that there's something to say or not say. I will so simply say that I cannot say. Although Larson refrained from stating anything specific, this answer implies that she might be involved in next MCU projects.

Larson was also asked about her response to Robert Downey Jr.'s comeback to the MCU as Doctor Doom, a character debuted during Marvel Studios' Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Before the announcement, Larson, who had lately visited Marvel Studios' president, Kevin Feige, told an interesting story: "I want to be clear. I was just with Kevin [Feige]. That same day he said, "Oh yeah, we're doing a thing at Comic-Con." He hardly mentioned this at all! Not very much!" This exposes Feige's omission of telling Larson the Doctor Doom announcement, so surprising the event.
