Brie Larson Surprised A Theatre Watching ‘Captain Marvel’ On Opening Weekend

Captain Marvel may have internet trolls mad online, but it’s certainly getting people to the box office on opening weekend. The latest Marvel movie is already the biggest film of 2019 and it’s on pace for a huge haul when everything is said and done.

But opening weekend is big for a lot of reasons, and Captain Marvel star Brie Larson made it even more special for some moviegoers on Saturday. Carol Danvers herself popped up at a screening of the film and the crowd completely lost it. Watch Larson, wearing a Captain Marvel track jacket, stroll in with a movie soda and hear the crowd react.

“I just heard that I was on the cups and popcorn and I wanted to see for myself,” Larson joked, pointing at herself on her cup.

The crowd loved it, and Larson seemed genuinely touched that so many people came to see a screening of her film.

“Thank you so much for coming, Larson said. “You guys are awesome to come out, like, opening weekend.”

It’s a charming bit of appreciation from someone who stars in what will likely be one of the highest-grossing films ever. And it’s great that Larson is really soaking in the fun of being part of a movie that’s special to so many.

Later on, Larson helped fans get concession snacks before their showings.

Despite those angry that the movie even, uh, exists, it looks like Larson is making a lot of people happy on opening weekend.
