Samuel L. Jackson has no tolerance for online trolls attacking his Marvel costar and friend, Brie Larson.
“She’s not going to let any of that stuff destroy her,” the Secret Invasion star, 74, said of the online hate Larson, 33, received following the release of their 2019 film Captain Marvel in an interview with Rolling Stone published Tuesday, June 20. “These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she’s a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she’s genuinely that.”
Larson starred as Captain Marvel in the studio’s first-ever solo female-led film. In addition to receiving backlash for her performance in the action flick, she was also criticized for using the film’s press tour to speak out about diversity in Hollywood. Not to mention, trolls flooded the film’s Rotten Tomatoes page with negative reviews weeks before its March 2019 release. Despite the hate, the movie went on to gross over $1 billion at the global box office.
“I’m happy to be on the forefront of the normalization of this type of content and to prove once again that representation matters,” the Oscar winner told Variety and iHeartMedia’s “The Big Ticket” podcast in April 2019. “Diverse storytelling matters, the female experience matters, and these are markers.”
Larson — who confirmed her split from ex-boyfriend Elijah Allan-Blitz in March — addressed the backlash at last year’s D23 Expo in September 2022. When asked by Variety how much longer she could see herself playing Captain Marvel, she responded, “I don’t know. Does anyone want me to do it again?”

They found him and, yeah, they got him.” “There are worse examples than that,” Jackson added. “I remember when we got ready to do ‘Avengers,’ someone printed out a copy of my ‘Avengers’ script that had my watermark on it, and put it online for sale. I was shooting in Canada and Marvel came to Canada. It had been printed in the production office… They found out who it was, dude quit, left the country. They set up a fake buy for the script, dude didn’t show up. It was crazy.”
