Seemingly forgetting about ‘The Marvels,’ Brie Larson shares her pick for the greatest team-up of all-time

After Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania got the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Five off to the most unwanted of starts imaginable, focus turned to Brie Larson and The Marvels as the potential saviors of the franchise’s ongoing inconsistency.

Of course, James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the next of the comic book company’s blockbusters out of the gate in May, but the air of finality regarding both the filmmaker’s involvement in the MCU and the current lineup of the team puts it under a different set of circumstances.

The Marvels is the sequel to one of the ongoing spandex-clad operation’s highest-grossing origin stories, brings Larson’s Carol Danvers back to the forefront after a gap of well over four years, and throws a couple of instant fan favorites into the mix to help shoulder the burden thanks to the shared top billing of WandaVision‘s Teyonah Parris and Ms. Marvel‘s Iman Vellani.

However, a last-minute delay set even more alarm bells ringing, and now the star of the second installment has completely overlooked her own impending return to the world of superheroics when naming the single greatest combination in the history of existence.

To be fair, there’s no doubt a large number of Captain Marvel haters who would much rather chow down on some garlic bread than watch Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan embark on what’s sure to be a multiversal adventure that shuffles some more significant pieces on the Phase Five board in the direction of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but if theaters were willing to expand their snack selection, then technically you could do both.
