Lead actress Brie Larson faced her own “smile controversy” when the trailer for “Captain Marvel” dropped. Some fans, or sexist internet trolls, criticized Larson for not smiling more in her portrayal of the fighter pilot turned superhero Carol Danvers.
“It’s just one more person who she comes across who tries to tell her how she ought to be,” Boden added. “And her journey of self-realization is about rejecting all those people telling her how or who she ought to be and then embracing who she is.”Berman was happy to include the smile scene in the final edit because it’s “part of the DNA of what women have to go through. It’s important to address it, but also not get preachy.
When we meet Captain Marvel in the 1990s-set movie, she rediscovers a friendship with her former U.S. Air Force colleague Maria Rambeau . As Air Force pilots, the characters work in a field “that’s very male-dominated, and yet they’re drawn to each other as friends because there’s almost no other women,” she explained, standing next to screenwriters Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve. “That’s kind of how we felt in this male-dominated industry of action writing in Hollywood.”Perlman chimed in, “There’s an expectation that women will be competitive with each other, but our experience has been that it helps us lift each other.
