How Captain Marvel became a symbol of change for women in the film industry.
The writers of Captain Marvel could not have scripted a better ending for its star-studded press conference.
“I’m more curious to know what you thought of the movie,” Larson said. “I mean, we made it for you. That’s what this is all about.” Trumpeting Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel as its first “stand-alone, female-franchise title character” has become a key plank of Marvel Studio’s promotional campaign. Larson herself has expressed a desire to use her growing clout to help diversity in the movie industry. The actress made headlines weeks before the film was released, attracting an onslaught of trollish attacks on the reviews-aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
As with its past blockbusters, Marvel opted to give this unwieldy mega-budgeted behemoth to indie directors who are untested working with movies on this scale. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are best-known for low-budget, character-driven dramas such as 2006’s Half-Nelson and 2015’s Mississippi Grind. Celebrating women in the military, single mothers and female mentors are among the many off-road excursions in Captain Marvel, all rarities for superhero blockbusters.“I have relationships like this, this is what I live every single day,” says Lynch, in an interview with Postmedia “To be able to play the love between two sisters instead of romantic love on screen was a real pleasure, because we rarely get to see that.
