Brie Larson Covers The March Issue Of Marie Claire UK

Brie Larson is on the cover of the March issue of Marie Claire UK. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Captain Marvel. Highlights from her interview are below.

On receiving support from women in the industry after Room: “I found a supportive sisterhood, not just in Emma [Stone] and Jen [Lawrence], but in the many women I’ve had the opportunity to come across and learn from over the past few years. It’s 
a community of like-minded people, which has been a gift.”

On Captain Marvel being a role model: “It’s so interesting, as it’s not something I thought about until 
I was in the cinema watching Wonder Woman. About two minutes in, I was sobbing and thought, ‘Why am I crying so much over this?’ But it was seeing all of these warrior women who were so self-sufficient. That wasn’t something I identified with growing up – my hero was Indiana Jones. To have the chance to be one example of this is powerful and exciting.”

On dreams and goals: “I have so much that I want to do. Most of my goals are trying to bring in people, who are not traditionally associated with the movie industry, to tell their stories and help facilitate that. 
I also want to help with a non-profit school to teach young people, folks who have just gotten out of prison, or anyone who is diverse to learn skills in different departments, so that we can better diversify the industry that I work in. And then I have personal stuff – I’m passionate about martial arts, so I’d like to spend as much time as I can getting better at that. I haven’t even scratched the surface of what I can do creatively.”
