There have been fans upset about Brie Larson not showing enough emotions in the Captain Marvel trailers. One of the emotions not prominent in the trailers was smiling. The actress talks about how the smiling controversy is something that women experience. She also advised those who aren’t women having the option of doing better.
Minor Spoiler Alert: There’s a scene where a man on a motorcycle tells Carol Danvers to smile.
“That’s just a depiction of the female experience,” Brie Larson said. “That’s just what it’s like. So it didn’t really both me that much when I saw that that was the reaction because that’s just how it goes.”
The scene is definitely an example of art imitating life.
“It happens,” she added. “This is part of why art that depicts the female experience is so important because on one hand, for women and girls it allows us to go, ‘Oh, I have that experience, too.’ And those that aren’t in our bodies can go, ‘Wait, that happens to you? We’ve gotta do better.'”
Captain Marvel co-director Anna Boden talks about the whole smiling scene and how she isn’t surprised at the online reactions.
“It was always in the script. It’s not an uncommon thing for women to hear,” Boden said. “So it doesn’t surprise me at all that it was in social media. I think a lot of women can relate to that moment.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time fans were upset about a superhero not smiling enough. There were those complaining about Henry Cavill not smiling or showing enough emotions as Clark Kent, aka Superman, in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
