We know that Brie Larson, star of Captain Marvel, very much wants to be a Jedi and she has revealed that she was up for, and ultimately lost out on, a role in a Star Wars movie.
The actor, who joined the ever-expanding MCU as Carol Danvers back in 2019, launched her new YouTube channel yesterday (July 2), and chatted about her love of the space opera franchise and a bunch of her past auditions with a friend in her first video.
“I auditioned for Star Wars too,” the 30-year-old admitted. “I auditioned for Hunger Games, I auditioned for the Terminator reboot.
“I actually was thinking about the Terminator reboot today because I got a flat tyre and I was like, ‘Oh the last time I got a flat tyre was when I was driving into my audition for Terminator,” she laughed. “Got a flat tyre at the audition, and then didn’t get the job.”
While Larson refrained from detailing which specific parts she tried to bag, fans have speculated that, with Star Wars, it was either Rey (who went on to be played by Daisy Ridley when she was introduced in The Force Awakens) or Rogue One protagonist Jyn Erso (who was brought to life by The Theory of Everything star Felicity Jones).
