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.

Just because they maybe want to see her smile because well I don’t know maybe because she’s normally an optimistic character doesn’t make them sexist

ent Such earrings probably painful to wear.

😒 ugh trolls

I would have just criticized her terrible acting and wooden performance.

It's too bad the audience can't smile more while watching her awful performance in this movie.

recall when a movie was just a movie? ya me too.

Why. Never saw Batman, Captain America or Superman smile much. H

Flop . . . Marvel is “Jumping the Shark”.

Sexist internet trolls? Just.... put the computer down, get outside for a week or 2. Holy heck. 😝😜🤣

TananariveDue Of course. Because when I need an intergalactic fighter pilot to save the Earth, I need to see their pearly whites. 🙄

Solid controversy to go with the marketing of this film. They had to go with something. Decided on this.

Why is this news?

Did she not tell an audience that the movie wasn't made for white men?

Who the hell cares if she smiled or not. People can be so judgemental and flawed.

Who cares about this?

Wow gross

Your headline suggests that this should even be debated. Do better.

What a load of sexist bull! brielarson is PHENOM! They wouldn’t request ‘more smile’ if Capt. Marvel was a dude. Keep-up the stellar work, Brie! ✊🏻💥

One of the hottest bodies on the planet.

wait...we want the superhero to smile more... because we're sexist? gtfoh

She might be traumatized in the “Room”, we should go easy on her, no smile in “Marvel” no biggy!

I mean who wants to look at resting bitch face for 2 hours

And here I thought it was because she said she didn’t want so many white people asking her questions

Will my kids like it? Cause honestly that's all I care about

She needs to smile more.

Sexist? A huge complaint about Cavill’s Superman was that he didn’t smile either. enoughwithmetoo

Can we stop giving these sexist trolls validation?
