Top 10 Hottest Workout Photos Of ‘Captain Marvel’ Star Brie Larson
Brie Larson is taking flight as Captain Marvel — and she has the ripped body to prove it. Marvel has unveiled the second trailer for the franchise’s first female-led solo superhero flick on YouTube. Said trailer features Captain Marvel’s backstory, an epic space battle, and a scene where the fierce superhero known as Carol Danvers knocks out an elderly lady on a subway.
But it’s Brie Larson’s real-life superhuman strength that really has people buzzing. Before she suited up to play the Air Force fighter pilot with out-of-this-world powers, Larson spent the better part of a year doing her own heavy lifting in the gym. The 29-year-old Oscar winner followed an epic strength training to get into tip-top shape for her role as the first-ever female lead in a movie belonging to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Larson reportedly trained for nine months to build up her physical strength before filming for Captain Marvel even began. Her workout routine included pull-ups, weighted pushups, 215 lb. deadlifts, 400 lb. hip thrusts, and more.
“A huge part of [Captain Marvel] is her strength,” Larson said, per E! News.”I knew if I could go through that experience, I would get closer to her and I’d understand [her].”
Over the course of her transformation into Marvel’s butt-kicking leading lady, Brie Larson shared some of her best workout photos and videos on her Instagram feed, which you can see below.
