Not sinceTop Gunhas there been a major Hollywood movie where military pilots have played such a central role, and both Larson and directorsAnna Boden and Ryan Flecktook that element seriously. Larson famously visited the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada to research her role, and the newCaptain Marvelclip shows what went down during that visit. Larson took a ride in an F-16 and admired the real-life female Air Force pilots.
“The core of [Carol] is the Air Force,” Larson said in the clip. “That spirit of her, that sense of humor mixed with total capability in whatever challenge comes her way is really what Air Force pilots are like.”
The two other clips go into the grueling physical training that Larson had to go through to get into superhero shape. It’s admittedly not as fun as flying in an F-16, but just as inspirational.
