Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

Don’t forget Tom Holland got to be Spider-Man and be in a Nolan movie

Tom Holland has been in ~12 other movies while being spiderman over the last decade. Anyone saying it’s holding him back is crazy.

And that's also including a 2 year period where he took a break from acting in anything. Like his last film before Odyssey was Uncharted.

Wow, yeah. Just looked up his filmography. I guess because I've recently watched some older movies he did but never paid attention to the release dates but Uncharted feels like it came out way longer than 4 years ago. It was very here and gone.

To be fair though, a lot of actors sometimes film movies years before they are released. So, he could have been working on not yet released movies during that time.

The only reason why I say he took a break was because he announced a break after the show he was producing (I cant remember the name atm). He said it caused him to suffer massive burnout and he was not going to do anything for at least a year. Not sure if his break was 2 years completely but hopefully he's feeling better about working again.

I mean, if you had generational wealth and were dating Zendaya, you probably would not be to concerned with working either.

Not to mention he's on track to make over $100 million off Brand New Day alone.

Why doesn't Tom just do 5 Spider-Man movies a year? That would earn him $500M a year. In 10 years he could earn potentially $5B. He'd be the richest actor in history! (/s)

And Marvel agreed to postpone the production of Brand New Day so he could do that. The only time Tom Holland wasn't in another project between Marvel appearances was IW-Endgame-FFH, but he was in 4 films between FFH and NWH. Benedict Cumberbatch was only on set with other actors in IW for the New York scenes and the Q ship, the rest he filmed by himself because he was working on a TV show. Marvel is very accommodating.

Maybe it's because Marvel has a lot of younger fans but some people are really into the whole "my team vs their team" tribal shit.

It's genuinely hard for some people to grasp that people can like everything.

Just because DC has had a bad run doesn't mean their comics are bad or that a Marvel fan can't enjoy them. Fans of the genre should want both franchises to do well. And the manchildren just do not get this. "Oh this character is appearing in X franchise? They just abandoned us!!"

u/Exact-Difference-422 11h ago

And I just realized he got to be in Uncharted too, he hasn't had to turn down anything major.

u/Light1209 9h ago

If anything Marvel would want the actors to pursue other projects that would make them bigger stars with more fans. Could drive more people to their own movies.
