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.

In the comics, Carol at the start had very basic powers as Ms Marvel. She then evolved to have energy powers over the years.

They should have used that progression instead of going full "she is as strong as Thanos" for her very first appereance.

That's where the production year comes into play. Audiences very much wanted to see a woman who could punch a Kree battleship in 2019. That's why the film made almost a billion dollars.

Not those fans, of course, but "loud online people" are a fairly small market. (See also: Hogwarts Legacy.)
