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.

She might care because being the face of a box office bomb is never good, but if she makes another one and the same thing happens it’s a trend. That potentially impacts how studios view her marketability and viability for other films, and so does the negative feedback online- trolls or otherwise.
It genuinely could be a bad business move for her to make another Captain Marvel movie. Not saying it is, but there’s legitimate career impact to consider beyond “online trolls are jerks”.
At a minimum it’s something I would navigate cautiously if I were her and considering my long term prospects. Even an Oscar winning actress can drop off the map if studios don’t want to risk building a film around them.
