"I don't know if I'm just tired, but I feel like I'm going to cry. It's been a couple of years of working on this movie. Carol changed my life and the movie hasn't even come out yet."

Larson also elaborated on the Carol's strength during a chat for InStyle's March issue, revealing that there were several aspects of the character that resonated with her on a personal level.

The 29-year-old entertainer told InStyle,

“She didn’t apologize for herself. I felt like that was a really valuable trait, because she is incredibly flawed and makes a lot of mistakes … and has to ask to atone for them, and that is super valuable. She’s not ever shrinking herself down.”

Thanks to Larson's hard work and fortitude, fans will now be able to see women showcased in their rightful roles as “earth’s mightiest" heroes on both TV and film.
