Before being cast as Air Force pilot turned Kree warrior Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, Brie Larson admits she was “never particularly active,” which made the ensuing nine months of hardcore workouts particularly brutal.

“Carol is a trained warrior, and I can barely walk in a straight line,” the 29-year-old Oscar winner said with a laugh. “So for me to get to the point where I can do all of the things that were required of me meant really putting myself to the test and dedicating a lot of hours to it.”
