Samuel L. Jackson didn’t hold back when calling out sexist trolls who attacked female action heroes such as Brie Larson for starring in 2019’s Captain Marvel and the new sequel The Marvels.
“She’s not going to let any of that stuff destroy her,” Jackson told Rolling Stone. “These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she’s a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it.”
Pointed words from the man who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but not necessarily the sentiment shared by the creators of The Marvels, which teams Larson’s Carol Danvers with Teyonah Parris’s Monica Rambeau and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel.
“Making these movies, you just have so much to do and there’s so much you have to pay attention to,” co-writer and director Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, Candyman) told us when asked if she’s bothered by the fact that some trolls sharpen their knives over a film like The Marvels. “And if you add that as well, it just becomes a really unnecessary distraction. So mostly when I think about fandom, I’m engaged with the part of it that interested me when I was younger and made me want to make this, which was people coming together to love something. So for us it was like, ‘How can we make the best movie possible? How can we do something different? How can we have fun?’ Those were really the things we were thinking about.”
