She may be only in her early thirties, but Brie Larson is already an A-list actress. Indeed, she won an Oscar for her leading role in the critically-acclaimed movie 'Room' (2015), but it's her turn as Captain Marvel that is currently bringing her world-wide recognition. It was the first female-led standalone film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she'll be reprising her role in the sequel (not to mention other Marvel projects).
