In a recent interview on SiriusXM, Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson has opened up about Marvel Studios’ The Marvels, confirming that production on the Nia DaCosta-directed MCU sequel has officially begun. Larson also went on to tease the massive scale of the film’s sets, which might mean that the story would probably continue to take place outside of Earth.
“They’re unlike anything else. Huge sets. Huge amounts of people on set. Lots of specialists,” Larson said (via Comic Book). “It’s a really unique experience. I’m a huge fan of Disneyland, so to me it feels like I get to go to my own private Disneyland every single day. Because they’re building all of these insane worlds that no one else knows about, no one else gets to see. You’ll see it when the movie comes out but for now, it’s just mine. I’m in sets that are bigger than you can imagine right now. It’s really special.”
