There might have been a lot of anticipation over Brie Larson's Captain Marvel movie last year, however, it seems like there are quite a number of fans who want the Academy Award-winning actress replaced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel fans have created an online petition on Care2 Petitions asking Marvel to have Larson replaced as the MCU's strongest Avenger. The results of the campaign might surprise Larson's supporters, but it looks like the petition has gotten close to 30,00 signatures online. That number continues to rise as these fans advocate for the replacement of the Avengers: Endgame actress.
According to the petition's creator, Spike Valentine, Larson needs to resign from her role as Captain Marvel so that she can prove that she is an ally of social justice. The petitioners want Larson to prove that she really does care about the movements that she stands for.
"We need Brie Larson to step down from her role to prove she is an ally of social justice and ensure a gay woman of color plays the role. Let Monica, the original female & black Captain Marvel instead of white-washing characters for the benefit of the straight, white men running Disney," the petition explained.
Other fans that signed the petition had other reasons for asking Marvel to take Larson out of the MCU. Some didn't really like Larson's depiction of Captain Marvel. Others didn't like the way the actress behaved during the promotional campaign for the Captain Marvel movie, attacking fans and attacking co-stars during interviews. Others simply don't like Larson for the role.
