Iman Vellani Wasn’t a Fan of the Captain Marvel Suit
The Marvels’ stars bonded over a mutual annoyance of their costumes.
According to Ms. Marvel actress Iman Vellani, she first got to know Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) by discussing how uncomfortable her costume was.
“…we mostly bonded over the super suit,” Vellani told The Hollywood Reporter. “The big clunky Captain Marvel suit that she wears in the movie, I had to wear it on the TV show, so she was like, “Oh my God, finally, someone understands.” There’s so many pieces involved and so many straps and everything.”
Vellani’s chemistry with both Larson and Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau) is clear to see on the screen. As the youngest actor, she was well looked after from minute one, but soon her co-stars came to see her as an authority on all things Marvel.
“Everyone was very protective over me being the youngest, but I also knew way more than them about their own characters. (Laughs.) So the tables turned when they needed help with something. They’d be like, ‘I don’t understand this scene. What’s the lore behind it? What’s actually going on? Are we punching a moon back into orbit? What?’”
