The actress, who portrays Air Force fighter pilot Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) in the Marvel films, posted a video to show that she had to keep her fitness up over Christmas in preparation for the 2023 movie.
In the clip Larson is seen completing five pull-ups with what appears to be her trainer encouraging her off-camera.
Larson portrayed Danvers in 2019’s Captain Marvel and reprised it for Avengers: Endgame later that same year. Most recently, Larson appeared as Danvers in the credits scene of Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings (2021).
