Brie Larson talks about THAT musical sequence in The Marvels, and her initial reaction to being pitched it

“We’re not actually going to do this right?”: Brie Larson reveals her reaction to The Marvels’ Aladna sequence

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken us to some fascinating places. From the mythical Asgard to the jungles of Wakanda, it’s been fun to explore the universe. However, the 2023 film The Marvels had one of the most unusual locations. 

The planet Aladna seemed like a Disney theme park on steroids. There was singing, dancing, and colorful outfits. 

Oh, and Captain Marvel became a Disney princess. 

As an audience member, I loved visiting Aladna. However, according to Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson, it was even more fun to film. 

Speaking to a crowd at Fan Expo Denver, Brie Larson reminisced about what it was like filming that magical sequence. “I loved all the Aladna stuff. It took a lot of rehearsing. It was so strange. I remember when I first got the script and I saw it, I said, ‘We’re not actually going to do this right?’ And they’re like, ‘No, no, we’re doing this,’” Larson recalled. 

“This is so cool, and it was a really lovely secret to keep. There was so much about it. Her in a dress, dancing, and singing, all of those incredible characters. All of the creatures from that planet, and Prince Yan of course, super-dreamy. It was a lovely little detour. I loved that it just sort of flipped things.”

I agree with Larson, Aladna was one of the best parts of the movie. I hope we get to revisit it in a future Marvel Cinematic Universe project. Seriously, who wouldn’t love an Aladna Disney+ series?
