Well, Samuel L. Jackson has clearly HAD IT with these motherf**king "incels" hell-bent on harassing Brie Larson.
The 74-year-old acting icon - best known for his no bulls**t, foul-mouthed tough man characters on screen - spoke about his friendship with the Captain Marvel actress in a new Rolling Stone interview this week.
In it, he recounted how he and Larson, 33, became close friends before she scored the leading role in 2019's Captain Marvel, which has been unfortunately controversial.
According to the Django: Unchained actor, the pair formed an unlikely bond over their shared dislike for filming Kong: Skull Island in 2017.
Larson then reportedly asked Jackson if it was a good idea for her to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after being offered the coveted role of Captain Marvel, especially given that Jackson himself has portrayed MCU character Nick Fury since Iron Man was first released in 2008.
"And I was like, 'Hell yeah! Let's do it!' But she's not going to let any of that stuff destroy her," Jackson told Rolling Stone, citing the immense sexism Larson was forced to endure online after being announced as Captain Marvel.
Jackson then took aim at the men who had been unfairly targeting Larson, adding that Larson was "stronger" than people think and that "these incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she's a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she's genuinely that."
Larson has been a vocal supporter of women's rights and viral movements like #MeToo, being outspoken about feminism in the entertainment industry and how the media seems to consist of mostly "white dudes." In fact, in 2019 she told Marie Claire that after noticing that reporters for her press junkets are often "overwhelmingly white male," she'd actively made a choice to make her press days "more inclusive."
She later told Kevin McCarthy from Fox 5: "What I'm looking for is to bring more seats up to the table. No one is getting their chair taken away. There are not fewer seats at the table, there's just more seats at the table."
Sadly, that didn't deter certain Marvel fans, who edited Larson's serious facial expressions in the Captain Marvel trailer to make the actress appear as if she was smiling, as well as flooding Captain Marvel's Rotten Tomatoes page with horrendous and sexist comments. This ended up lowering the film's overall score.
Earlier this year, the first trailer for The Marvels - which stars Larson's Captain Marvel opposite Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel; the first Muslim superhero in the MCU - became the most-disliked trailer on YouTube in MCU history.
In the past, fans of Larson have criticized her male Marvel co-stars for sitting back and not commenting on or openly supporting Larson's activism.
Of course, who needs that when Samuel L. Jackson has your back?
