Brie Larson goes out of her way to help new actors joining the Marvel movies. She’s the first one to reach out with advice, like telling them to get in shape. This helps new actors avoid injuries and perform their best. As the actress told in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

I’m the first person to email everybody because it’s very specific and very strange. People are like, ‘I don’t know how to do this.’ Yeah, no one does. Why would you? I’ll say, ‘Train, because you’ll want to be as prepared in your body as you possibly can because it only gets harder as the job goes on.

Despite her positive efforts, Brie Larson continues to face criticism from some corners of the internet. This has left her fans baffled, who have also shown their support. Check out some fan reactions:

The question is: why is all the hate for her? There could be a few reasons. First (according to Poe), Larson is known for being vocal about wanting more fairness in Hollywood, especially for women and People of Color. She even puts special requests in her contracts to make sure movies she works on have a diverse crew. However, this stance has rubbed some people the wrong way.
