The actress, who won the best actress Academy
Award for "Room", plays former U.S. fighter pilot Carol Danvers
in the highly anticipated film, set in the 1990s and which
follows her path to becoming a superhero.
With the movie featuring plenty of fights, Larson's training
included doing judo and pushing a Jeep, a video of which she
shared on Instagram.
"There's something about pushing yourself beyond a threshold
that's comfortable, and then going even further than that,"
Larson told reporters in Singapore on Thursday.
"It was these moments ... of going beyond what you thought was
possible... and it means sometimes that you end up on the floor
crying, like begging for it to stop but all of that is who Carol
is."
Larson was joined by co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Gemma Chan
in Singapore to promote the film, which begins its worldwide
cinema rollout in March.
In "Captain Marvel", Jackson, 70, plays a younger version of
super-spy Nick Fury, who wears an eyepatch and has a scar in the
"Avengers" films.
"I have a lot less instinct than older Nick Fury has so I
learned a lot from (Larson) during the course of the film," he
said.
