Shadowing Practice: Marvel Cast Flirting With Brie Larson | Captain Marvel | MCU 2022 - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Speaking of inspiration, I'd like to hand it over to the woman of the hour, Brie Larson.
2
Brie Larson stars in the upcoming sequel to Captain Marvel called The Marvels in mid -2023, which also stars Samuel L.
3
Jackson and Iman Villaini.
4
There have been some hints regarding the plot with Spider - Far From Home post -credits scene revealed
5
that the films Nick Fury and Maria Hill were actually the Skrulls, Talos, and Serene.
6
Additionally, we also know that unlike the first Captain Marvel film, the sequel will be set in the present.
7
While we wait for this film's release, we thought it'd be fun to look at some moments between the rest of the Marvel cast playfully
8
and maybe subtly flirting with Brie Larson, so let's go ahead and jump into it.
9
And of course, some Marvel trivia for you.
10
Who was the first celebrity autograph Brie Larson received?
11
Leave your answer in the comments down below
12
and stick around to the end of the video to find out if your answer was correct.
13
During an interview where Brie Larson was a guest host for Jimmy Kimmel, she interviewed Jamie Foxx, who plays Electro in the MCU,
14
and compliments her on her appearance and work in the Marvel Cinemana universe.
15
Hi!
16
You look amazing!
17
Thank you so do you!
18
How do I look behind the desk?
19
Man our television monitor almost fell off in the back when you came out, you're beautiful man, give it up for her!
20
Thank you!
21
I know you're so used to seeing me in my permed wig for so long.
22
Yeah, I mean this is wow!
23
You gotta look man, she's amazing ladies and gentlemen.
24
Thank you!
25
Bye!
26
But real quick, make sure you guys check out our Instagram page linked down in the description.
27
There's a ton of interview moments and memes so make sure you check it out and give us a follow.
28
Even some of the female Marvel actors like Scarlett Johansson I didn't think about
29
that because I just felt like I was basically a glorified extra and you were Scarlett Johansson.
30
So I was like, whoa.
31
I noticed you, Brie.
32
I noticed you.
33
What movie?
34
You are not a glorified extra.
35
We did this movie called Don John that was directed by Joseph Gordon -Levitt.
36
Danae Guerrera, who stars in the Black Panther franchise in the MCU, plays a game where she has to choose which Marvel actor she would take home to meet the parents,
37
and she actually chooses Brie Larson for a good reason.
38
Choose an Avenger to bring home to your parents.
39
Captain Marvel, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Ant -Man, Okoye, Thor, Black Widow, or Nebula.
40
I would go with Captain Marvel.
41
I think she'd get along the best with, you know, with parents and be the most lovely.
42
I'm counting my own character in that.
43
The Ms. Marvel post -credits scene introduced Brie Larson's Captain Marvel back to the MCU.
44
In the scene, Kamala vanishes only for Captain Marvel to take her place.
45
Captain Marvel has become a key player in the MCU, and this show will tie into not one, but two of Marvel's TV shows.
46
No plot or overview yet, as the release date is still far off.
47
Chris Evans and Brie Larson were once popular in terms of being paired together, when during an interview with Kendall Jenner, Jimmy Fallon admitted that he could set the two up.
48
We made sure.
49
Okay.
50
Okay, okay.
51
Okay, let's read the thing.
52
Ooh.
53
Okay.
54
Okay.
55
Should I go first?
56
I have a nice one.
57
I feel like I have a really nice one.
58
Really?
59
Yeah.
60
Me too.
61
Um.
62
Chris Evans and Brie Larson.
63
Okay.
64
You like that?
65
Yeah, that's a nice one, actually.
66
Chris Evans even admitted that he loves her in terms of how close their relationship is.
67
I love Green Lancer.
68
We did a movie together back in O 'Neil and Scott Wilbur.
69
It's a family through and through.
70
Everybody was really nice.
71
I don't know.
72
I had a really good time.
73
Excited to see what the future holds and I have no idea what will happen next, but I'm excited to find out tonight when I watch the movie for the first time.
74
Of course, later on, fans took to Twitter to respond to this saying it wasn't such a bad idea.
75
However, when the two celebrities responded, they said they respect each other's work and there's no evidence to suggest
76
that the two have ever had anything romantic between them.
77
Larson was linked to musician Alex Greenwald from 2013 until 2019,
78
while Evans dated Jessica Bale and Jenny Slate before being linked to Lily James in 2020.
79
The two appear to share a friendship that goes all the way back to their first movie together, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
80
Samuel L.
81
Jackson goes on to praise a lot of her work
82
and the fact that he has learned a lot from her on set working together.
83
Incredible to go to work with her.
84
Somebody I can trust, somebody I enjoy, somebody I know is gonna make what we're getting ready to do fun.
85
And it's always one of those, we can make this seem like we've known each other forever.
86
Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson go on to explain how her
87
and Brie Larson's character is sporadically shipped by fans within the MCU.
88
She even took to Twitter calling her dreamy.
89
Like we both try to fix each other's love lives?
90
Yeah.
91
Everyone knows who I'm dating.
92
You don't know?
93
Take a guess.
94
I've heard rumors.
95
What are they called?
96
Shipping?
97
Shipping.
98
I'm being shipped with.
99
Captain Marvel.
100
I thought Thor was being shipped.
101
With Captain Marvel?
102
That's why I'm saying let's make a love triangle.
103
Let's make an MCU.
104
Oh my god.
105
Let's make an MCU like thriller.
106
My favorite Avenger is the newest Avenger, Brie Larson.
107
Seems like these two have a fairly close relationship as well as Chris Evans.
108
Chris Hemsworth also praises Brie Larson on her work during Avengers Endgame.
109
closely on this couch besides Don.
110
Aw, man.
111
That's so sweet.
112
Are you kidding me?
113
It was like my first day at school.
114
Like, I wasn't going to mess it up.
115
I was just trying to, like, be polite and figure my stuff out and, like, not have a panic attack.
116
Aw, Chris.
117
That's so nice.
118
That's really nice.
119
That's sweet.
120
I'm still stronger than you, though.
121
You're not, though.
122
And he has right to praise her for her extensive training for that film.
123
Rather than bulking Larson up to play a superhero like her Avengers co -stars had been doing for years, Jason Walsh, her personal trainer,
124
was more focused on building the superhero mentality.
125
He told Men's Journal about the process and how he aimed to build Larson's confidence as much as her strength.
126
I affectionately called myself an introvert with asthma before I got to play Carol Danvers, she recalled.
127
Since she could scarcely walk up a hill without being out of breath, all that changed once her training actually began.
128
By the end of her months -long regimen, Larson could do far more than walk up a hill without assistance.
129
She could also push a 5 ,000 -pound jeep up an equally steep incline.
130
In real life, she proves she really does have superhero strength.
131
That's Bree pushing a 5 ,000 -pound jeep up an incline with no help.
132
Good depth.
133
Here, she pounds out push -ups with metal chains.
134
And it's funny to see these two actors together as they
135
have been having a bit of a feud with who's the strongest or who has the stronger powers in the MCU, which that can be debatable.
136
Tom Hiddleston even laughs off the fact that he was flirting with her during the premiere of Kong.
137
On Lighter night, you got to flirt with Brie Larson, which is a nice job, right?
138
Well, we don't really flirt with each other.
139
You're kind of not handling what, shouldn't you?
140
I don't think so.
141
We were actually quite keen that there shouldn't be a...
142
There's a chemistry of mutual respect.
143
Brie is wonderful, she's an absolutely phenomenal actress with such natural intelligence.
144
And for a trivia question, Brie Larson revealed in an interview on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon
145
that her neighbor gifted her her first ever piece of signed celebrity memorabilia by Meatloaf.
146
Overall, Brie Larson gets a lot of praise for her character in the MCU
147
and in real life when it comes to her personality and what she stands for.
148
Some of the cast members of the MCU have called out some.
149
So what do you guys think about all this?
150
Are you a fan of Brie Larson and are you excited to see her in the upcoming film, The Marvels, next year?
151
Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments down below.

153
That's it for today though.
154
We'll see you all next time with a brand new video.
155
Yeah, they've always been great.
156
That's the best thing about Marvel.
157
They have this kind of baked -in -the -cake fanbase because of the amazing work that came before these films.
158
So there's, I mean, it's a double -edged sword.
159
You have this wonderful fan base, but you also have the pressure to make sure you satisfy the people whose taste is from the source material,
160
so you can't deviate too much.
161
It's just great to...
162
Hi, Brady.
163
Hi.
164
Bless you.
165
What a fun springtime you're having.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
