It's outside noise: 'Captain Marvel' star Brie Larson on trolls

Brie Larson's vocal feminist stance has earned her both fans and trolls but the actor, who fuels her portrayal of "Captain Marvel" with extreme confidence, says she has learnt to tune out the "outside noise" and focus on doing what she feels is right.

Larson's casting as Captain Marvel, "the strongest superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe", has made her a target of online negativity.

"I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I won't pay attention to either of it (positive or negative). I just do what feels right in my heart and all that stuff is outside noise," Larson told PTI when asked about dealing with online trolls.

The actor, 29, says she relies on a close set of people for support.

"I know who I am and I know what it is that feels right and what I want to do. I just stay true to that. And those other things about myself that I need to learn, things I can do better, I trust that people that love me and are close to me in my life, will tell me those things. Not that outside stuff."
"The character is so beloved that I want to make sure that the people who have loved her for so many years feel like seen and represented. That was very important for me and I was lucky that I had years to kind of get a handle on it. She'll, just like in the comics, continue to grow, evolve and change, as time goes on."
