I like her as an actress, and I’d love to see a Metroid film. I can’t say that she doesn’t fit the general description of how Samus is most portrayed in current cannon. She also has experience in “super” type films that tend to be heavy in costumes and greenscreen and such, and I think she did very well as Captain Marvel. With all that said.... meh. I don’t know. Something about her, the versions of her and range I’ve seen in film and such... and just... I don’t know- some intangible factor is missing for me. Off the top of my head and with current “big name” celebrities- if they were going to make the film RIGHT NOW one way or another- I can’t think of someone better per say... but if I had to cast a Metroid film RIGHT NOW personally- I’d hold open auditions for a lead and hang the sales on the brand and not the lead, maybe pad out some big names for voice and secondary roles to have name recognition- but I just...
Something is off about it to me. I could change my mind if she did well or did a killer audition/demo- but for me, Larson as Samus is a pass unless it until I could see her try the role and then I might be convinced.
