Brie Larson has been associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2016. When she finally made her debut as Captain Marvel, it was clear from the get-go that she'll be one of the billion-dollar franchise's headliners for the next decade. These days, Marvel actors are no longer tied to lengthy contracts, making it easier for them to take on projects outside the confines of the MCU. This is why Larson has constantly expressed her desire to become part of another mega-franchise, none other than Star Wars.
The Oscar-winning actor's love for the science-fiction epic is already common knowledge to her fans who also agree that she'd be a great addition to the ever-expanding franchise. In fact, the fandom is convinced that she'd be the perfect choice to play live-action Avar Kriss, the main protagonist of the ongoing Star Wars: The High Republic series.
However, Twitter user Kyle Katarn made an intriguing suggestion to cast the 33-year-old actress as a gender-bent Darth Revan. Naturally, the hot take sparked a renewed debate regarding Larson's potential entry to the franchise and which character she should play. Check out the full thread below:

It has long been rumored that Lucasfilm is interested in bringing Larson to a galaxy far, far away but as it stands, the production company has yet to make things official. While it can't be denied that Brie is one of the most polarizing actors in Hollywood, I still believe casting her in a Star Wars project would be the right call, especially considering her level of knowledge when it comes to the material.
Now, would I be okay with Darth Revan being gender-bent in the live-action universe? I guess, as long as Lucasfilm is able to give fans a compelling narrative.
Meanwhile, Brie Larson will return as Captain Carol Danvers in The Marvels which is currently slated for release on July 28, 2023.
